Beautiful Belle, an eight-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback cross, proved to be a model companion for Miss Teen Edinburgh Galaxy when she visited the Scottish SPCA’s Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Lanarkshire.
Shanden Hill is preparing to represent Edinburgh at the national final of Miss Teen Galaxy 2017 on Friday and visited the centre to give a generous donation after completing a sponsored walk around Strathclyde Park.
The 15-year-old student came to the centre where she met the staff and some of the amazing animals who are looking for a new home.
Peter Fleming, manager of the centre in Lanarkshire said, “We would like to wish Shanden all the best for the forthcoming competition.
“We’re delighted to receive this kind donation.
“As an animal welfare charity we receive no government or lottery funding so we rely entirely on the support of the public.
“Without these donations we would not be able to continue our vital work rescuing and rehoming abandoned and unwanted animals in Scotland.”
The grand final of Miss Teen Galaxy is being held from 9 – 12 March 2017 at Park Hall Hotel in Lancashire.
If you can offer Belle a new home please contact our centre in Lanarkshire on 03000 999 999.
