A DOG show was held at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ (RSPCA) centre in Colwyn Bay last weekend.

The show took place at the Bryn-y-Maen Animal Centre, in Upper Colwyn Bay on Sunday, May 21 between 11am and 3pm.

In particular, dogs Flora and Berty got an amazing reception, but the centre is still looking for a new home for them.

RSPCA Bryn-y-Maen animal care supervisor, Callum Bartley, said: "It was a fantastic day to see so many people at the centre for our annual dog show.

“There were probably around 300 people in attendance, and the sun showed up, too!

“We had a wonderful time meeting everyone and their dogs and would like to thank each and every person for coming along and supporting us."

The centre looks after pets before rehoming them, with the RSPCA as a whole recording a 25 per cent rise in the number of abandonment incidents being dealt with by its rescue teams across England and Wales in 2022.

Situated in the countryside, it has 30 kennels, 36 cat pens, 18 rabbit pods and four ferret pods, as well as room for small animals, farm animals and wildlife.

It provides specialist care for domestic and farm animals, and also looks after injured wildlife before its release or transfer to one of the RSPCA's four wildlife centres.
