How you can help       There are many ways that you can help us at the shelter, these are listed below. Please follow the links for more information.       Provide a home for an animal friend. Please see our rehoming page for the animals currently looking for homes. Sponsor an animal at the shelter for £1 a week. Please see our sponsor page for the animals that live permanently at the shelter due to ill health or other problems. These animals are unable to be re-homed. Become a member - You can become a member of the shelter for £15 (single) or 25 (family) per year. You will receive a keyring, a car window sticker and four newsletters a year. Please contact the shelter if you would like to become a member. Monthly donations - You could set up a standing order to contribute a monthly donation. If you donate £5 or more each month you will also become member and receive our newsletters. Volunteer at the shelter - We are looking for volunteers to help with the cleaning and feeding duties at the shelter. There are many different types of animals that all require different feeding and cleaning duties. Please see our volunteer page and find out more. Socialising with the animals - We have many animals at the sanctuary and some are very timid and nervous. We are looking for people to spend time with the cats, kittens, rabbits and guinea pigs, playing and building socialising skills. This is very rewarding and will help the animals when they are ready for rehoming. This task would suit you if you only have a short amount of time. Help at our Open Days - Do you have any spare time to help us at our open days? we need help with manning stalls, car park attendants, manning the entrance, serving tea, putting up tents and marques, putting up posters. Please see our events page for our next open day and contact the shelter if you would like to help us. We run 3 open days a year to raise money for the running of the shelter. Fundraising - We are always in need of fundraisers to raise money for the running of the shelter. Please see our fundraising page for ideas of how you could help us to fundraise. Any unwanted items? - We are always looking for unwanted items to sell at our open days. These include bric-a-brac, books, cds/tapes, childrens toys, anything really apart from clothing and shoes. Remember the animals in your will - please contact the sanctuary for the legacy leaflet which will outline factors involved in making changes to your will and how to make a bequest to the Yorkshire Animal Shelter. We need help displaying our posters - We are looking for people to help us put up posters about the shelter. Please contact us if you can help.
