An animal charity is asking Glaswegians to fundraise on Halloween weekend.

Volunteers are being sought to support the Scottish SPCA by raising funds at

Pets at Home stores from Friday to Sunday, October 28 to 30.

Sharon Meiklejohn Scottish SPCA senior community fundraiser, said: “We’re calling out to all of animal lovers with a bit of spare time during the Halloween weekend to get in touch. With support from our Halloween helpers, we’ll be able to rescue animals in danger and distress, find animals new homes, investigate cruelty, help take people responsible for abuse and neglect to court and prevent cruelty through our free education programme for Scottish schools.

“We’ll also provide all volunteers with their very own fundraising pack with everything they need to take part. Volunteers may even wish to get into the Halloween fundraising spirit by dressing up as their favourite animal and they can even bring a canine companion along.

“As a charity that receives no government or lottery funding, we rely entirely on donations to continue our work rescuing and rehoming thousands of animals in Scotland each year.”
