This video has been kindly produced by JBP Media free of charge

What is the Safe Haven scheme?

Our autumn fair in 2002 saw the launch of our Safe Haven scheme. It is designed to enable individuals, families and friends to sponsor animal accommodation at the centre. Our Safe Haven scheme is vital to the survival of the animal centre and is making such a significant difference to helping animals in their hour of need.

How can I join the scheme?

The scheme is flexible and easy to join. Just fill out the secure online form with your details, choose the kind of animal accommodation you wish to sponsor and decide if the membership is for you or if you would like it as a gift for someone. We will then post you a standing order form which you will just need to complete, sign and return in the stamped addressed envelope. Alternatively, if you would rather print off a form yourself and return it to the animal centre, please click here.

Where is my donation spent?

Your regular donation goes directly to helping the animals in the care of the RSPCA Chesterfield & North Derbyshire branch. All sponsors are assigned a cat pen, dog kennel or rabbit hutch depending on your individual preference.

We will reward your kindness by:

Displaying your name in our Roll of Honour book which is in the foyer at our animal centre and reproduced on our website
Sending you a twice yearly Safe Haven supporters' newsletter
Giving you a Safe Haven car sticker
Giving you a Safe Haven certificate
Inviting you to open days

Sheena's Story

RSPCA Inspectors are not easily shocked, however the sight that greeted Inspector Michael Scargill when he made a call about a white German Shepherd will stick in his mind for the rest of his professional career.

Sheba when she first arrived at the animal centre

As he entered the property, deeply sunken eyes stared out of the emaciated face of a middle aged skeletal white German Shepherd Dog called Sheena.

Animal cruelty can come in many forms and the automatic assumption in this case was that Sheena has been virtually starved to death. However once Sheena had been welcomed into a Safe Haven that is the Chesterfield RSPCA animal centre and after numerous tests and vets appointments it was found that Sheena was suffering from an untreated medical condition.

After eight months of one to one intensive care Sheena after months of care and treatment

Sheena made a full recovery and has made a wonderful family pet.

Her new owner said: "Sheena is a very loyal and happy dog with a constantly wagging tail. She loves to play with her two new companions and is learning new tricks and commands all the time. She has fitted in well into family life enjoying car journeys, outings and walks."
