The Blue Cross Wins £6000 Prize


British animal welfare charity The Blue Cross has won a £6000 prize for helping sick animals in London’s most deprived areas. The Blue Cross website informs that the prize money will be used to fund their mobile veterinary clinic that is part of the charity’s Victoria animal hospital where hundreds of animals receive treatment annually. The Blue Cross thanked everyone who voted for them to get the prize and help animals in need of treatment.

The Blue Cross helps a large number of animals on an ongoing basis, including rescuing animals from life-threatening situations and providing emergency treatment to animals surviving trauma of different types. Many of their rescued animals are adopted out to loving homes. A recent example is Sandy, a seriously ill homeless cat, suffering from asthma and heart condition, that was found and treated medically by The Blue Cross. When Sandy got better, he was adopted out to a caring family where he will spend his coming Christmas.

The Blue Cross depends on help from caring people to help pets. There are a number of ways in which you may help. To help, visit now the How Can You Help page on their website!

Zak and Lily are Home!


One of the most wonderful groups working for animal wellbeing is The Blue Cross, a charity based in the United Kingdom. It tells heart-warming real-life stories of pets finding another chance at life. In their latest newsletter, they tell about a blind dog Zak and his guide friend Lily, both waiting for some loving, caring family to adopt them. And that is what they got.

The pair was adopted by Elaine and Steve Pickering, one of the 200 callers who asked about adopting the dog pair. The couple drove all the way from Littleborough, Greater Manchester to Devon to meet their pet friends and took them home with great love and care. It was a happy ending to the story of Zak who was left to The Blue Cross by his owner because she was emigrating and could not take Zak along. So finally, Zak and Lily found a home where they can be part of the family and live life as they would ask for.

The Blue Cross is a wonderful place to adopt a pet and welcome them into your family. Visit their adoption page now to see who needs your care and attention.
