Welcome a Pet in Rehoming Week
The motion
That the Parliament supports the work of the Scottish SPCA; welcomes its Rehoming Week, taking place from 19 to 25 March 2012, which appeals to Scots to consider giving a rescue pet a second chance by offering a loving home; celebrates that, in 2011, the charity found new homes for nearly 6,500 animals from its animal rescue and rehoming centres across Scotland, ranging from dogs, cats and rabbits to other pets such as terrapins, bearded dragons, horses and cockerels; considers that, while taking on an animal is a great responsibility, there are many benefits to rehoming unwanted, abandoned or neglected animals, and encourages people across Scotland who may be interested in giving a needy pet a home to visit one of the Scottish SPCA’s centres to meet the animals for themselves.
