BARC Animal Welfare - April 2025 Update

Happy 2025 from all of us at Birkenhead Animal Welfare!

As we step into a new year, we want to say a massive thank you to you - whether you adopted, donated, volunteered, or simply supported us. Your kindness helps us rescue and care for animals who need it most.

So far this year:

50 animals sterilised (free of charge)
25 animals adopted
Fires threatened our shelter - but thanks to brave staff, White Shark Projects, and local heroes, all animals were safely evacuated (some even found forever homes because of it!)
Community kindness keeps rolling in through donations, shop support, and volunteer help

Want to help in 2025? Here’s how:
