Teckels Animal Sanctuary, based in Whitminster, has actually looked after numerous undesirable cats and dogs considering that 2003 however has actually dealt with a difficult year.
Staff state the centre has actually been seriously affected by a variety of elements due to spiralling expenses, falling contributions and a boost in the variety of animals being quit.
The scenario has actually been referred to as ‘ravaging’ and ‘heartbreaking’ by charity employers, who formerly said they would need to close unless immediate funds were raised.
The charity has actually now revealed it has actually raised more than £76,000 in action to its immediate appeal.
Sarah Johnson, centre supervisor said: “We wish to send a wholehearted thank you to all that have actually supported our appeal up until now.
“We have actually been overwhelmed by the public’s kindness and assistance from both regional and nationwide people and neighborhoods.
“Although we are not out of the woods yet, the future of Teckels is looking far more enthusiastic.
“The funds raised so far will permit us more time to explore and implement new strategies that will hopefully secure income streams and minimise outgoings for both the immediate future and longer term.”
Teckles is now wishing to strike its fundraising objective of £100,000 to secure its future.
The rescue and rehoming centre takes care of and fixes up homeless cats and dogs and discovers them permanently houses.
Each year Teckels re-homes more than 250 cats and 150 dogs and has actually held the roaming dog agreement for Stroud District Council for over 15 years.
Some of these animals have actually had a challenging past throughout which they might have been mistreated, overlooked or abandoned.
While others have actually formerly had owners who are no longer in a position to care for them.
Teckles has actually just recently partnered with a regional care service provider Prosperity Care and Wellbeing to arrange different fundraising activities over the coming months.
Its very first charity event will be a sponsored dance-a-thon held at Jax, an inclusive night-club in Gloucester on June 20.
