Dozens of animal lovers flocked to Sanders Garden World, near Burnham-On-Sea, at the weekend when it hosted an Animal Care Day to tie in with the upcoming launch of its Pet and Aquatic Centre.
Representatives from Secret World rescue centre in East Huntspill attended the one-day event along with some of their furry friends.
The animal experts also talked to visitors about pet care and collected money for the charity.

Sanders Garden World Director Phil Hancock said: “We hosted the Animal Care Day to give people the chance to chat informally to representatives from Secret World and our in-house experts about all animal-related topics.”
The Brent Knoll garden centre has chosen Secret World as one of its charities of the year for 2006 and will be helping the organisation with fundraising.
The Pet and Aquatic Centre will be officially launched at 10am on the 25th. Pauline Kidner, founder of Secret World, will be opening the site and Weston-super-Mare’s Mayor, Charles Heard, will also be helping with the proceedings.
