Win an amazing prize and help pets in need!

We made the difficult decision to cancel our Summer Open Day on Saturday 4th July due to the forecast high temperatures.

This was a particularly difficult decision, especially in our centenary year, but as our event is largely dog-focused, the welfare of our four-legged friends has to come first. We didn’t want to encourage owners to bring their dogs out in potentially unsafe temperatures, and we know many people would have understandably chosen to stay away. As a result, we didn’t believe the event would attract the visitor numbers needed to make it financially viable to go ahead.

Our Summer Open Day is our biggest community event of the year and one of our most important fundraising events, raising vital funds to help us care for animals in need, so we were deeply disappointed that it couldn’t go ahead.

However. we were incredibly touched by the generosity of local businesses who had already donated some fantastic raffle prizes for our on-the day-raffle and we’d still love to give our supporters the chance to win them!

Raffle closes 31st July with the draw taking place on 5th August.

Every £1 ticket you buy will help pets like Pebbles, Reggie and Patrick

Sixteen-year-old Pebbles came into our care when her owner sadly became too unwell to look after her.

Pebbles is a sweet older lady who greatly enjoys companionship. Despite her age, she is in good health and loves plenty of attention and affection. She enjoys spending her time watching the world go by from a sunny windowsill, or snuggling up on a lap, sofa, or cosy blanket.

Pebbles has now been at the Shelter for two months. Sadly, older animals can often be overlooked.

Thanks to your generous support, Pebbles is receiving all the love, care, and comfort she needs while she waits patiently to find the forever home she deserves.

Seven-year-old Reggie came to the Shelter when his family were no longer able to give him the time and attention he needed.

This affectionate Staffie loves being around people and is a true champion cuddler, taking every opportunity to soak up as much fuss and affection as possible.

During a health check, our veterinary team discovered that one of Reggie’s toes was swollen. Further tests revealed it was cancerous, and he required surgery to have the affected toe amputated. Thanks to the expert care he received, Reggie is now recovering well and enjoying all the love and attention he can get.

Your generous support helps ensure that dogs like Reggie receive the vital medical treatment they need, giving them the best possible chance of a happy and healthy future.

Patrick is a four-year-old lop rabbit who came to the Shelter after the sad loss of his bonded companion.

Friendly, confident and full of character, he loves attention from people and is always first to greet his carers at feeding time.

Patrick was previously in contact with a rabbit suspected of having EC (Encephalitozoon cuniculi), a condition that affects rabbits. This means that he can only be rehomed with a rabbit that has already been exposed which has made finding him a home more challenging, and he has now been waiting at the Shelter for seven months.

Your support helps us provide rabbits like Patrick with the care and safety they need until they can find a suitable home.

Please consider entering our raffle – it’s a fun and easy way to support our work, and you might win a wonderful prize.

Money raised from this raffle will be spent on items to help all the animals at the Shelter including medical expenses, kitten food and upgrades to our rabbit accommodation.

And as an added bonus, if we raise over £500 we will receive extra funding for our rabbits from The Monochrome Angel Foundation.
