The RSPCA Solent Branch or The Stubbington Ark as we are more commonly known is the focus for local animal welfare services covering 400 sq.miles including the Portsmouth and Southampton area. The Stubbington Ark provides care, rehabilitation and rehoming for all manner of animals, domestic, wildlife, farm stock and exotics and there are usually more than 250 animals on site at any one time. The Stubbington Ark is a separately registered branch which comes under the umbrella of the RSPCA. We are completely self-funded, being primarily responsible for raising funds locally. We operate autonomously from the central charity, whilst still following national guidelines.
