RSPCA Awareness week has certainly been hectic. It all began with Leader of the Opposition Will Hodgman launching the week for us and he was well supported by long time RSPCA supporter and member of the ALP Graeme Sturges. We also had Jo Lonergan from the RSPCA Hobart Vet Clinic with us and her dogs and my Millie modelled our new ‘Adopt Me’ coats for the media. The coats are now available and we thank Anchor wetsuits for helping us in producing them.
During the week we also received media coverage about cat desexing, an important message to keep pushing out to the broader community with kitten season almost upon us.
The week ended with Happy Tails Day. We rely heavily on community support to carry out our work, but
Happy Tails Day also raises awareness and hopefully encourages more people to become involved with RSPCA and learn about what we do.
At the time of writing fundraising tally is not complete, but I think from all accounts it was a successful day right around the state. I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank all that volunteered to ‘rattle cans’ and sell merchandise.
