We love to hear how the animals are doing which were adopted from the GSPCA and this week we hear about Harry the yorkie.

Harrys owner said “It is 9 months since we adopted Harry. He has settled in really well.”

“He has 2 or 3 walks a day, we built up gradually from short to now an hour long in the afternoon.”

“He is very affectionate, sleeps most of the night on our bed, the rest in his bed.”

“He has much improved in attitude to other dogs, with the help of a few treats!”

“We are very happy with him and he with us.”
