THANK YOU JOLLYES
The Rainbow Rehoming Centre would like to say a huge thanks to Jollyes Petfood Superstore who recently donated a cheque for £1000 to the centre.
This money was raised by Jollyes through various fundraising and activity days held in their store on the Buncrana Road in aid of the Rescue Centre for dogs and cats.
Jollyes have also offered to sponsor the cost of feeding the centres 2 longterm residents "Rudy" and "Roxy", 2 Japanese Akitas who have been in the centre for some considerable time and are waiting for a suitable forever home together. The cost of feed for such large dogs longterm is not cheap for the centre so this extremely kind gesture is very much welcomed and appreciated by staff and volunteers at the centre!!!

NEW OPENING TIMES:
From MONDAY 02nd APRIL the Centre Opening Hours will be changing.
The Centre will be open 7 DAYS a week from 12pm - 4pm.
On a TUESDAY and a FRIDAY EVENING ONLY the centre will be open between 5:30 - 7:30pm.

THANK YOU PETS AT HOME
In the month of December, from 1st to 24th, Pets At Home Store on the Crescent Link ran a "Santa Paws Appeal" with a "Round to a Pound" Scheme where they asked their customers to round their purchase to the nearest pound with the difference going towards the Rainbow Centre. The customers were extremely generous and supportive and a massive £1375 was raised from this scheme so we would like to say a huge thankyou to everyone who donated.
The Pets at Home "Support Adoption For Pets Scheme" which helps raise money for pets in local rescues have donated a further £250 to Rainbow to go towards the animals in our care so we would like to thank the Pets At Home Trustees for their support.
Also louise Campbell from Pinkett Photography held a photo shoot in store before Christmas and a percentage of the pictures sold was donated to Rainbow which was £125 so in total the Rainbow Centre have been presented with a cheque for £1750 to go towards the work the centre does in providing care, shelter, food, vet treatment and new homes for homeless and needy animals.
We are very grateful for such a generous donation and would like to express our sincere thanks to all who donated. We are totally reliant on kind donations to continue our work so this is very much appreciated. |

THANK YOU ...
We would like to say a BIG Thankyou to Ann Moorhead of Portrush who has very kindly donated over £250 worth of worming tablets for the Rainbow cats & dogs from Millburn Veterinary Practice in Coleraine. This is an expensive treatment as all of the animals that come into our care requiring worming. This is a very useful donation and Ann's generosity is very much appreciated!! |

Due to the significant increase in animal cruelty and neglect cases in the North West and surrounding areas and with a lack of USPCA presence in the North West, members of the public have been increasingly turning to the Rainbow Centre with concerns for animals. In a response to this we have launched a Cruelty Awareness Helpline.
Puppy Farms & Back Yard Breeders In recent months the Rainbow Rehoming Centre has been carrying out many visits to areas throughout the northwest with regards to complaints of cruelty/neglect of animals.: READ MORE
