Burgess Hill animal lovers thanked for huge donation for rescue pets

Colleagues and customers at Pets at Home Burgess Hill raised £5,858 for pets spending the festive period at Brighton Greyhound Owners Association Trust for Retired Greyhounds.

The fundraising drive was part of Support Adoption For Pets’ annual Santa Paws appeal, and helped raise funds for essential vet bills and care costs.

Amy Wilson, Support Adoption For Pets fundraising manager, said: “Every year, we set ambitious fundraising targets for our Santa Paws appeal, but in 2019 in particular, our new Charity of the Year partnerships allowed rescues and their local Pets at Home stores to build even stronger relationships to raise these vital funds.

“We would like to thank everybody who made a donation in Burgess Hill. Your help and continued support in 2019 brought wagging tails and smiles, not just at Christmas, but all year round, to the lives of pets who need it most.”

In 2006 Pets at Home established the charity Support Adoption For Pets. Since then it has helped more than 1,000 rehoming centres and animal welfare organisations across the UK. In addition to its fundraising, it also runs dedicated adoption centres in Pets at Home stores.
