Once again the GSPCA have teamed up with the WEA to provide a course in animal care.
The new course is an 'Introduction to Animal Care and Welfare' and gives a taste of working in the many different departments at the GSPCA whilst learning about animal care, behaviour and a hands on experience.
The course is a 2 day workshop and for those taking part we would kindly ask that you have a basic knowledge in animal care.
The main topics covered and experienced will be:
Last Wednesday the GSPCA welcomed 14 new volunteers to the Animal Shelter and on Sunday another 3 keen cat lovers were taught about cat first aid.
Sarah Creasey the Animal Education and Welfare Officer inducted 14 new volunteers who were keen to help in all sorts of ways from fund raising to mucking out.
The evening consisted of introductions, all about the GSPCA, health and safety and the areas that those that attended can help here at the GSPCA.
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.
With the number of bank holidays and to give those who have a busy Monday evening we have moved this 8 week course to a Tuesday evening (breaks on the 1st and 25th April)
