WITH Christmas shopping now underway, a Merseyside animal welfare charity is urging people to donate what it calls the perfect gift – sponsoring some of the dogs currently in its care.
Dogs Trust Merseyside’s ‘Sponsor A Dog Scheme’ is described by a spokesperson for the rehoming centre as ‘a meaningful gift for the canine connoisseur in your life’.
Not only will you be supporting the charity to care for thousands of dogs each year, but when you ‘Sponsor A Dog’ you will receive a sponsorship pack including a photo certificate of your chosen dog, photo postcards, a window sticker and fridge magnet.
You will also receive updates from Toby three times a year – at Christmas, on Valentine’s Day and in the summer.
Currently, Dogs Trust has 21 dogs available for sponsorship. This includes lovely Lurcher Toby. Toby loves heading out on walks or for a run, but only if the sun is shining as he is not a fan of rain and wet pavements!
He is said to love squeaky toys and will happily entertain himself in his kennel. He likes to take his time to get to know people but once he does, he loves to be made a fuss of and adores having a cuddle.
Georgina Lowery, manager at Dogs Trust Merseyside, said: “We adore Toby and I am sure the dog lover in your life will too.
“By sponsoring a dog like Toby not only are you helping your chosen sponsor dog, but you are also helping us care for the hundreds of dogs being cared for within our 21 rehoming centres.
“The money raised through this scheme is vital in helping with all aspects of running our centre, from heating the kennels, providing treats and enrichment toys, training and behaviour support and any veterinary care required for our dogs.”
