A CAMPAIGN to celebrate the 30th anniversary of an animal rescue charity has been hailed a massive success.
The Mail teamed up with Hull Animal Welfare to help home dogs, cats and rabbits throughout the month of November to celebrate three decades of their work.
Now, thanks to our readers' kindness, dogs Kenny, Morse, Liza, Rocky, Georgie; cats Kyle, Jamie, June, Jax and Pebbles have all found loving new homes.
Sue Sewell, chairwoman of Hull Animal Welfare Trust, said: "The campaign has been an amazing success. We have certainly homed more than 30 animals during November, although not all the ones featured in the paper.
"The campaign has created an awful lot of interest.
"The kennels have been busier than normal and even if people haven't been homing animals, they have been bringing us donations."
The charity's annual fair held in Hessle also proved a massive success, with more than £2,300 raised on Saturday.
Amy Bryan, centre manager, said: "It was a great event and a really good turnout.
"It's great as we see some of the same faces each year, some of whom homed dogs from us. Some of them even bring their dogs along to say hello.
"We really appreciative everyone's help. Unfortunately, we still do see the same amount of cruelty, although it is nice to sit back and think about what we have achieved over the years."
Hull Animal Welfare Trust has come a long way since 1982 and conditions for animals and volunteers have improved immeasurably with new facilities in South Cave.
On average, the charity homes 1,000 animals annually.
As part of their 30th anniversary, the charity also set themselves the target of raising £30,000 throughout this year.
They have currently raised £25,000 and hope Mail readers can help them raise the final £5,000.
Mrs Sewell said: "It would be great if people can help us raise the £30,000."
Anyone wishing to adopt an animal should call the trust on 01430 423986.
The rescued animals can be viewed 365 days a year from 11am to 2pm at the Sunnydene Animal Shelter in Sunnydene, Pinfold, South Cave, HU15 2HE.
