The Scottish SPCA is delighted to invite animal lovers in the Edinburgh area to their centre on Mansfield Road, Balerno EH14 7JU on Sunday 10th September to celebrate their tenth annual Scottish Animal Week!

Scotland’s animal welfare charity will have a number of events on at the centre on the day including £10 microchipping and a raffle, which includes prizes from Petplanet, Calzeat and more!

Edinburgh Centre Manager Diane Aitchsion said, “We’re really looking forward to the open day and would love to see as many animal lovers as possible!

“We’re inviting the public to come along to meet the animals at our centre and the staff who care for them.

“Last year our centre rehomed nearly 590 animals and we have already found a new home for 250 animals this year so we really need the support of the public more than ever.

“As an animal welfare charity, we receive no government or lottery funding and rely on the generosity of animal lovers to continue our vital work.”

Anyone interested in the Scottish Animal Week open day should head over to the centre in Edinburgh 12 – 4pm on Sunday 10 September.
