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.

NEXT RESCUE 20TH MARCH 2010.

HENS STILL AVAILABLE.....

 

EX BATTERY FARMED HENS - SPECIAL APPEAL

Do you have the facilities to give a loving new home to some ex-battery-hens?  We are always on the look out for suitable retirement homes for chickens lucky enough to be rescued from the hell of battery farming.  We work together with the Battery Hen Welfare Trust.  Although these poor birds are not in a very good state of health when they are set free from their tiny prisons many make a remarkable recovery and soon regain their health and natural instincts.  If you think you have the appropriate facilities to take on some hens please visit contact us for more information as hens are available for collection  from Taylor's Rehoming Centre subject to a satisfactory home check.   If you do not live in this area, please visit www.thehenshouse.co.uk  You may also like to contact Jane on 01769 580310  or email jane@thehenshouse.co.uk for more details.   You would have the satisfaction of giving a loving home to creatures which have suffered horrible cruelty in the name of profit.
