FUND RAISING
We have a wide variety of fund raising sources and are always eager to hear of possible new ones.
Jennifer has been fund raising for the shelter for many, successful years and is in charge of most of the tried and tested methods which include; sales of bric-a-brac, tombolas, the annual grand draw, the Christmas appeal, and other activities.
All of these areas require people to make them work. If you are interested in helping or have a new idea, please contact us at the shelter.

CHIPS FOR EVERYONE!
For more than a year now we have been giving CHIPS to every dog that comes in to the shelter -YUMMY! Sorry to disappoint you dogs - these are microchips. The chips are injected under the skin (Don’t worry, you won’t feel a thing, “I didn’t”  reports Spike) These chips are a kind of electronic name tag which can’t get lost. Dogs and cats brought to the shelter are scanned with a hand-held scanner and if they have been ‘chipped’ a number appears on the scanner screen. This number tells us who your owner is. Clever heh?

We will Identi-chip cats and dogs for £12.50
(Please ring to make an appointment.)
It is a quick painless injection in to the area between the dog’s shoulder blades.There is a registration form to fill in and confirmation will be posted to you within 4 weeks.If your pet becomes lost and is taken in by the police, dog wardens or your local animal shelter they will scan the animal for a I.D chip and a 15 digit number will appear on the scanner, this number allows the finder to trace the animals owners in seconds. It is also very important that you keep your address up to date.
