Ways to help
Support the animals – Support the Sanctuary
Donations
We do not receive any Government funding or subsidies and as such we relay entirely on donations from those who support our work and wish to benefit the animals in our care. With running costs in excess of £350,000 per year we are extremely grateful for all donations, regardless of the amount.
We also accept donations of towels, tinned dog food, treats, dog & cat toys and other items; all to help our animals here at the Sanctuary.
Volunteer
Keeping our Sanctuary running depends greatly on hours put in by our fantastic volunteers. Would you be interested in joining our team?

Sponsor a long term dog
It is with sadness that we are sometimes unable to re-home every animal that comes into our care. Some may arrive with a history of maltreatment or neglect resulting in behavioural issues. For this reason they are unable to find their forever homes, for those animals we are their home – for however long they need us we will be there.
For £60 per year you can help us provide this sponsor one of our ‘long termers’ and you will receive regular updates and cards from your nominated sponsor pet throughout the year. The income generated from this ensures they receive the necessary veterinary care, socialisation and enrichment activities that make their time here as rewarding as possible.

Sponsor a Kennel
For £100 per year (or £250 for businesses) you can sponsor a kennel within the sanctuary. We will place your plaque above one of our kennels within the courtyard and your message will be viewed by our 1000 plus visitors each month. This is the ideal opportunity to promote your business or dedicate a kennel in memory of a much loved pet.

Legacies
Legacies are vital to our work and made the dream of our new building a reality and in doing so allowed us to increase our animal intake capacity and also ensured our long term sustainability. We have puts measures in place where provision can made for the care and rehoming for your pet by writing us in your will. For further information click here.
