Angus the RSPCA Puppy Visits GAP

Notice: This article is kept for historical reference. Some details may be outdated.

The GAP children were very excited to meet Angus the puppy, who visited us with the RSPCA’s Education Officer today.   We learned about what the RSPCA does, how we can care for our pets, how to approach dogs who don’t know us, and some of us got to pat Angus on his shoulder where he was most comfortable.

The children helped to come up with a list of things that we can make and collect in order to help Angus and his animal friends at the RSPCA.  Over the coming weeks, we will collect old towels for the shelter, bake homemade dog biscuits, and craft enrichment toys out of egg cartons, cardboard rolls and little dog treats.  These will be delivered to the RSPCA in September.

Thanks to the committee for organising this as one of our Community Giving events this year.
