We Should Help The Animals In Distress-They Can’t Help Themselves!


Hello my name is Alisha and I would firstly like to thank you for reading my blog about the organisation Animals In Distress.

The Animals In Distress centre was opened in 1994 and rehomes over 1000 animals a year, due to reasons such as illness, cruelty, financial difficulties and more, and this number is constantly rising! Animals In Distress never turn away an animal (providing there is accommodation) and never put an animal down, unless the animal is too dangerous or ill to be rehomed. They provide the animals with a shelter food, veterinary care, and exercise.

Take Charlie and Rosa, the rabbits. They were found in a box in Cockington as their owners could not care for them any longer. If Animals In Distress had not taken Charlie and Rosa in they could have died. Now they can spend the rest of their lives in secure surroundings. Take Brixton. Brixton was a cat that came in as a stray. He was poorly and was on medication for cystitis. The centre did not know what he had been through and he can be a little feisty. Thankfully, Animals In Distress could take in Brixton and care for him until he was back to full health. Hopefully Brixton will find a loving home where he can relax and enjoy life. However Animals in Distress couldn’t do this without our help.

Would you have a place in your heart for an animal like Brixton? If you are considering getting a pet, would you ever consider getting an animal from a rescue centre? Animals In Distress ensures every effort is taken to find the animal a loving home with an owner that will love and care for them, and give them a second chance in life.
So how can you help?

-Volunteer, help out at the centre!

-Walk the dogs. Why not take a dog out for a walk and give them the exercise!

-Donations. Whether it is a small amount, big amount, or even some pet food, every little helps and is much appreciated!

-Join in with the fundraising! The centre sometimes holds charity events such as dog shows, book stalls, coffee mornings and more!

-Even consider adopting an animal from the centre!

Thank you again for reading my blog and I hope that now you are more aware of this charity, would help out the organisation, or even changed your opinion of this charity. Remember, these animals need your help and it wouldn’t be possible without the help and support of Animals In Distress! It would be very much appreciated if you could answer some of these questions and leave a comment about what you think of my blog! It also would be great if you could tell me where you came from!

-Have I changed your attitude towards Animals In Distress?

-Would you now consider adopting an animal from a rescue centre?

-Have I made you aware of this charity, were you aware of it before?

-Would you support the charity. For example, helping out, donating, going to fundraising events?
