Press Officer Georgina Petty explained "This was a fantastic opportunity
to promote responsible ownership and support credit crunched cats. We
were pleased with the response. We did however have distressing
incidents where two cats were found to have been ID chipped already. If
you find a cat and take it home, please take it to a vets first where
the cat can be scanned for an ID chip. You can also contact us as we
have scanners. The vets have access to the ID chip databases where they
can check the owners contact details. Make sure you update your cats ID
chip details if you move or there is a change of owner"
Saturday July 9th RSPCA Dog Show
Goole RSPCA had a fantastic response from local dog lovers and their
four legged friends at a packed Fun Dog Show last weekend. There was fun
for all the family with a model train ride, ice creams, childrens games
and various stalls to browse around in the sunshine. A demonstration
from a dog behaviourist and the ever popular dog class heats including a
best in show trophy for the overall winner, entertained everyone.
Former Goole and Brigg MP Ian Cawsey, now a political advisor for animal
charity WSPA compered and judged the Dog Show. Vermuyden Veterinary
staff were also in attendance to help judge the heats.
Goole RSPCA Press Officer Georgina Petty said "The final total isn't in
yet but we know that we have raised a lot more than last year which is
fantastic. Thank you to all the judges, stall holders, dogs and their
two legged friends. Of course a big thank you to all the hard working
Goole RSPCA volunteers for helping to put on such a great event. We hope
to see more pooches at the Dog Walk on Sunday 21st August at the
Waterways Museum"
