The Gozo SPCA has signed up as a Welfare Associate with The Blue Cross. The two organisations are now working together to set up a neutering programme for pets in Gozo, which is being substantially funded by The Blue Cross.

The Blue Cross is famous as Britain's pet charity, helping thousands of sick and homeless pets and horses across the UK every year.

Originally known as Our Dumb Friends' League, the charity was established in 1897 by a group of animal lovers to care for working horses on the streets of London.

Today, the Blue Cross runs 11 animal adoption centres that take in and find new homes for thousands of homeless and unwanted pets every year. Three equine centres provide rehabilitation, re-homing and retirement for over a hundred horses and ponies every year.

Blue Cross veterinary services include four animal hospitals, welfare vet clinics around the country and a Veterinary Care Fund that offers grants to help the pets of people who cannot afford private vets' fees.

Additionally, The Blue Cross supports a number of Welfare Associates; organisations whose aims are similar to their own. Now they are delighted to welcome Gozo SPCA as the eighth small animal associate and the third overseas associate, the SPCA said yesterday.
