This year we are launching a Christmas Shoebox appeal for the first time. We want to give all of our rescue dogs and cats a fun and love filled Christmas, just like they would have in a forever home. We are aiming to give all of our dogs and cats in rescue (including those in foster care) their own shoebox to open on Christmas Day (perhaps with a little help from their human friends!).
Here’s how you can help:
-
Choose whether you want to give a box to a dog or a cat
-
Fill a recycled shoebox (or anything you like really, but think of the environment) with items from the shopping list
-
Drop off your box, either at our centre in Whitminster or at our Artisan Christmas Fair on 15th December (11am to 4pm at Stonehouse Community Centre)
If you can’t fill and deliver a shoebox, please consider donating an item / items from the shopping list and we will put together a care box with donations from you and others
