Get Involved

Our active supporters are our most important resource.  We are always seeking new volunteers within the Branch area.   You might like to join one of our Auxiliary Fundraising teams in Sherborne, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Axminster, Weymouth, Portland or Dorchester.  Our Auxiliaries run a number of events throughout the year ranging from Fetes and Fairs to Coffee Mornings, Sponsored Events, Street Collections and Tombolas.  Our Branch Fundraising committee meets at Taylor's Rehoming Centre once a month and we welcome new members.  You might like to get involved in the running of the Branch.  Our Branch Committee is responsible for the running of the Branch and we are always seeking new members with various administrative, professional and practical skills.  If you are keen to get involved we would love to hear from you.  There is something that everyone can do – we can make the most of what you have to offer.   Check out the Jobs Available page for fuller details of volunteer help required.

Foster an Animal

Even now that our new Animal Centre is fully operational we still require fosterers to look after animals which come in to the care of the Branch whilst they wait to find new homes.  We are especially keen to find fosterers who can look after dogs but would like to hear from you if you are able to foster any other animal too – even exotic pets!  All of our potential fosterers will be visited by an RSPCA Inspector and asked to sign a fostering agreement.  Fostering is a very rewarding experience, giving love and stability to an animal who is ‘between homes’, and ideally suiting people who are not in a position to make a long term commitment to another pet. 

Support Our Fundraising Events

Check out our Events page for details of our Fundraising activities in your area.

Support Our Charity Shops

If you are in the Bridport or Dorchester areas make sure you visit our  Branch Shops, and please remember us when you have goods to donate.  Maybe you have a few hours each week you could spare to help in one of the Shops?  Or maybe you would like to be one of our Emergency Helpers?  We are hoping to set up more Shops in the near future, with a long term goal of Shops in Lyme Regis, Sherborne and Weymouth.

Leave a Legacy -

In the past the RSPCA West Dorset Branch has been deeply indebted to those local people who have been kind enough to remember the Branch in their wills.

Please remember that if you wish to leave a legacy to the RSPCA to be spent helping animals in the West Dorset area and at 'Taylor's Animal Rehoming Centre' your will must be specifically worded to mention the West Dorset Branch, otherwise the legacy will go to RSPCA HQ to be spent on the Inspectorate and other general purposes of the National Society. Please contact RSPCA HQ direct if this is your wish.

Any member wishing to leave a legacy to the RSPCA West Dorset Branch / 'Taylor's Animal Rehoming Centre' should ensure that the following wording is used in their will:

“I give the sum of £_________ to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals West Dorset Branch (Registered Charity No. 248616) and I declare that the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or other proper officer for the time being of the said Branch shall be sufficient discharge for the said legacy.”

If you already have a will, your solicitor can add to it a section (a codicil) based on the above words.  You should always consult a solicitor regarding the preparation of your will.

Thank you.
