The Scottish SPCA is appealing to kind hearted people across Scotland to fundraise this September at their local Pets at Home store.

Volunteers are urgently being sought to support Scotland’s animal welfare charity by raising funds at their local Pets at Home store from Friday 14 to Sunday 16 September.

Diane Aitchison, Manager at the Scottish SPCA’s centre in Balerno said, “We’re calling out to all animal lovers with a bit of spare time from 14 – 16 September to get in touch.

“With your support we’ll be able to rescue animals in danger and distress, find animals new homes, investigate cruelty, help take people responsible for abuse and neglect to court and prevent cruelty through our free education programme for Scottish schools.

“We’ll also provide all volunteers with their very own fundraising pack with everything they need to take part.

“As a charity that receives no government or lottery funding, we rely entirely on donations to continue our work rescuing and rehoming thousands of animals in Scotland each year.”

To volunteer or for more information on Scottish SPCA fundraising events please email fundraising@scottishspca.org, call 03000 999 999 (opt 4) or visit www.scottishspca.org/petsathome
