Pop into the shop and take a look at what they have in stock.
The shop is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm and on Saturdays from 9am to 12.30pm.
The staff are all unpaid volunteers and the profits are used by the Dolphin Coast SPCA in the care of lost, injured, abused, unwanted and abandoned animals.
With so many customers visiting the store each week, it is imperative to keep the steady stream of donations flowing. This can only be done with the help of the community.
Volunteer Maggie Anderson is appealing to the public to reach into their hearts and dig deep in their cupboards to restock the shelves.
