July 2012

As part of our '"Give a Little Back" program we invited six charities (or causes) to receive free dog food and treats worth over £500.

Our  Facebook friends were asked to read about each of the charities/rescues and cast their vote.

On Tues July 24th the donations were dispatched.

VioVet thank all of the charities for participating and everyone who voted.
 
     
             
   

     

   
                  
       
   
Who to Vote For?  Check out the choices.
 
          
    How did VioVet choose the charities/rescues ?
Over 75 worthy causes were nominated and it was difficult for VioVet to pick just six.

All of them will received something and we hope that the competition raised their own profile.

We are already planning another similar competition giving away cat food to cat shelters.

Animals in Need:
What We do:
Animals in Need is Based in the Melling area of Liverpool. We promote kindness and the prevention of cruelty to animals in particular by providing or assisting in the provision of food, shelter and veterinary treatment for animals in need of care and protection. 

At Animals In Need, we follow the 3 R's: RESCUE - REHABILITATE - REHOME. 
We help the sad cases other centres are not able to help. We have a no destruction policy and house all the animals until we find them loving homes. 
We are always home to over 100 animals (Dogs, Cats, Rabbits & Rodents, Sheep, Goats, Chickens & Geese). 

We arrange for all the animals to be vaccinated, neutered and microchipped before they go to their new homes. Please take a moment to view the animals we have for adoption.


   
      
        
         
               
               
         
            
   
Doris Banham Dog Rescue:
What We do:
The charity was set up to help all animals, but as we became increasingly aware of the heart breaking needless destruction of unclaimed dogs in dog pounds, we vowed to help them and the charity has developed to provide an essential life saving rescue service for these forgotten dogs.

Did you know that lost and abandoned dogs picked up by dog wardens and the police and placed in council pounds may only have ONE WEEK TO LIVE! 

The pounds are only required to hold lost and abandoned dogs for SEVEN DAYS and on the EIGHTH DAY are entitled to destroy them if they are not reclaimed by owners or taken by rescues.

Please remember to visit all their pages.
VioVet wants you to support them all!
          
  What's it all about?
We want to help six UK based dog charities (or rescues, rehoming centers etc) to send a selection of stock that is approaching its 'best before' date or has minor damage to the packaging.

VioVet would like to highlight these good causes and give them additional exposure with the hope that it will widen their profile. We'd love it if this little competition meant that a dog found a new loving home. If just one dog is rehomed then it will have been worthwhile.
