This weekend we are extremely busy at the GSPCA and we are calling any of our amazing volunteers with any time to help.
From helping with our busy ambulance service to walking dogs, our full cattery to our packed rabbit and small animal department, over 100 hedgehogs to over 30 reptiles, gardening to helping on reception.
All trained volunteers need to do is pop in and the team will have plenty for you to do and a huge thanks in advance.

Over the Summer we have been appealing for volunteers to help in many areas and one of those has been helping with the grounds and gardening.
At the end of July we had a lovely team made up of Jo Hardill with her son Jake Hardill and his 2 cousins visiting from Glasgow.
The team of 4 were a huge help weeding, sweeping and thanks to all their hard work had a mini tour with Tim Pellett GSPCA Community and Training Officer.
Tim said “It was lovely to meet Jo, Jake and his young cousins.”
