Our Mutt’s & MINI dog-friendly event definitely deserve a round of a-paws!

Staff at our Portsmouth MINI dealership staged a special fund-raising event over the weekend – to which people were invited to take their furry, four-legged friends!

Snows Portsmouth MINI in Eastern Road was the venue for the dog-friendly gathering, called ‘Mutts and MINIs’. And the organisers definitely deserve a round of a-paws as it was a resounding success!

The aim was also to show that MINI cars are great at catering for canine companions.

Owners were invited to enjoy some breakfast at the showroom, find out more about the excellent cars in the MINI range and perhaps take one for a test-drive.

For anyone thinking of buying their dog a Christmas treat, we were joined by Bark bakery pet treat stand, as well as chances to win prizes for lucky pups, and fund-raising activities in aid of the Dogs’ Trust, the rescue and rehoming charity, who were also present.

Martin Ayling, Brand Manager at Snows Portsmouth MINI, said: ‘‘MINI are proud that their cars are exceptionally dog-friendly, so we thought we’d invite visitors to bring their pets along to the dealership to see this for themselves and enjoy a morning of fun activities.

‘‘The event was a great success and we were delighted to be able to raise funds for the Dogs’ Trust. Roll on next year when we’ll hopefully do it all over again!’’
