“Last year our centre rehomed over 1,162 animals and we have already found a new home for over 513 this year – so we really need the support of the public more than ever.

“As an animal welfare charity, we receive no government or lottery funding and rely on the generosity of animal lovers to continue our vital work.”

The open day at the centre on Bothwell Road, Hamilton ML3 0SB, runs from 1pm to 4pm.
