Trusty Paws Clinic<br />
The Trusty Paws Clinic is a new non-profit organisation set<br />
up by Glasgow Veterinary student Ruby Shorrock in March<br />
2014. It is a free clinic for dogs belonging to the homeless<br />
of Glasgow providing health checks, vaccinations, flea/<br />
worming treatment and microchips as well as food packs<br />
and dog coats.<br />
Trusty Paws has teamed up with a charity, The Glasgow<br />
Simon Community, which has over 40 years experience in<br />
helping the homeless. The clinics run out of their drop-in<br />
centre every month, and have got off to a great start! Whilst Trusty Paws helps with<br />
the dogs, The Simon Community can help the people with their benefits.<br />
The clinics are run by a team of Glasgow vet students so they gain valuable<br />
experience which will benefit them during their course and throughout their career.<br />
They carry out all the examinations themselves under the supervision of a vet.<br />
Trusty Paws runs entirely on public donations of money and supplies. You can<br />
donate via PayPal (trustypaws@outlook.com) or bank transfer. Visit www.facebook.<br />

Royalheart Greyhound<br />
Rescue<br />
The Royalheart<br />
Greyhound Rescue<br />
based at the<br />
Finalystone Estate<br />
Langbank have<br />
bins in Tesco Port<br />
Glasgow, both Lidls<br />
in Inverclyde, as well<br />
as the Cooperative<br />
in Greenock and the<br />
Nationwide Building<br />
Society to allow people<br />
to donate bedding, tins<br />
of food or towels over<br />
the winter.<br />
Tesco in PG have<br />
allowed the rescue to<br />
keep the bin in the shop since last year, and this has really helped<br />
the rescue, which has allowed the funds collected to be used to<br />
save other dogs from pounds and other bad situations.<br />
Inverclyde MP Iain McKEnzie, has recently been campaigning to<br />
stop dog racing down at Westminster and wanted to come along<br />
and promote the rescues winter campaign and also donated a lot<br />
of food for the bin.<br />
Royalheart are still looking for people to help with walking the<br />
dogs and fundraising. Anyone who can help can contact them via<br />
their facebook page.
