How You Can Help

Support Us

There are usually more than 600 animals on site at any one time and we have to raise over £3,000 per day to keep the shelter running. Please help us to help local animals in need. There are lots of different ways in which you can support our work. The following pages will give you some ideas.


  • Safe Haven safehaven-logo.gif

For around the cost of a Sunday newspaper each week, you can sponsor a dog kennel, cat cabin or small animal unit and help give the animals in the care of the Stubbington Ark the chance of a better future.

Our postal address is 174-176 Ranvilles Lane, Stubbington, Fareham, Hampshire, PO14 3EZ


We are always in need of blankets, duvet covers, pillowcases and towels (sorry, no DUVETS or PILLOWS) which we will use for bedding for the animals.

We always need newspapers for use in cleaning the animal accommodation. Excess newspapers can be sold for a small sum which is again used in running the shelter. So we can never have too much newspaper and any amount you can deliver to us will help tremendously.

We also collect used printer cartridges, mobile phones, used postage stamps, foreign currency and broken costume/semi precious jewellery.

Donations of pet food is always welcome.  Sainsbury Supermarket in Broadcut, Fareham and Shirley, Southampton collect food donations for us in store, so if you regularly shop there, look out for the trolley.

We sell food, toys, beds and many other goods for your pets in our reception foyer.  All the profit made from selling these items is put towards running the shelter. So every time you buy from us, you are helping the animals.

Encourage every one you know to have their cats and dogs neutered. This will reduce the numbers of unwanted animals coming into the shelter in the first place.

If you know of anyone looking for an animal, please ask them to visit us to see if they can give a needy animal a good and loving home.
