Missing cat, Moffat🐈‍⬛

Please contact the number on the poster if you have any information

Hope, Lorraine and Julie took part in the Lockerbie gala fun run yesterday as part of their training for the 10k Cancer research race for life 💙🤍
They will be joined by 4 other colleagues in July to take on the challenge. Some of the group had never run properly before signing up, so it’s going to be a real challenge for them!🏃🏻‍♀️
They are hoping to raise vital funds for a disease which affects so many, they hope they can help make a small difference.
If you would like to get behind them and encourage them through the 10k run, they would be very grateful for a small donation.🎁
If you see any of them hobbling round work on the Monday, don’t be too alarmed!

Pet travel to Northern Ireland update🛂

From the 4th June you will no longer need an Animal health certificate (AHC), a rabies vaccination or tapeworm treatment. 📄💉

Going forwards you will need to apply for a Northern Ireland pet travel document (PTD) for cats, dogs and ferrets. 🐶🐱
Your pet must be microchipped and you can apply here - https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-northern-ireland-pet-travel-document.
It’s a one off application for the lifetime of the pet while they remain in your ownership, but you do need a separate PTD for each pet. If you are onwards travelling, you will need to apply for different documents.

For more information have a look here - https://www.gov.uk/taking-your-pet-abroad/travelling-to-northern-ireland?

Take your pet dog, cat or ferret abroad: getting a pet passport or export health certificate, microchip, vaccinations and tapeworm treatments.
