Pet lover topped off 2020 critters living ruff Jayson Howarth’s love for animals started with his two dogs but now he wants to help those less fortunate.
Pets & Animals by Stephen Nadin Animal lover Jayson Howarth ensured dogs and cats in his region had a treat-filled Christmas. The Woolworths Innisfail store manager, 27, teamed up with a non-profit animal shelter to bring Christmas cheer to the Queensland community. In charge of the store for just over a year, Mr Howarth has a love of animals thanks to his two dogs, Marshall, a golden retriever and a Jack Russell called Misty. There is a donation bin in the store for the Cassowary Coast Paws & Claws animal shelter. Before Christmas, Mr Howarth organised for Woolworths to top up contributions with $300 worth of treats and toys from the store.
