You should Help Poorly Pets by supporting the PDSA



Hello, my name is Shona and thank you for visiting and taking an interest in my blog! I have set up this blog to raise awareness about the British animal charity PDSA. I think that people need to support it more, and learn more about their work before deciding to not bother about it, or thinking it’s just the same as the RSPCA or the Blue Cross. Plus I feel animal welfare is really important!

First of all, the PDSA stands for Peoples Dispensary for Sick Animals and is the UK’s leading veterinary charity. It...
* Provides free vet care to those who can’t afford it-8,800 pets a day to be precise!
* Promotes good pet health care
* Provides emergency health care and re-homing for stray animals

The PDSA help over 2 million animals a year! That isn’t cheap. In fact, it runs up a bill of about £53 000 000! So that’s all well and good, you may say, but stop! The PDSA rely entirely on the public’s donations, which means if you guys stop giving, so does the charity! And if the charity stops giving, thousands of poor helpless animals suffer.

OK so you’ve given me the facts, but now what do I do? Well, there are many ways to help...
* Buy some items in one of the many PDSA charity shops
* Donate clothes, books, toys and all sorts of good condition things to the shops
* Give a little money- even if it’s just 10p put into a collection box, it will make a difference
* Go to one of their many sponsored events around the UK, or make up your own challenge
* Give them old mobile phones, ink cartridges, foreign coins and stamps! Even they’re useful!

Thanks again for visiting my blog! Before you go, it would be so useful to me if you answer a few short questions...
1. Have I changed your opinion about the PDSA?
2. Before reading my blog, how likely were you to donate to the PDSA on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the lowest, 10 the highest)?
3. After reading my blog, how likely are you to donate to the PDSA on a scale of 1-10?
4. Would you be willing to tell other people about my blog so they can come and help me too?

Thank you very much for answering those! Please visit http://www.pdsa.org.uk/ for loads more details!
