The event raised £5,300 for the branch’s Animal Centre Rebuild Appeal, with RSPCA officials saying more money is expected to come in.

Organiser Steph McCawley, fundraising and marketing officer at RSPCA Chesterfield and North Derbyshire, said this year’s event was the ‘best yet’.

She said: “The turnout from all our supporters with their adorable pooches was overwhelming.

“It was a fun day which we always look forward to but couldnt do it without the help of our volunteers who help make this day so successful.

“We hope to see everyone again next year.”
