In 2022 we rehomed

14 rabbits

Needed - Donated Cat Food

Our cats are fed exclusively on Whiskas and Felix, as using a variety of cat foods can upset their tummies.

If you could donate a few cans or pouches, we would be so grateful.

Food can be dropped off at Taylor's, or at any of our Charity Shops.

Or you could donate cat food money by PayPal, just send us a message to let us know what it's for.

Buy a tea towel to support us

Great range of superb quality Ulster Weavers and Alex Clark tea towels - available in our charity shops and via our eBay store

RSPCA West Dorset Branch is proud of our no euthanasia policy for healthy re-homeable animals

If you have any queries about our euthanasia policy, please get in touch.

The Animal Welfare Act

"The Five Freedoms"

As well as increasing the penalties for those who inflict the most serious offences, the Animal Welfare Act makes it a legal requirement for pet owners to do what is reasonable to provide for their animal's needs. These are:

a proper diet (food and water)
somewhere suitable to live
any need to be housed with or apart from other animals
allowing them to express normal behaviour
protection from pain, suffering, injury and disease
