Entertainments to enjoy include Rudolph’s Road Dog Game and a tombola stall, and there are tasty refreshments for dogs and humans alike.

But the star of the show is inevitably going to be Santa Paws.

There’s no entry fee, but to meet Mr Paws visitors are asked to bring along a present for one of the dogs at the centre.

A spokesperson said: “The dogs at the rehoming centre will be so grateful and will love the generosity and Christmas spiri - so come along and join in on some festive fun that the whole family can enjoy.”

The Rehoming centre is at Bentyhead, West Calder, EH55 8LE.

For more information about the event or any of the 50 dogs at the rehoming centre, contact the centre on 01506 873459.
