As week draws to a close, we want to say a massive THANK YOU to all of our amazing volunteers ๐Ÿคฉ

Our volunteers contribute so much to Stray Aid and their help and support helps to improve the lives of so many dogs and cats.

Our incredible shop teams and online fundraisers, bring in vital funds to support our work ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Our fantastic cattery team ensure all of the cats receive the care and attention they need and deserve ๐Ÿ˜ป

Our brilliant dog walkers give the dogs a much needed break from their kennels, as well as helping to teach them how to walk on the lead and interact with people and situations.๐Ÿ˜

And finally our wonderful corporate volunteers, who carry out tasks that we simply wouldnโ€™t have the time or resources to complete. They help to make our facilities better and provide a better space for our animals and visitors. There are too many to mention but you all know who you are ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

So thank you all for everything you bring to Stray Aid. You make a huge difference to the lives of the many animals in our care every day (not just during volunteers week) ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’•

WOW! Thank you so much to everyone who donated to our Comfy Collars appeal. We were blown away by how kind and generous you have been โค๐Ÿพ

Our first parcel arrived just in time for vets day and Velma was the first to be fitted with a new comfy collar (this 1st one was a bit big ๐Ÿ˜†).

She will have a much more comfortable nights sleep with this lovely collar compared to the traditional hard plastic collars.

Thank you all for helping to make our dogs feel more comfortable and content during their recovery ๐Ÿฅฐ
