Goals / Remit
Blue Cross is an animal welfare charity dedicated to improving animal welfare standards in the UK. Our mission is to find happy homes for abandoned or unwanted pets, and we keep pets healthy by promoting welfare and providing treatment. Our core services include:
• Rehoming: We find homes for unwanted cats, dogs, small pets and horses across the UK and our tailor-made service lets us help each pet find the right home. We help around 8,000 homeless pets a year.
• Clinical: Our four animal hospitals and network of clinics treat sick and injured pets when their owners cannot afford private fees. We treat more than 30,000 pets each year.
• Behaviour: We help pets who arrive at Blue Cross with behavioural issues and offer ongoing support to anyone who rehomes a pet from us. Our Behaviour Team carry out around 4,000 consultations, assessments, telephone calls and site visits a year
• Education: We promote animal welfare to the pet owners of the future by giving talks and offering advice. Each year we reach more than 100,000 children and young people.
• Pet bereavement Our Pet Bereavement Support Service is available 365 days a year to help people who are struggling to cope with the loss of a pet. Our trained volunteers handle around 5,000 confidential calls a year.Main EU files targeted
