Dogs Trust Shrewsbury hosts its annual Christmas Fayre

Staff at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury are feeling festive and getting into the Christmas spirit this year by hosting the centre’s annual Christmas Fayre on Sunday 25th November. The festive fun starts at 11.00am at the Rehoming Centre on Roden Lane Farm and finishes at 3.00pm.

Highlights of the day include a doggy Santa’s grotto where gifts for humans and hounds will be handed out. There will be lots of Christmas stalls, seasonal refreshments and Christmas gifts available to buy at the centre including cards, handmade crafts and stocking fillers.

Anyone able to make a festive donation is encouraged to bring along dog food and toys which will be delivered to the dogs on Christmas morning by dedicated canine carers who kindly give up their Christmas to care for the dogs. All this festive fun will get you in the spirit of Christmas, and most importantly, help raise pounds for the hounds!

Louise Campbell, Manager at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury said:

“If you’re looking for a fun day out and a great opportunity to buy some original gifts for friends, family and pets then look no further than the Dogs Trust Shrewsbury Christmas Fayre. Not only will you get your Christmas shopping done but you’ll know that your money is going towards helping us care for the wonderful dogs at the centre.”

If you would like to visit the Christmas Fayre, admission is free. Pop into Dogs Trust Shrewsbury, Roden Lane Farm, Telford, Shropshire, TF6 6BPwww.dogstrust.org.uk
