Carlow pet store to donate Christmas gifts to the animals at Cara Rescue Dogs

Carlow pet store, Maxi Zoo Carlow, are donating Christmas gifts to Cara Rescue Dogs, to make the festive season special for the animals in its care. 

This comes as part of Maxi Zoo Ireland's Shelter Wishes campaign for the month of December, which will see twenty-nine animal charities across fifteen counties benefit.
