Ireland’s largest pet retailer, Maxi Zoo will make Christmas extra special, not only for pampered pets but also for less fortunate animals that are without a home. Maxi Zoo is inviting the public to drop into their local Maxi Zoo store throughout the month of December and support their Shelter Wishes charity campaign.
Each of Maxi Zoo’s 22 stores around Ireland has selected its own Shelter Wishes animal charity which has compiled a wish list for the animals in its care. Generous animal lovers and Maxi Zoo customers can support the campaign by choosing which gift to donate and place under the store’s Shelter Wishes Christmas Tree.
Charities that will benefit from Maxi Zoo’s Shelter Wishes campaign this year include: Bears Paw it Forward, DAWG, Limerick Feral Cats, Fairyglen Community Animal Sanctuary, Dogs Angels, North Dublin Cat Rescue, Cara Dog Rescue, Great Hounds, My Lovely Horse, Lucky’s cat Rescue, KWSPCA, Fingal SPCA, Hug, WildLife West Rescue and Sera Husky & Animal Rescue.
Each charity involved will collect the donated gifts from Maxi Zoo stores on Christmas Eve, ensuring that animals less fortunate are not forgotten this Christmas.
Anthony Cremin, Marketing Manager at Maxi Zoo said: “Everyone – people and animals alike deserve a special treat at Christmas and at Maxi Zoo we are conscious that there are many animals out there that sadly don’t have a home to enjoy and share in the warmth, love and happiness that Christmas brings. Our Shelter Wishes campaign spares a thought for these animals and is our way to help ‘pay it forward’ during this special time of giving.”
