Last night at the GSPCA the second Animal Care and Welfare Course saw another 15 graduates.
The Monday night course that started back in January has taken 8 weeks and covered a wealth of topics in caring for animals and working with them.
Last night Sarah, Sue, Siriol, Carolyn, Marilyn, Michelle, Andrew, Simon, Craig, Lisa, Hannah, Zoe, Mandy and John had their last session which covered grooming and coat care. We also recapped the 8 weeks and had a Q and A followed by a presentation of certificates.
Due to demand the GSPCA and WEA have teamed up once more to run the third Animal Care and Welfare course at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
