During the school breaks we are running a series of guided tours at the GSPCA.
All week the tours have been extremely popular and today and tomorrow are the last two dates for July.
This is your opportunity to visit behind the scenes at our Animal Shelter in St Andrews and see the work being carried out for the new build.
You also get the chance to see the outside of the new multi purpose animal welfare unit.
The guided tours are at 2pm and we have additional dates in August.
We ask for a minimum donation of £5 per person and £3 per child, or £15 for a family of four.
The tours take around 80 minutes and you get to see in many of the departments and a variety of species.
Tours are a maximum of 15 people per tour, so please book early.
Some of the animals you will have the chance to see will be cats, rabbits, birds, hedgehogs, dogs looking for homes, some of the other wildlife and Pepper the turkey.
