YOU can now visit crossbreed Smokey and the hundreds of other animals at RSPCA Southridge Animal Centre later in the evening on Thursdays.

The South Mimms centre is now open until 7.30pm on Thursdays throughout the summer.

Centre manager Anna White said: "We appreciate there are lots of people who are unable to visit us during our normal opening hours of 11am until 4.15pm and we know lots of them want to adopt a rescue animal and would be good owners, so we want to give them the chance to visit us later."

Anna added: "We at Southridge want to do everything we can to maximise the chances of our animals getting good homes.

"After all, that's what we're here for."

The centre is open every day, except Wednesdays.
