Story

Days and nights can be particularly cold here on the farm for our animals when the cold weather kicks in.

Last year our heating bills cost a total of £26,311.04 to heat the 142 animal pens we have here at our Benton North Farm shelter for the whole year.

This means it costs us £185.28 to heat ONE kennel or cat pen for a year. We are appealing for your help to keep our kennels and pens warm and cosy for our animals.

Outside of our Benton reception we have a board with our target on and every person who donates to our campaign will have their name added to the board.

Every donation helps us, whether it is £1, £5 or £10.

For any person or business willing to heat a kennel or pen for a year by donating £185.28, we will display your name or business name and logo on a kennel or pen for the whole year.

If you'd like more information please give us a call on 0191 215 0435 or email events@dogandcatshelter.com
