Canine First Aid

Leah McClung

Being involved in the care and rehabilitation of wild, domestic and farm animals working for the SSPCA would be the ideal career for me. I am from a farming family and have grown up with a deep love of the countryside and all animals. I would be committed to the best care of any animal and am aware that there is not always a happy outcome when dealing with sick or injured animals.
