A pet store is hosting a "heartwarming" event to help dogs in shelters.

Healthy Pet Store, in Salisbury Road, Totton, is holding its second annual KONG Stuff-a-thon on Sunday, April 6.

The event is to celebrate KONG Day and aims to provide enrichment and treats for dogs in local shelters.

The event is free and open to the public, and will run from 10am to 4pm.

People are encouraged to visit the store and help fill KONG toys with nutritious treats, including fruit, vegetables, cheese, meats, and pastes.

These will be frozen and delivered to shelters the next day.

Deborah Burrows, managing director of Healthy Pet Store, said: "We’re really excited about holding this event for the second time.

"This exciting initiative provides a unique opportunity for the community to come together, have fun, and do something good at the same time."
