It’s a day: to celebrate animal life in all its forms to celebrate humankind’s relationship with the animal kingdom to acknowledge the diverse roles that animals play in our lives – from being our companions, supporting and helping us, to bringing a sense of wonder into our lives to acknowledge and be thankful for the way in which animals enrich our lives To celebrate World Animal Day we are offering free shelter tours for the entire month of October. The tours will take place at our Newtown animal centre and it’s a great opportunity to for anyone interested in getting a behind-the-scenes look into what we do, learn more about Wellington SPCA and of course, spend some time with our animals. Bookings are essential as places will fill quicky, so please call Jennifer Rizzi on 04 389 8044 or email her on jenniferr@wellingtonspca.org.nz.
