"The event was great and we even raised £100 for animal charity Woodgreen," Ms Crampton said.
"We are a care home that accepts dogs and pets who meet the criteria, and we like to get the community involved in various activities and events, such as the upcoming dementia talk.
"It was really sweet and everyone really enjoyed the event. It was the first dog show we hosted."
