A CARE home is staging a Crufts-inspired event to raise money for Keighley-based charity Aireworth Dogs in Need.

The Dales, at Draughton, is hosting a dog show on Wednesday, March 8.

People are invited to take along their pooches from 2pm.

There are various fun classes, from waggiest tail to the happiest hound.

Residents will vote for their favourites, and gold, silver and bronze awards will be given in each category.

There will be a small entry fee, with all proceeds going to Aireworth Dogs in Need, a volunteer-run foster-based dog rescue.

Other attractions at the event will include a bake sale and refreshments.

Organisers are Georgina Reddiough and Kay Thompson, who both work at the home.

They said: "Our residents all love animals. We have lots of visits from different therapy pets, which always cause a great deal of excitement.

"We know how much everyone loves to watch Crufts, so we decided to have our own event so that our residents will get to see dozens of gorgeous puppies in the flesh and we can raise money for a good cause.

"Please bring your dogs along on March 8 – our residents will be so happy to see them!"
