Homeless dogs will enjoy a Christmas dinner thanks to kind-hearted Nantwich students.

The animal management students at Reaseheath College were so touched by the plight of the 350 unwanted dogs and puppies they organised a collection.

They donated dog food, treats, toys and blankets and made sure gifts were delivered in time for the festive season to charity Animal Lifeline.

The idea came from animal management instructor Emma Hunt, who visited the charity while looking for her own dog.

Emma said: “Animal Lifeline has saved more that 10,000 dogs and puppies, doesn’t have dogs put down unless on veterinary advice and keeps some dogs permanently if they cannot be re-homed.

“I think they do such an amazing job that I was keen to support the charity and the students were very keen to join in.”

Pat Lawton, who runs Animal Lifeline, said: “I am extremely grateful for the support which Reaseheath College has given us.

“I am sure the dogs themselves will be very pleased with their gifts and will have a more enjoyable Christmas because of them.”

Animal Lifeline and Reaseheath worked together after the rescue of eight puppies found dumped in a box in a Stoke-on-Trent cemetery.

Reaseheath course manager Emma Caskie helped nurse the puppies back to health and were cared for by students as well.

Now thriving, they have been returned to Animal Lifeline for rehoming.

For details phone the rehoming line on 01782 638341.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
