He told Euro Weekly News: “I absolutely love dogs and have two of my own, so just knew straight away I wanted to help. Unfortunately, I am working and can’t be here on the actual day, so tried to think of another way to help.

“It’s just my time, but I really wanted to meet the dogs and everybody who helps out and volunteers at the shelter. The guys really need a good turnout on the March 8.”

TICKETS ON SALE: Donna, Louie, Christine and singer Kim.

More than a dozen brilliant acts are lined up, and tickets cost from just €10 with the doors opening at 12 noon.

Louis added: “What a fabulous day out! For €18 you can enjoy a great show with lunch, why not take the family, or the whole office. Please, please, please support this amazing event, it’s for such a fantastic cause.”

DONATIONS: Anything from an hour of your time to flea collars and blankets would be greatly appreciated.

Organiser Donna Sandland was delighted to have Louie on board, and said: “We really hope the event will be a sell-out. It’s great Louie is here, and in fact anybody can come and help walk the dogs or donate food, blankets and leads.

Christine Climent, owner of Benidorm Palace, and founder of the Save My Life fundraiser, added: “There are so many ways people can help. Last year’s event raised €18,000, but that has been used. People can leave food donations, or collars, blankets etc, at Benidorm Palace, they will be greatly received and appreciated.”

The event will be compered by familiar faces, Tim Aimes and David James. The doors open at 12 noon for a 1pm start and tickets cost €10, and are available from; Benidorm palace box office: Benidorm seriously office
