These incredible rescue dogs were part of the Cairnryan rescue earlier this year, they have found their perfect families and are already spreading festive cheer. ✨ Bailey can’t wait for a frosty Christmas Day walk in the woods—his absolute favourite place!

Santa is bringing them both brand-new coats for their adventures! 🐾 Skye is counting down to Christmas with her very own doggy advent calendar, lovingly opened by her family. She’s ready for her stocking stuffed with treats, a cozy jacket, and a soft toy to enjoy on Christmas morning.

Charities don’t stop just because it’s Christmas. And many of their services are more in demand than any other time of year. That’s why we’ve awarded six charities with an additional £2.2 million in funding raised by People's Postcode Lottery players. Trussell, Mind, Hospice UK, Young Lives vs Cancer, RSPCA and Scottish SPCA are already supported by players. And this December the extra support will help deliver a happier Christmas for those most in need, bringing the funding total for all six charities in 2024 to £7 million. Watch the moment the surprise news was delivered to the organisations by our ambassador Matt Johnson.

🚨 Rabbits abandoned in a recycling bin in Ayr 🚨 We’re urgently reminding the public that abandoning animals is never the answer. Last week, two male rabbits were cruelly dumped in a recycling bin behind a retail park in Ayr—one found each week by bin collectors. We understand how difficult this time of year can be but there is no excuse to abandon an animal. There are always other options. If you’re struggling to care for your pet, please reach out for help. Abandonment is not the solution. #ScottishSPCA #AnimalWelfare #AdoptDontShop #RescueProtectLead
