Pets are beloved family members, sometimes a person's only friend. ❤️

No-one should have to go hungry – and nobody should have to make the heart-breaking decision to give up their pet because they can’t afford to feed them. We need your support from 7 – 27 August to promote our pet food bank service at our summer event in partnership with Pets at Home. This event is family friendly, and everyone is invited to join the fun!

Introducing... Prince Raymond 👑

This handsome fellow has recently had one of his back legs removed after it was fractured from being hit by a car 😢

Raymond is looking for a new home away from busy roads and without other pets.

Hi, I’m Raymond a rescue from Blue Cross and I need a new home. Can you help me? https://www.bluecross.org.uk/pet/raymond-2162574

🙏Can you help us? 🤔

We are in need of some lino to line our rabbit hutches for our wonderful foster carers. This makes them easier to clean and ensures the hutches last longer

We are looking for pieces that are minimum size of 6ft in length and 2ft wide. If you have some larger offcuts stashed in your garage we would gladly take them off your hands or perhaps you are a floor fitter and have lots of surplus offcuts? We would love to hear from you!

Any donations can be dropped to us at our site in Marsh Barton, EX2 8ED

Jasper the cat is looking for a lovely home with lots of outdoor space nearby to explore! 🌳
Jasper is happiest when mooching around outside, with a quick sunbathing break, followed by dinner time 🍽 he will head bump your legs and enjoys occasionally playing, which is a joy to see!
Jasper is worried by the dog in his current home so wouldn't like to share his new home with one, however he could live with other cat/s and children 🥰

It's important to keep your small furry pets cool in this weather, alongside your dogs and cats!

You'll find some great advice here on how to do so:

https://www.bluecross.org.uk/advice/guinea-pig/how-to-keep-guinea-pigs-cool-in-the-summer 🐰🐹

Here’s our tips on keeping your guinea pigs cool in the summer and avoiding heatstroke.

⚠️ Dogs can suffer fatal heatstroke within minutes, so with the current hot weather we are experiencing, it's important to remember the signs of heatstroke and what to do next. 💦 🌳 📞
We have lots more hot weather advice here 👉 https://bit.ly/3iEdkdB

We urge dog owners to reconsider exercising their flat-faced dogs on hot days like today! 📢

Each year, we see many flat-faced breeds, like Trojan here, suffering from severe heatstroke.

Despite sitting in the shade with plenty of water, he arrived with a high temperature of 41.3°C. 🌡️

Thankfully, his concerned owner acted quickly and came straight to us, and Trojan was able to fully recover. But not all dogs are so lucky.

Flat-faced dogs cannot regulate their temperature as easily as other dogs because of their flatter noses.

Don't take the chance! More advice on keeping your dog cool here: https://bit.ly/44zi9Jf

Thousands of racing greyhounds are still suffering.

From the day they’re born to the day they die, many live a miserable existence. Often transported in poor conditions at a young age, kept from socialising and forced to live in cramped kennels, all so that they can prepare for a race that, each time, exposes them to a risk of serious injury or death.

This summer, we’re running a race of our own: the race to 100,000 signatures. With over 50,000 already, we’re making great progress. But to create real change, we need your help to cross the finish line.

Sign our petition. It’s time to stop dog exploitation.
