What do animals charities do?

 
 
Animal charities come in a variety of species - some are large & international (e.g. the WWF) while others are very much your local charity set up by someone who simply cares about animals & wants to help them.
 
Animal charities may have a number of roles:
  • care for just one species e.g. Cats Protection or the Cheetah Conservation Fund
  • may provide rescue care for any pets or wildlife, such as the Wildlife Rescue & Ambulance Service
  • represent & campaign for a particular group of animals & their interests, such as Compassion for World Farming
  • provide very specialist support to animals charities, such as Snip International
  • help care for animals who've served us well and are now redundant (such as racehorse rehabilitation)
  • focus on a particular issue or a range of particular issues e.g. the Cinnamon Trust who help uphold the unique bond between animals & the elderly by providing pet care to the elderly & finding home which will take the elderly & their pets
  • may come together to tackle something they feel particularly strongly about, such as the welfare of captive animals in zoos
  • work with charities in other countries
  • look to fulflil a particular project, such as getting fencing put up in Africa (that's Rhino Ark) to protect the animals inside
  • do any or all of these things - and more
A good number of charities offer a solution to problems pet owners & animals find, such as the Cinnamon Trust in Cornwall, which finds residential care homes to take residents and their pets, thus avoiding pets being separated from their owners and even put down.

There are many opportunities to get involved, either by working for animals charities in paid employment or by volunteering for animals charities, on a regular basis or now and again.

Many charities have an international reach. While you're having a drink in the pub in Scotland or visiting your cousin in Wales, your gift to a charity or loved one could be helping animals on the other side of the world - or in your home town...
