Clam shell pool

Anda Nurul from Khandallah

Selling two of these shell clamp shaped pool. Perfect for sand or water play. Price is for two of them. One of the edges is broken but doesn’t effect the function, hence the price.

SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Bruce

"I was taken to SPCA by a kind person who noticed I had an injury needing treatment. I've been putting on weight and getting healthy, and am now ready to go home!
I'm a handsome, goofy, gentle giant who is loving and eager to please. I've been learning to walk nicely on a lead while at SPCA and am very responsive to treats and human affection. While I enjoy a walk, I'm also happy just to have a cuddle, and Netflix and chill.
I've made a few canine girlfriends at the centre, and mix best with larger girls who are happy to play and don't mind some barking. I am not suitable for a home with cats or small animals at this stage. I would be happy to live with teenage kids."
