We're thrilled to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful people who joined us for our much-anticipated Open Day event at Danaher Animal Home on Sunday 3rd September 2023. It was a day filled with joy, furry friends, and unwavering support for animal welfare. Let's take a moment to relive the highlights of this special day!
One of the star attractions of our Open Day was the enchanting dog shows. These talented canines left us all spellbound with their skills and charm. From the "Waggiest Tail" to "Best Rescue," our furry participants competed for various titles and stole our hearts.
Our diverse array of stalls had something for everyone. Whether you were looking for unique goodies or information about adopting a furry family member, our stalls had it all. Our dedicated staff were on hand to answer questions and guide those interested in giving a loving home to an animal in need. Your curiosity and engagement in our mission were truly heart-warming.
We're delighted to announce that our Open Day wasn't just a day of fun; it was a day with a purpose. Thanks to your generous contributions, we raised an incredible £8000! These funds will be used to help countless animals in need, providing them with the care, love, and support they deserve. Your participation made a tangible difference, and we can't thank you enough for your generosity.
Our Open Day was a resounding success, thanks to your enthusiastic participation. Your presence and support remind us of the love, companionship, and joy that animals bring into our lives. We are immensely grateful for your commitment to our cause and your dedication to making this event a tremendous success.
As we bid adieu to this wonderful day, we eagerly look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Together, we can continue making a positive impact on the lives of animals in need. Thank you for being a part of our community and for celebrating with us on this memorable day.

Danaher Animal Home is delighted to announce that we will be trialling the reopening of our doors to the public, commencing this THURSDAY 1st JUNE.
After careful consideration and thoughtful deliberation, we have concluded that although the closure has created a calmer and more serene environment for our animals during the COVID pandemic, it is imperative that we provide them with every available opportunity to find their forever homes as swiftly as possible.
Our opening hours will be from 11am to 3pm, with the exception of Wednesdays when we will remain closed. It is no longer necessary to book an appointment; however, we kindly require that you complete an Animal Interest Form online before your visit. We eagerly anticipate the pleasure of seeing you all once again!
In recent months we have seen a large increase in the amount of abandoned animals ending up in our care due to the cost of living crisis, with owners being unable to afford to keep their pets.
Our General Manager, Sam Garvey, discusses the impact this is having with reporters from The Times. Watch the full video here:

The increase in animals, often with medical problems due to owners not being able to afford vet fees, puts extra strain on our limited resources. Please consider making a donation today to enable us to help more of the growing number of animals who have been left to fend for themselves.
