RSPCA West Dorset Branch is a separate charity affiliated to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).  We cover the towns of Dorchester, Bridport, Weymouth, Portland, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Sherborne and Axminster (Devon) as well as all the surrounding villages and hamlets.  Our main priorities are the welfare and rehoming of local animals.  We raise ours funds within the Branch boundaries and all money raised is spent within the area.  We are responsible for "Taylors Animal Rehoming Centre" at Kingston Maurward, Dorchester.

 

If you wish to report an Animal Emergency or have concerns regarding the welfare of an animal please telephone 0300 1234 999.  Please also call this number if you need to have an unowned or wild animal collected by an RSPCA Animal Collection Officer. 

PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL US REGARDING EMERGENCIES OR CRUELTY AS THIS IS NOT THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY OF DEALING WITH SUCH MATTERS.  CALL 0300 1234 999 AND REPORT THE MATTER TO THE RSPCA NATIONAL CALL CENTRE.  THANK YOU.

3 April 2009 - Could you offer a home to a St Bernard dog?

The National RSPCA has over 100 of these very large breed dogs which will require new homes.  Please contact us by email on mail@westdorsetrspca.org  if you would like more information.  However, please do think carefully about rehoming a St Bernard - for obvious reasons they are more than you average dog, not only in size, but also in cost of care / feeding.

PLEASE DO NOT PHONE US OR WOODLANDS KENNELS REGARDING THE ST BERNARDS.

PLEASE EMAIL US mail@westdorsetrspca.org AND YOUR MESSAGE WILL BE PASSED ON TO THE NATIONAL RSPCA.

17 August 2008 - 2008 TAYLOR'S OPEN DAY RAISES OVER £2,600

The Event was opened by local RSPCA Inspector Ken Snook, and raised over £2,600 which will be spent on a new bird aviary and chicken house.

The Open day included all the usual stalls and games such as tombolas, raffles, gifts, plants, cakes and a barbecue, as well as the ever popular Pet-less Pet Show, where people enter photos of their animals into various classes such as most handsome male, most beautiful female, and most contented animal rehomed from “Taylors”.


13 May 2006 - Following the completion of a ten week Dog Training Course run by Pat Doyle in Leigh, Dorset, owners and their dogs attempted the Kennel Club "Good Citizen Tests".  Sgt. A. Corbin of the Dorset Police Dog Section set them their tasks and nine silver and twelve bronze awards were successfully achieved.  Profits from the running of the Course were generously donated to RSPCA West Dorset Branch.


Calling All Knitters....

Can you help our cats & kittens feel snug and safe, whilst they await a new home.  We need knitted or crocheted blankets for the cats to curl up on in their cat beds.  Ideally they should measure 1 metre square  (2 1/2 - 3  foot) so that they cover the whole cat bed or shelf.  The blankets can be any colours and made out of any type of  wool.  A lot of the blankets that people make for us are made up of knitted squares and of all types of odd wool. 

We are always in need of lots of blankets, as they only have a limited shelf life, as they need to be washed at high temperatures to kill any germs, and can get quite furry after a while.  Out of all the animal bedding we have here, these are what our cats prefer!!!!!

If you can't knit, and would like to donate any wool for others to make us blankets, then please contact the Centre on 01305 259672 or call into our shops in Dorchester, Axminster & Bridport.

Many thanks

Lisa Samways

Taylor's Rehoming Centre Manager

"We would like to thank all the lovely people who have made blankets for our cats at the Centre.  They are very much appreciated, and loved by the cats."
