I will be running the Bristol Half Marathon on behalf of the Bristol Dogs home.

 

RSPCA Bristol & District Branch is made up of the RSPCA Bristol Animal Clinic and Bristol Dogs and Cats Home. The RSPCA Animal Clinic treats over 12,000 animals a year and provides a 24 hour veterinary service for lost, sick and injured stray animals, subsidised veterinary treatment for people on a low income, a first aid centre for wildlife casualties and ‘well dog’ clinics for the animals of homeless people.

Bristol Dogs & Cats Home, an integral part of the RSPCA Bristol & District Branch, has been caring for stray, unwanted and neglected cats, dogs and small animals for over 120 years. The Home provides care, shelter and a re-homing service for nearly 2,000 unwanted animals every year and is often full to capacity!

With so many animals to care for our annual running costs exceed £1.4 million. The RSPCA Bristol Branch is an independent charity which receives no funding from the National RSPCA, Government or the Lottery. We therefore rely on the support from the community through donations, legacies and fundraising events to continue our important work, giving animals in need a second chance for a happy life, free from pain or neglect.
