Monday 25th September – FAMILY OPEN DAY
These sessions are open to everyone, and all ages are welcome.
Including a guided tour and a look behind the scenes, which can be a great way to learn more about our shelter and its operations.
You will also have the opportunity to create enrichment items for shelter residents, which is a fantastic way to contribute and make a positive impact. Enrichment items can help enhance the well-being and mental stimulation of the animals, making their stay at the shelter more comfortable and enjoyable. It's an opportunity to get creative and provide something special for the animals.
If you would like to have your stuffed animals "microchipped" and receive a certificate, you can certainly take advantage of this opportunity by paying an additional $5 fee. It could be a fun and unique keepsake for collectors or for children who want to have a special memento from their visit to the shelter.
