Events organiser at the home Angie Caldwell, 45, said she was happy with how their Crufts event turned out.
She said: “We had around 20 dogs visit us on the day which was great, and they were all extremely well-behaved, and got lots of attention from our residents who absolutely loved each and every one of them.
“We even had a few visitors who are keen to come back and see us again which will be lovely.”
It was part of the continued events the home is now organising events after the pandemic.
It hopes to get more involved with the community and see new faces to avoid its residents becoming lonely or isolated.
Angie said: “We will soon be arranging a trip to the RSPCA Danaher Animal Shelter, which our residents are already looking forward to.”
Colne House is also in need of volunteers to join them on regular outings. Those wanting to get involved can contact the home on 01787 222227.
