Lanarkshire's Scottish SPCA centre is visited by Central Scotland MSP Monica Lennon

A Lanarkshire politician took the lead and 'paws-ed' for thought as she met some furry friends.

Monica Lennon MSP paid a visit to the Scottish SPCA Lanarkshire Centre in Hamilton to get up close with adorable rescue puppies.

She also met with rabbits, guinea pigs and even a boa constrictor.

The Scottish Labour and Co-operative Party representative then took to social media to urge others to consider rehoming a rescue pet and donate to Pet Aid to support the vital work of the SPCA.

Ms Lennon told Lanarkshire Live: "It was brilliant to see first-hand the vital work that Lanarkshire’s SPCA is doing to ensure animals in need are rescued, cared for and ultimately rehomed.

“It’s so important that we do our bit to protect Scotland’s animals and improve their lived experience either by rehoming a furry friend or supporting the SPCA by donating to Pet Aid.

“Thank you to Stacie and Lee-Ann for your hard work year-round and for allowing me to have some cuddle time with many adorable animals- it has definitely been the highlight of my week.”

Scottish SPCA Lanarkshire added: “We were thrilled to welcome Monica to our centre in Lanarkshire.

"Monica met pups, rabbits, a boa constrictor, guinea pigs and a great dane, Camilla.

“We’re so grateful for Monica’s support and for her raising awareness of Pet Aid and finding loving homes for our animals.”
