Admin
If you’re an admin whizz, we would appreciate your help in our Newport office.
Shop Staff
Our Portsmouth and I.O.W. shops in Ryde and Sandown are open Monday to Saturday. A regular day or half day in one, will make a huge difference. Please call or pop in. Our Newport head office is open Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Car Booters
We are seeking teams of two, who would be willing to pick up goods from our shop in Gunville, price the items and sell. Vehicle supplied if available.
Street and Store Collections
Remember just a small gift of time can make a BIG difference to the life of an animal. An hour or two spent helping at a local collection, translates into a chunk off a veterinary bill. This one item remains the
Charity’s biggest outgoing.
Pets at Home
When shopping at Pets at Home please remember to nominate ‘Friends of the Animals’, if you do, every time you swipe your VIP card, our animals will receive vouchers to spend in Store. Our latest voucher was for well over £1,200 so they are super-worthwhile to the Charity.
Shopping Online
Please register with ‘Give as you live’ to do your’ online shopping. Then as you shop, the Stores themselves make a donation to the Charity. It’s as simple as that to help an animal !
Animal Sanctuary
Do something amazing and help out at the Sanctuary in Wolverton, Warwickshire. You’ll need: time, kindness, a willingness to work and probably a pair of wellies !
