Pet First Aid Training - 10th June

Led by Barney & Bella’s Head Veterinary Nurse, this 2-hour workshop teaches you how to recognise the signs that your pet is in distress, how to respond, and how to identify the difference between an emergency and non-emergency.

Summer Car Boot - 20th June

One person’s clutter is another’s treasure! Come along to our car boot for a morning of bargain hunting, tasty street food, and a great family day out.

Make a Donation

As a self-funded branch, we rely entirely on our community and fundraising efforts to continue our work. Every donation, big or small, helps feed, provide medical attention, and shelter our residents, giving them a chance for a brighter future.
