Specsavers Ópticas in Calpe put out the call for food, blankets and toys for the dogs at Akira Animal Sanctuary in Benissa over the Christmas period and the animal loving community responded with great generosity.
Between mid-November and mid-January, they collected in store and this month they handed over the donations to grateful representatives of Akira. They collected; towels, blankets, two cooling blankets, dog leads, toys, medicine, approximately 75kg of dog food and €575 in cash donations.
Store Director Chantelle Hayward commented, “We’d like to say a massive thank you to all our generous clients and local residents who came in with donations over the Christmas period. These donations will really help Akira to continue to care for the dogs. Thanks to everyone who gave cash donations when they had their free eye test – what an amazing result!”
