Pet friendly plants wanted for our stall at Open Day on the 4th July!

We will also be donating plants to the shelter's sensory garden, and giving advice on pet friendly gardening, as well as telling people all about the work we do, and signing up new members.

So come along on the day and have a chat with us.

Not sure if your plants are pet friendly? No problem, we can always sell them at our stall at the garden, or take to our next event 😀

UPDATE: We received an overwhelming response to this appeal and our stores are now full! Thank you to everyone who helped us in our time of need. If you still have items to donate we would be very grateful if you could wait a month or two before dropping them off.

We are currently running very low on essential bedding supplies and would be incredibly grateful for donations of:

✅ Blankets
✅ Towels
✅ Non-feather duvets

These items help keep the animals in our care warm, comfortable and cosy while they wait for their forever homes. With so many pets relying on us every day, our stock is being used up quickly and we are now in urgent need of replenishment.

If you have any clean, unwanted blankets, towels or non-feather duvets tucked away at home, please consider donating them to help our Shelter residents. Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a real difference and helps us provide the comfort and care our animals deserve.

Donations can be dropped off in our donations shed 8am to 6pm weekdays and 8am to 4:30pm at weekends. Thank you for your continued support – our dogs, cats and small animals really do appreciate it! ❤️🐾

Sadly, we have been informed that a lorry has driven into the CRG.

Thank you to everyone who has been in touch to let us know, and offered to help.

We will keep you all updated on any damage.
