Roxy's Rescue Story

Roxy's Rescue Story - cont.

..... the staff and volunteers at the Shelter nursed her back to health. Three months later she had gained 21 lbs - doubling what she weighed when we picked her up! She was well on her way to recovery.

We are happy to report that Roxy has now been adopted into a loving home.

In Bermuda we are lucky that cases like Roxy are not seen every day - but they do happen. The SPCA is the only organization there to help and where possible prosecute. But we cannot do it without your help. As with everything in this world it takes money and time.

The SPCA is a non-profit organization that relies heavily on the generosity of the public to support us, through memberships, donations, bequests and by attending our fund raising events.

In addition to our shelter operating expenses of approximately $600,000 per annum we also require additional funding so that we can run meaningful programs and campaigns, to enable us to educate the community on animal welfare issues.

Here are some ways you can help us:

• Become a member - your annual membership fees help toward the running costs of the shelter - providing food and a safe haven for unwanted animals until they find a permanent loving home.

• Make a cash donation- use the Make a Donation link on our website Home Page or call us with your credit card details (Tel: 236-7333) to process your donation over the telephone.

• Make a product donation- This is our current wish list of products:

         8 x 11 photocopy paper   Bath Towels

     Bleach                                Bounty Paper Towels

         Cat Litter                        Tide High Efficiency (HE) Laundry detergent

     A circular Clothes line Color printer (office grade)

• Volunteer your time - we are always looking for people to help either at the shelter or at our fund raising events. Please click on our Get Involved icon on our Home Page.
