To mark the partnership, the charity donated £100 to feed all 42 dogs currently in Teckels’ care, highlighting the growing pressures facing rescue centres due to rising costs and increasing numbers of abandoned animals.
The campaign encourages businesses, community groups and individuals to support their local rescue centres this World Animal Day in the lead up to October 4 by donating food or fundraising. More details on how to get involved will be announced later this year.
Sarah Carr, CEO of Naturewatch Foundation and coordinator of World Animal Day, said:
“I loved visiting Teckels Animal Sanctuary, meeting the dedicated staff, and the wonderful dogs and cats waiting for their forever homes. As a charity headquartered in Gloucestershire, I am so pleased that we can help Teckels Animal Sanctuary this year with our World Animal Day Donate a Dinner project! Every year we coordinate World Animal Day around the globe, so by launching the project now, we hope that lots of businesses, organisations and community groups will think which animal shelters they can help too on October 4”
