Colwyn Bay will ‘always hold place in my heart’ says departing manager

They include classes for puppies, a golden oldie class (seven years plus), happiest dog and rescue dog of the year - among others.

There will also be stalls from vendors, a raffle, a tombola, and VIP tours of the centre for visitors to learn more about the RSPCA’s work and pre-loved pet goods for sale.

Centre manager Vicky Williams said: “Our annual dog show is always one of those days we always look forward to every year. 

“It is a fantastic chance for owners to socialise their dogs with others and take part in classes while giving a chance to our supporters and visitors to find out more about what we do at the centre.

“We also always look forward to the ‘rescue dog of the year’ competition with dogs being entered on the day.

“We hope that once again people come along to our fun event which will celebrate dogs of all shapes and sizes and also help to raise funds for the centre, too!”

There are a large number of animals at the centre looking for forever homes after being taken into care by the RSPCA.

One of its current long-stay residents is Apollo, who has been awaiting his own forever home for some time.

Apollo was one of 10 puppies brought into RSPCA care with their mum in a poor state.

After they were weaned away from mum, everyone but Apollo – a Belgian Shepherd - was rehomed.

He would need an adult-only household and would not be able to live with a cat or small furry animals.

You can find out more about Apollo on his “Find A Pet” page.
