Shake a tin to help animals

ANIMAL lovers across the Lothians are being urged to help raise funds to care for abused, abandoned and injured animals.

The Scottish SPCA is seeking fundraising volunteers to support Scottish Animal Week on September 6-12.

Edinburgh and Lothians Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre manager Diane Stewart said: "Last year our centre cared for 1,046 animals. Even if someone can only spare an hour or two to shake a collection tin, their help would be greatly appreciated."
