KIND-HEARTED staff at a Merry Hill pet store handed over more than £2,000 to help retired greyhounds.

Staff at Pets at Home, based at Merry Hill shopping centre, presented a cheque for £2,158.46 to the Hall Green Retired Greyhound Trust after raising the money during the store’s Santa Paws fundraising event in December.

The greyhound trust, which has kennels based at Wassell Grove Lane, near Hagley, works to find loving retirement homes for ex-racing greyhounds.
