A South Cumbrian canine lover is hoping to assist homeless hounds have a paw-sitively wonderful Christmas by internet hosting a Santa Paws grotto at her home all through December.
Laura Curtis, of Dalton-in-Furness, is establishing the cosy Christmas stop-off outdoors her Market Street home and from Friday, is inviting passers-by and their four-legged mates inside to take a festive picture in return for donating to Dogs Trust, which has a centre in Penrith.
In the week operating as much as Christmas and on Christmas Day, visiting furry mates will have the ability to have some festive enjoyable by sniffing out a particular current for themselves.
Laura, 35, mentioned: “I completely adore dogs and have two, which I can’t think about residing with out. To suppose that many dogs don’t have households of their very own and gained’t be spending Christmas in a loving home is de facto unhappy, so I wished to do one thing enjoyable for dogs and their house owners while elevating money to assist Dogs Trust give their dogs every little thing they want all year long, not simply at Christmas.
“I have bought around 100 presents so wrapping them has been a mammoth task, but it will be worth it to see lots of waggy tails and smiling faces and know that dogs without a home are benefiting too.”
Dogs Trust Cumbria opened in January final 12 months and due to a community of foster carers has gone on to search out ceaselessly properties for greater than 400 dogs in want.
Lisa Spence, supervisor at Dogs Trust Cumbria, mentioned: “This is such a beautiful thought. Laura will carry pleasure to native dogs while serving to others which are much less lucky than them. The incontrovertible fact that she is fundraising on Christmas Day itself too is wonderful.
“We always make sure our dogs have a very special Christmas, but we can only do what we do all year round because of incredible people like Laura. We want to say a huge thank you to her and all the Dalton-in-Furness dogs and owners that support her over the next few weeks.”
