Thank you

Thanks to everyone for all their support at our recent events: We raised £760 at the Pooches in the Park and we raised £560 at our Asda bag pack.

See photos from Pooches in the Park here.

Charity Shop

We are urgently seeking donations for our charity shop in Waterloo Street. If you have any donations we would be extremely grateful. Clothes, shoes, toys, household items, Bric-a-brac, CDs and DVDs books etc. We also accept rags (items that are not fit for sale)

WE NEED YOUR HELP

Rainbow needs your help. In recent months we have had HUGE vets and food bills. We are regularly spending more money than we have coming in. This can't continue. We are urging our supporters to make a small monthly standing order. This will ensure the survival of our charity and this will mean we can continue to help all those animals in need.
Here is a link to our standing order form.
Your help is a lifeline to the animals.

Special Appeal - ♥ELSIE♥

Elsie is a female Jack Russell aged approx 7/8 years old. Elsie had a lucky escape after being run over by a car at a busy junction. Thankfully her leg wasn't broken but she required stitches and is recupperating in the centre now. She is a very sweet little lady but can be nervous so she needs gentle handling and a quiet home preferably where she will be the only pet and with no young children. She loves her food, a comfy bed, short walks and her back scratched! She would make an excellent little companion for a more mature owner.

Special Appeal - ♥JENNY♥

Jenny has been through a lot on her short life - She has three legs - she is missing one of her back legs. She manages very well. she is happy and healthy and is now looking for a loving home where she can be an indoor cat.

Kittens Dumped

Rainbow volunteers recently rescued 4 kittens and a mother cat who had been dumped in an extremely small box. They were recklessly dumped in a rural area beside the by-pass in Strabane. They were found starving and the mother cat was covered in oil and extremely underweight. All are recovering well in the centre. This is another example of mindless cruelty and neglect in the northwest.
Anyone with any information should contact the centre.

Bonnie's Story

Bonnie the Boxer was found by a member of the public in the Limavady area. She had the worst case of mange we at the centre have ever seen. The majority of her skinny body was bald and red raw from the infection. Her paws were swollen and fluid was oozing from cracks on her skin. Her skin was burning hot to touch Read More >>

Bonnie has now been rehomed and where she is recovering well.

New Volunteers

We are looking for new volunteers to help out at the centre. We have 2 shifts every day. If you would be interested in helping out for 3-4 hours, please get in touch. Volunteers must be over 18, own transport would be ideal.
