RSPCA West Dorset & Axminster 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.

News from RSPCA West Dorset & Axminster Branch

08 August 2010

Do you live locally? Would you like to help us?

We currently have vacancies on the committee of RSPCA West Dorset Branch for Trustees.

The West Dorset Branch of the RSPCA is run by a committed team of voluntary trustees. We always welcome new trustees. Anyone wishing to become involved in this way would need to live within reach of Dorchester, where our monthly committee meetings are held (in the evening). Trustees attend these meetings and are encouraged to contribute ideas and opinions concerning the running of Branch affairs. Trustees can take on additional responsibilities according to their skills and interests. Some become involved in 'hands on' work with the animals, others take on various administrative or fundraising roles whilst others become involved with the operation of charity shops. If you are interested in becoming a Branch Trustee, please email us. We would be delighted to hear from you.

Branch Secretary Vacancy

We currently have a trustee vacancy for the position of Branch Secretary. This is an unpaid post, which would suit someone with a good background in administrative tasks. You would need to have a few hours to spare each week and be able to attend a meeting one evening a month. The Branch Secretary is an officer of the Branch and as such works closely with the Treasurer and Chairman to ensure the smooth administrative running of Branch affairs. As a new trustee you would of course be given plenty of support and guidance. If you are interested in finding out more about this rewarding role, please contact us by email.

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”.

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
