DOGS Trust resident Roxy the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, enjoyed perusing the aisles of her local Pets at Home branch thanks to the kindness of the VIP Club members.

Thanks to VIP Club members, six-year old Roxy and her canine carer friend Nickie Wilson of the Evesham branch, had £1,000 of VIP Lifelines to spend on anything her and her four-legged friends needed.

From squeaky toys to soft beds and fluffy blankets to fine treats, Roxy made sure she led her carer to all the best bits in-store.

Chris Slight, Dogs Trust Evesham rehoming centre manager, said: "The generosity of the Pets at Home VIP Club Members will make such a difference to all the dogs in our care at the moment.

"We endeavour to make our rehoming centre a home from home whilst the dogs wait to meet their new families so we like to fill it with lots of home comforts like comfy blankets or their favourite toys.

"After this shopping trip we’re going to be spoilt for choice. On behalf of all the dogs, a huge waggy-tailed thank you.”

Clint Vaughan, Evesham Pets at Home store manager, added: "We loved having Roxy come and visit the store, she was a very determined shopper, wanting only the best for her and the dogs at the rehoming centre and her very full trolley looks like she found lots to delight them all.

"Our VIP Club Members have responded really positively to be able to donate lifelines to their chosen charities, so we’re hoping this will be the first of many visits from Dogs Trust residents."
