The event will be held at the Inclusive Play Space at Victoria Park on Monday 16 December between 4 – 6pm, and will include a free BBQ at the Lions Club.
The Shelter is encouraging all those who have adopted dogs to bring along their four-legged friends, while those who have adopted cats and bunnies to bring photos and videos of their beloved new family member.
This special event aims to celebrate and thank all those adoptees who have welcomed pets from the Shelter into their homes.
