Last updated 13th Jun 2023
A pet charity shop says it'll be closed for the foreseeable following a blaze last weekend.
PDSA is one of the shops impacted by the South Bridge fire that broke out on Saturday 3rd June.
Fortunately, they could confirm all the staff and volunteers are safe following the events.
PDSA is the UK’s largest veterinary charity that aims to prevent the suffering of pets whilst relieving the financial costs on families and communities.
The vet charity is now calling on local supporters to visit their neighbouring charity shop, located on Nicolson Street.
Fiona Lawrie, Cluster Shop Manager at PDSA said: “Our South Bridge shop only opened last October but it’s quickly become home to a wonderful team of staff and volunteers, as well as many local supporters, and we are very thankful that no one was hurt in the fire.
“We’re waiting to assess the damage, which means we don’t know when we’ll be able to re-open. But we’re hoping the local community will continue to support us by visiting the nearby Nicolson Street shop to help raise funds for local poorly pets.”
