Our Isle of Wight branch recently had a visit from the manager of the Pets at Home in Newport, and as a result we will be working together together to jointly promote:

"Think Adoption First"

We are looking forward to a great working partnership with the store, and as Friends of the Animals has now spayed / neutered 19,600 animals; this aspect of responsible pet ownership will be high on the agenda.

New Rates for Spays / Neuters (Sandwell)

THANK YOU to SANDWELL COUNCIL for kindly granting the Charity a FULL 20% discretionary rate relief for the coming Financial Year on our office and shop in Bearwood.

As a direct result of this saving by SANDWELL COUNCIL we are going to immediately use the money to help the residents of Sandwell and their animals.

With effect (from Tuesday 24th March) the Charity will reduce further the cost of Bitch & Cat Spays + Dog & Cat Neuters to ALL SANDWELL residents.

This will mean that a Bitch Spay, booked through the Charity’s office in Bearwood will cost only £42, a Dog Neuter £40, and both Cat Spays & Neuters only £20.

This is an incredibly low price and will be available to ALL SANDWELL residents until the end of April.  Bookings must be made through our Bearwood office, please view our CONTACT page for details on how to get in touch.  Proof of residency in Sandwell will be requested e.g. a copy of the individuals’ rates bill!

More details are available from Helen (Founder) 01983-616-144, or Maggie 0121-420-4201.

In Loving Memory ~ Jack Douglas

As you may have seen on TV, Jack Douglas, star of the "Carry On" films sadly passed away a week before Christmas.  Jack absolutely loved all animals.  He was the Charity's first patron and it was thanks to him that we secured the support of both Rick Wakeman and Jonathan Ross.

Jack was generous both with his time and money, and frequently following talks he would say, "Please make the cheque out to my favourite charity, Friends of the Animals".

We will miss him very much indeed, and we plan to spend donations in Jack's memory on a lasting piece of equipment.

Jack Douglas and Charity Founder, Helen Sinclair.
