Father Christmas has taken time out of his busy schedule to hold a special grotto and meet some of Ceredigion's dogs.

Three 'Santa Paws' grottos were held in Y Talbot in Tregaron throughout December in a bid to raise money for Alpet Poundies Rescue.

In total, 60 dogs were seen by the man in red and more than £600 raised for the animal rescue charity based near Llandysul.

The event was orgainsed by Tregaron dog groomer, Joanne Rumming, who runs Jo's Dog Shedd.

Joanne said: "It's good to be jolly and even our dogs should enjoy the festive season.

"Hopefully [the money raised] will help some rescue dogs.

"Thank you to all that visited santa paws

"And a massive thank you to the Y Talbot, Tregaron for allowing us to set up the grotto there.

"Also thank you to Siop Gacennau Gwen for the doggie biscuits."
