 Sunny played Annie's dog Sandy at the Playhouse Theatre |
An appeal has been launched for funds to build a re-housing centre for abandoned dogs. A former RSPCA rescue dog Sunny is the mascot behind plans to convert a boarding kennel in Weston-super-Mare into a state of the art re-housing centre.
The North Somerset branch of the RSPCA needs �500,000 to make this happen.
A spokesperson for the venture said: "We re-house over 800 dogs every year and we have to raise this money ourselves.
"There are many ways people can contribute.
"They can buy a kennel, for example, or sponsor the fostering of a dog," she added.
Sunny, a seven-year-old cross between a Norfolk Terrier and a Jack Russell, made the news in February when she took the role of Annie's dog Sandy in a production of the musical Annie at the Playhouse Theatre in Weston.
She was originally taken to the RSPCA as an unwanted three-month-old puppy.
