ANIMAL re-homing organisations in the region are invited to apply for financial support from the UK’s largest grant-giving animal charity.
Support Adoption For Pets, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary, has revamped its grants scheme to allow any animal charity that re-homes animals to apply for £4,000 or £10,000.
The £4,000 grants are available through the new Helping Paws award, with donations to go towards items such as microchips and scanners.
The charity is launching the scheme ahead of the law change on microchipping, which means every dog must be microchipped, by law, from April.
There are 20 Helping Paws grants available.
For larger organisations, Support Adoption For Pets will also award ten £10,000 grants for renovation projects, which can include enrichment paddocks, fencing, exercise areas or renovations to upgrade existing kennels, catteries and animal housings.
To apply, visit supportadoptionforpets.co.uk.
The deadline for applications is February 26.
