Christmas tree for dogs
A Umina pet shop has its own Christmas wishing tree ... for dogs.
Paws on the Coast has set up a Doggie Rescue Wishing Tree to support rescue dogs from Monika's Doggie Rescue Shelter in Sydney.
The store is seeking donations of dog treats, food, flea products, beds and other items for dogs.
Store owner Ms Jody McKinnon said the donations would ensure needy and unwanted dogs at Monika's Doggie Rescue Shelter felt loved this Christmas.
"Donations will also help Monika's team to rescue more dogs from death row in pounds and shelters during Christmas and the New Year," Ms McKinnon said.
"This Christmas we urge people not to buy pets on impulse.
"They are a big decision that comes with a life-time commitment."
