Big festive feed for animals

HOMELESS animals received nearly 8,000 meals for free this Christmas thanks to Stockport’s Pets at Home team.

Throughout December, the team collected donations to help provide meals for abandoned animals in and around the Stockport area, as part of the Santa Paws initiative run by the charity Support Adoption for Pets.

The Stockport team raised £3,879 thanks to the generosity of kind customers.

Stockport’s store manager, Julian Wood, said: “What a fantastic result! We had so much fun raising money and are so grateful to all of our generous customers for taking part and donating much-needed meals for disadvantaged animals.

“It’s great to know that this money will go towards helping some these charities to keep abandoned pets healthy and happy until they find a forever home.”

Across the UK, more than 430 Pets at Home stores took part in the scheme, raising over £1m.
