Pet shop customers raised hundreds of pounds for charity over Christmas.
Staff at Pets at Home in Purley Way, Waddon, raked in £883 through its 'Santa Paws' fundraising drive.
The store encouraged customers to donate money throughout December, with the cash being going to local animanl rescue and rehoming centres.
Teresa Abbott, the store's manager, said: "We can’t thank our customers enough for their generosity.
"This is the third year we have run the Santa Paws appeal and our customers have shown that that they are as generous as ever and share our passion for pets."
