Welcome to an all new virtual festival. One Fun Day for Animals. Island Style! As we spend more time at home than ever before, there are still animals across the island who need our help. Instead of joining us at our shelter, you're at home practising social distancing and sharing your companions amazing talents. You can also encourage your friends and family to help you help animals too. Our virtual festival takes everything we know you love about previous events and lets you join in from the comfort of your home. Help us celebrate and showcase your bundle of joy, feline, equine, canine, two legs or four - all species are welcome. Join us from home (online) between June 1st and June 14 and celebrate your love of animals!

We have made the difficult decision to cancel all fundraising events this summer due to the social distancing measures brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. This means animal-lovers can no longer join us out and about in the community for cake and tea, gala day or dog shows. While you cant come out and celebrate with us and the animals this year, you can still help. That's why were bringing you our virtual festival .
