If you’ve suffered a pet loss, contact The Blue Cross!

Firstly, thank you for visiting my blog about the Blue Cross. My name is Erin, and the reason I have chosen the Blue Cross to do my advocacy on is because I feel very strongly about any issues to do with animals.  Animal abuse it just purely wrong, don’t you think? Also, the Blue Cross, deals with multiple things to do with animals!  Not only do they provide a pet adoption service, they help with grievance issues, they re-home any animals, they have four animal hospitals across the UK to handle the veterinary side of things, and they have specialists in animal behaviour who offer help to anyone who needs it.  So, as you can already see, they are not just another one of those ‘Animal Charities’ who just specialise in rehoming dogs, they will take in anyone, from hamsters to horses.

Once you have read my blog, and I really hope you stay to do that, hopefully you will have realised that they want all the help they can get and appreciate it thoroughly!  And if you to feel strongly about animals you could even make a donation towards the Blue Cross and leave a comment below to tell me your thoughts and if you think my blog was helpful with describing them to you.

What can you do to help?
  • You could make a one off donation if you do want to help the Blue Cross, but aren’t too keen on a monthly donation towards them.
  • You could set up a standing order, or a monthly direct debit which will go towards helping sick or unwanted animals get back on their feet.
  • You could leave a legacy to provide vital funds in helping the Blue Cross care for all their animals.
  • You could volunteer or even work for the Blue Cross to provide assistance to the team.
  • You could have a look at the online shop for the Blue Cross, not only to help them with funds, but to help me with my advocacy.
  • And finally, you could fundraise or attend an event for/by the Blue Cross by running a race, go on a sponsored walk or visit them on an open day.
Doing any of these things will help the Blue Cross in so many ways and raise the valuable money that they would be so grateful for. Another person who would be extremely thankful if you take part in reading this blog, or visiting their website www.bluecross.org.uk or just even commenting below, would be me!  If you are going to comment below, then if you could please answer the following questions in your comment, it would be much appreciated. If you could also state where you come from, that would be great.

1.    Did you know about the Blue Cross before you read my blog?
2.    Do you feel more informed about the Blue Cross after reading my blog?
3.    Would you consider doing any of the above things to help the Blue Cross?
And finally,
4.    Do you have any pets yourself? If so, what do you have?

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit this site and read my blog, it is appreciated a lot, and please do comment as I need evidence to state that my advocacy has been a success!
