Donations

Just For Dogs is an independent charity and depends solely on the support of people and organisations to enable us to carry out the vital work of rescuing and re-homing dogs.

If you’d like to support dog rescues in your local area – like us then there are so many different ways to help.  Please contact us to find out more as we really appreciate any help you can give.

Our running costs each year for food, vet bills and heating amount to around £70,000 per year which is a staggering amount to raise and we couldn’t do it without your kind support. We take in an alarming number of dogs each year and there are always so many more on the waiting list that just breaks our heart. If you are able to help with any of the following please do get in touch.

Donations of money – no matter how small.

It’s always helpful for us to receive ‘one off’ donations and any money donated is always put to good use with the main beneficiaries being the dogs themselves!

Monthly Direct Debit Scheme

We have many supporters who have signed up to our direct debit scheme, giving us a reliable monthly income which helps us to budget all year round, especially throughout the winter months when heating costs are at their highest and fundraising at its lowest!

If you can commit to donating on a monthly basis (no matter how small) then please fill in the Direct Debit form.

PayPal Donations

You can now donate to Just For Dogs through PayPal, anything you can offer will be greatly appreciated!

Raffle & Tombola Prizes 

Search your cupboards, drawers, wardrobes garages & man-caves (yes, we know you men are worse than the ladies for hoarding) for any unwanted items and gifts you are obliviously hoarding! Donate them to us in order that we can turn such items into real money by using them on our Tombola stalls that are on-going throughout the year.

Likewise the more expensive gifts we can use as Raffle Prizes.

Annual grand raffle prizes…

If there are any companies or individuals who are in a position to offer a major cash prize or gift – a weekend away, spa day, restaurant voucher, beauty/hairdressing voucher, or similar – for our annual prize draw please do get in touch with us. Our Annual Prize Draw has the potential to raise a huge amount of money but it is only as great as the attraction of the prizes.

Remember:– You can add your name to our list of volunteers who sell raffle tickets on our behalf!
