Thinking about getting a new cat or dog? Why not consider rescuing your next companion. As a veterinary nurse I have worked very closely with these rescue centres, and they all do a great job in helping all animals that are needing a forever home.
Here are just a few of the local rescue centres in Surrey..
Riverside animal centre
This centre is in Beddington park, Wallington, Surrey. They rescue and try and find homes for cats, dogs and rabbits.
They hold re-homing afternoons on the first Sunday of every month between 2pm and 4pm. These are primarily for prospective cat owners. If you are looking to give a dog a new home then you can phone them to make an individual appointment to meet any or all of there dogs.
They also have a wildlife unit where they help injured and unwell animals.
Tel: 0208 669 8877 or visit them at www.riversideanimalcentre.org
