PDSA Charity
PDSA is a leading veterinary charity and provides free veterinary care for the sick and injured pets of those unable to afford veterinary fees including promoting responsible pet ownership.
This year PDSA PetAid hospitals and branches will provide more than 1.8 million free treatments and more than 200,000 preventive treatments, such as vaccinations, neutering and microchipping. In addition, more than 36,000 pets are registered for PDSA-funded veterinary care through PetAid practices.
In 2009 delivery of PDSA PetAid services will cost more than £50 million. The PDSA charity is funded entirely by public support; mainly donations, gifts in wills and trading. PDSA operates 177 charity shops UK-wide and is supported by 4,800 volunteers.
You can help the PDSA in a number of ways; either as a volunteer, a legacy gift, regular or one-off donations, online shopping or if you are young enough by joining the Young PDSA Pet Protectors Club. You can help PDSA help sick and injured animals in a host of different ways; your time, talents, skills and donations are invaluable and always very much appreciated. For pets in need of vets!
