The Largest RSPCA Animal Shelter in the Country
Open daily between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm
Viewing the animals 10.00 am - 3.30 pm

RSPCA Solent Branch runs the Stubbington Ark Animal Shelter, the Stubbington Ark Charity shop in Fareham, the RSPCA Veterinary Clinic and the Swaythling Centre in Southampton.

The Stubbington Ark is the focus for local RSPCA animal welfare services covering 400sq.miles including the Portsmouth and Southampton area.  It provides shelter for all manner of animals, domestic, wildlife, farm stock and exotics and there are usually more than 500 animals on site at any one time.  As you can imagine our running costs are extremely high and we have to raise £3,000 per day to keep the shelter running and consequently at times funds can be extremely limited.

To keep the Ark afloat we rely on the generosity of our supporters and the business community.

If you are looking for a pet, please visit the shelter. We do not give out any further details over the phone or keep waiting lists.
We are open for viewing between 
10.00am and 3.00pm every day.

If you are seriously considering adopting a pet, you will be asked to fill in one of our questionnaires
and you must have proof of address with you.
