Age UK North Shropshire Supporters is giving people the chance to repay their love for their cats and dogs with a photo competition.

Pets have given love and companionship to their owners during lockdown, and are being given their opportunity to be celebrated, while helping to raise funds for a good cause.

Anne Wignall, chairman of Age UK North Shropshire Supporters, said: “We hope lots of people will have fun sending us photos of their gorgeous cats and dogs.

"They will be supporting the work of Age UK in north Shropshire who has worked tirelessly during lockdown to help older people.”

The categories are: prettiest puppy or kitten; most beautiful dog or cat; pet most like their owner; best action shot and highest combined age of pet and owner.

Submit your pictures by Friday, September 18 at a donation of £2 each. For further information, head to www.facebook.com/AgeUKNSS/
