The RSPCA Bury, Oldham & District Branch covers a large area, including the towns of Ramsbottom, Rawtenstall, Bacup, Radcliffe, Shaw and Royton.
The Bury, Oldham Branch of the RSPCA looks after unwanted cats and dogs. Many of them arrive from homes that, for one reason or another, can no longer look after them.
Some are left tied up at our gates and some in boxes. Some, sadly, reach us as a result of neglect or cruelty and it takes us many months to rehabilitate these animals.

You can help us in many ways (every little thing you can do to help – WILL HELP):
You can offer time to volunteer in the animal centre or simply walk our dogs for us.
You can volunteer in one of our 10 charity shops situated in the Bury and Oldham area.
You can make donations of clothes, bric-a-brac or furniture.
You can donate animal food, bedding and towels - these are always appreciated at the animal centre.
The branch is run by staff; however we rely heavily on volunteers. We currently have nine shops, a furniture distribution centre situated in the Bury and Oldham Area and we have a rehoming centre in Oldham.
Our animal welfare work covers rehoming, assisted neutering and microchipping and also a mobile welfare veterinary clinic which goes out and about fortnightly offering greatly reduced veterinary assistance to all animal owners in receipt of certain benefits.
We also regularly fundraise and promote the profile of animal welfare issues within our area.

We do have guidelines that we follow in order for you to adopt an animal and we ask that you respect our policies as they are in the best interest of the animals. Home visits are carried out to all potential adopters and this gives us the opportunity to ensure our animals are matched to the best possible owners.
Our work does not finish once you take the animal home, we will continue to support you and the animal for as long as you need us. Please remember that pet ownership takes time, money, commitment and patience - owning a pet is likely to change your life completely.
If you already own an animal and need help or assistance please telephone us as you may qualify for some help including free microchipping and neutering.
