💙 We are completely blown away... 💙
We have some news that has absolutely brought a tear to our eyes (the good kind!). RSPCA Felledge has been nominated for Animal Rescue Centre of the Year (North East). 🐾
To whoever nominated us: thank you. You have no idea how much this means to the whole team, especially right now.
If we are being completely honest, it’s been a tough few months behind the scenes. While we always try to put on a brave, positive face for the animals and for all of you, we’ve been facing a few hurdles lately:
🔸We are currently battling a stubborn leak in one of our main kennel blocks. It’s requiring a lot of work to fix, which unfortunately means some of our kennels are temporarily out of action, limiting how many dogs we can take in right now.
🔸We’ve recently said goodbye to some incredible, key staff members. The amazing news is they’ve been promoted into new roles within the wider RSPCA family, we are so proud of them! But it does mean the rest of our team is currently acting like ducks on water: trying to look calm and collected on the surface, but paddling frantically underneath to keep everything moving.
This nomination couldn't have come at a better time. It is the ultimate boost to our spirits and a reminder of why we do what we do, even when the days are long and the challenges feel heavy.
🗳️ How you can help us cross the finish line!
If you’ve ever adopted from us, supported us, or just appreciate the hard work our team puts in every single day, we would be endlessly grateful if you could spare a minute to cast a vote for us.
