ANIMAL lovers in Galashiels are being appealed to lend a paw and volunteer at the PDSA.

The branch on Channel Street, has launched an appeal for willing volunteers to help raise vital funds for sick and injured pets.

PDSA Assistant Shop Manager, Robert Russell said: “We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers who are passionate about pets and who can lend a hand at our shop. Volunteering for PDSA is fun and the skills you learn look great on any CV, plus you get to meet new people and make some friends along the way. 

"No previous retail experience is needed, as full training is provided for all new volunteers. So if you would like to help sick and injured pets, why not join our friendly volunteer team here at the Galashiels PDSA shop?”
