‘Santa Paws’ is Coming to Town: Birmingham Dogs Home announces fundraising events calendar
Birmingham Dogs Home has announced two ‘Santa Paws’ themed Christmas fundraising events to raise money for its homeless dogs across the West Midlands this Christmas and beyond.
The charity, which cares for over 2000 dogs every year, is hosting ‘Santa Paws’ this festive season, who will be dropping by both the Birmingham and Wolverhampton centres this month and next to spread some Christmas cheer far and wide and help raise much needed funds for Birmingham Dogs Home.
Join the charity for a fun, magical day out for all the family including your furry friend at the Santa Paws and Craft Fayre in support of homeless dogs on Saturday, November 22 and Saturday, December 6 in Wolverhampton and Birmingham respectively.
As part of the day, you and your family or furry friend will be able to meet Santa himself and his elves who will be spreading Christmas cheer to all. Along with special gifts for both visiting dogs and children, guests can also get a memento of the occasion with a professionally taken digital photo courtesy of the talented Jennifer Jeffries.
The ‘Meet Santa’ experience is open to both pups and the little ones, making it the perfect opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime.
The fun doesn’t stop after meeting Santa, too. Adults can visit the Craft Fayre at either event, which will boast a range of shopping stalls perfect for finding that special Christmas gift for loved ones while children can write their letters to Santa or take part in exciting craft activities. There’s also a range of refreshments and a delicious food stall for afterwards.
Tickets start from £10 per dog or child and special family ticket packages are also available to ensure everyone can join in on the festive fun. All proceeds go to Birmingham Dogs Home. Purchase them online using the links below.

As part of its commitment to ensuring the dogs in its care have the best possible Christmas, Birmingham Dogs Home is also hosting a ‘Christmas dinner’ for its dogs in early December, with people urged to support the cause by buying a homeless dog their dinner for £5. In collaboration with Birmingham-based marketing agency Leopard Co, the campaign hopes to raise awareness, and crucially, funds, for the animals in Birmingham Dogs Home’s care, and ensure nobody goes without a dinner this Christmas.
And the festivities don’t stop there. The charity is also hosting its annual Boxing Day walk with the Rotary Club of Sutton on 26th December, and bringing back its popular ‘Christmas tags’ giving campaign – where donors can create a special gift for ones of the dogs in Birmingham Dogs Home’s care.
