As the festive season draws nears, many of us are looking forward to some time to slow down and celebrate the resilience of the human spirit. 2020 has been a harrowing year - but not just for people. Our furry friends were just as hard hit, with SPCAs and animal shelters around the country bursting at the seams with unwanted, lost or neglected dogs and cats.
This holiday edition of IOL Pets, our final for the year, is packed with wonderful ideas on how to spoil your fur babies this Christmas, where to take them on holiday, what special gifts to get them - but it also focuses on sparing a thought for the not-so-fortunate this Christmas - animals, in shelters. We implore you to put on your best Santa Paws hat and donate time, money or items needed by shelters around the country as they try to bring joy to animals without families.
