When personal circumstances change, owners are sometimes faced with the distressing decision of whether to part from their cherished pets.  It is at this time that The Stubbington Ark may be able to help.

The cattery, kennels and small animal sections are always full so it is difficult to accommodate new animals at short notice.  For this reason, we encourage owners to plan ahead for their pet’s future.

Please think very carefully before signing your pet into our care.  Once the irreversible decision has been made, your pet will be rehomed and no details of the new owners can be released.

We ask owners to telephone the shelter on (01329) 667541, between the hours of 10.00am – 4.00pm, where a receptionist will ask a number of questions for consideration before the animal is booked in.  We ask owners to be as honest as possible with regard to their pet’s temperament as this will find them a new home as quickly as possible.

The costs of caring for unwanted animals are escalating and we ask that in return for our help owners make a small contribution towards these costs.
