The RSPCA is asking animal lovers to help needy animals and donate at the Pets at Home fundraising weekend this Valentine’s Weekend.

Every year, the charity teams up with the retailer to raise funds to help it continue to rescue and care for animals in need. This year will be no exception with customers given the opportunity to make a donation to the charity at the till throughout the weekend.

Sarah Colberg, the RSPCA’s senior corporate partnerships manager, said: “We know that many things have changed over the last year, but we’re thrilled that Pets at Home is still able to support the fundraising weekend which raises vital funds to help animals in need.

“We rescue over 100,000 animals a year and so fundraisers like this are vital in ensuring we can continue to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals in desperate need of care.”

Over 400 Pets at Home stores are taking part and last year the weekend raised £31,000 for the RSPCA.
