“I am delighted that we have won this prestigious award from the RSPCA. Winning the Community Animal Welfare Footprints scheme for the second year is a fantastic achievement for our staff. It recognises the high quality service that they provide in tackling the issue of stray dogs in the City and our commitment to animal welfare in general.”
