Second Chance Rescue Kennels based in Chellaston, Derby has been awarded a £500 donation from the UK’s largest pet insurance provider, Petplan.
The local rescue centre provides shelter and support for neglected, abandoned or stray dogs from across the UK and Ireland. Giving them a better life whilst in their care and aiming to find them a loving home.
Jo Fairbrother, Manager at Second Chance Rescue said: “We are so grateful to Petplan for this £500 cheque which will help to pay our never ending vet bill. Thank you for your continuous support to help us find forever homes for our rescued animals.”
Working with more re-homing charities than any other insurer, Petplan helps fund the care of thousands of homeless cats and dogs throughout the UK.
They offer four weeks free insurance to every owner adopting pets through the shelters it supports and also offers free insurance vouchers to visitors and supporters of the charities.
Each month a prize draw is held from all the insurance vouchers issued and one charity benefits from the prize fund.
Isabella Von Mesterhazy, Head of Marketing at Petplan commented: “We are pleased to be able to provide this donation to Second Chance Rescue Kennels, they do a fantastic job caring for dogs in the community. We also understand what a difficult time it can be re-homing an animal and are glad to offer new owners four weeks free cover to give them this extra peace of mind during the first few weeks of their pet’s life in a new environment. Having your pet insured is an important part of taking care of its future health.”
Petplan is committed to aiding the valuable work that re-homing shelters do. Charities such as Battersea, Blue Cross and Dogs Trust are just a few of those that have benefited.4980 views
