The Blue Cross - Day At An Adoption Centre

A day at a Blue Cross adoption centre

Early in the morning
We let the animals out into their runs & walk the dogs

Checking the horses Most of our horses and ponies live outside in small herds. We need to check they are well and see to their rugs if they wear them.

Feeding time All animals are catered for individually. Some may also be on medication which needs to be given regularly and recorded.

Cleaning We clean out thoroughly every morning and then clean up any poo as it occurs throughout the day.

Opening time The public keep us busy with enquiries and by rehoming our animals

Training Training makes animals easier to rehome and keeps their minds active whilst they are staying with us.

Playing Play is an important exercise for the mind and body and keeps the animals happy.

Grooming Grooming helps to keep the fur clean, it gets the animal used to being handled and we can give them a health check at the same time.

Health care All our animals are checked by a vet and treatment is given, if necessary. All dogs, cats, horses and rabbits are microchipped All dogs, cats, rabbits and male horses are neutered before rehoming.

We feed again in the late afternoon

Another toilet break for the dogs Volunteers help the regular staff to look after the animals

Bed time Each adoption centre has staff on site overnight to check on the animals and to keep them safe
