We're now based in Brynamman, so check the contact page for our new phone number.

APPEAL
The rescue has never been self-funding. The shortfall was met by our family but with a dip in donations, we face difficult times. Our feed bill is £180+ per week. We always need rabbit, ferret, horse, hamster, cat, and dog food. Vet bills hit £2000+ in one month. We're grateful for anything, however small, (cash or food donations).

We'd like to thank Burns and Black Mountain Animal Supplies for help and donation.

Name our girls: We need to name the girls recently found dumped so if anyone wants to make a donation (suggested min: £1.50) on PayPal with your favourite name attached, the most popular names will be picked.

We now have leads, collars, feed scoops, dog and cat beds, squeaky toys, for sale. All proceeds to the animals. Please consider ordering a cool SWAR fundraiser key ring (with rescue pics) or a rosetta with "I support SWAR" on the tail.

We always need help with:

1. Fundraising - Can you donate, organise a raffle, or collect / post unwanted or old mobile phones for South Wales Animal Rescue?

2. Grants / funding - Do you know of any opportunity for us to seek short-term funding?

3. Letter writing to local papers / radio stations / TV stations to raise awareness

4. We're in the Brynamman fete on July the 12th. Volunteers for the stall would be welcome
