Earlier today Amy and her 9 friends came up to the GSPCA for a Birthday guided tour.

Amy who has just turned 11 years of age asked her mum earlier in the year if she could have a tour at the GSPCA with her friends as part of her birthday.

At the Shelter we kindly obliged and for a donation of £50 Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager took the group around earlier today.

From seeing Wee Billy a young hedgehog to meeting the tortoise, stroking Monkey a diabetic cat to smelling the ferrets the girls all had a lovely day.
