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. |
News from RSPCA West Dorset Branch
808 animals rehomed in 2011 In 2011 Taylors Rehoming Centre found new homes for 224 cats, 62 rabbits, 359 hens and 162 other fluffy and furry things! Home Visitors Needed Would you be interested in becoming a home visitor? We are in need of new volunteers within the West Dorset Branch area. Full training is given. Home visitors pay two visits to the homes of potential animal adopters, the first to check that the home is right for the animal they wish to adopt and the second a few weeks later, just to make sure everyone is happy and things are working out for all humans and animals concerned. No special skills are needed, just an ability to talk to people and a desire to help animals. If you would like more information, please email us on mail@westdorsetrspca.org Taylors' Photographer, Anthony Foot, wins RSPCA Photo of the Year
RSPCA WEST DORSET BRANCH IS NOW TWEETING! CLICK ON THE LOGOS TO JOIN US...
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. Our Axminster Charity Shop is now open! Click here for photos of the opening

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." If you have any ideas or queries regarding this website, or any aspect of the work of RSPCA West Dorset and Axminster Branch please do not hesitate to contact us details are on the Contacts page. |
