SPCA GALA
Dogs, Dogs, Dogs...... they were there in abundance at the SPCA fundraising gala held at the railway reserve. Each dog was an SPCA 'special" and they were indeed very special to their proud owners. They came in all shapes and sizes, some with pedigree papers but mostly a mixture of well-loved canines with plenty of novelty events to compete in, such as the most unusual, most obedient and best child's pet. Nearly $6000 was raised which will come in handy over the Christmas period when the SPCA have numerous call-outs and abandoned animals to deal with.
