The Clymping Dog Sanctuary opened nearly 70 years ago and aims to find homes for any dogs brought through its doors, with staff making sure they are properly cared for in the meantime.
The sanctuary in Ford Road has asked people to donate gifts to the dogs via the Amazon wish list the charity has created.

“However, we wish they were not here and that they had families of their own to spoil them.
“We make sure every dog gets new toys and special treats. Of course they don’t know it’s Christmas but they love the fuss anyway.
“We have an Amazon wish list so people can send toys, treats and the all important essentials – perhaps they would like to do this in memory of a dog they have lost or just through their love of dogs.

The wish list consists of items such as dog treats, dog toys and comfy dog blankets.
Maxine added: “We have had our list up for a while and have regular bits coming in but we have updated it to put extra toys and treats on there and thick, snuggly blankets that we really need in winter.
“There are practical items on there too like special washing powder for their bedding and bin bags.
