Sponsor a Kennel
Pawporate Kennel Sponsorship
Our Pawporate Kennel Sponsorship Program
The Destitute Animals Shelter is a long-established Charitable Trust, founded over 100 years ago by four compassionate Bolton residents who offered up a home to care for destitute cats and dogs in the local area.
Since then, the shelter has evolved alongside the community moving from Vernon Street in the 1970s to our current site on Northolt Drive. As demand for our services continues to grow, we have now outgrown our premises and are actively seeking new opportunities to expand our reach and help even more animals in need.
We are deeply committed to animal welfare. Many of the dogs and cats who arrive at our shelter have experienced neglect, abuse, or abandonment. Our priority is to provide them with a safe, calm, and caring environment while they recover and wait for their forever homes.
You care. They heal. Lives change.
Why partner with us
At The Destitute Animals Shelter, we rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome over 500 cats and dogs every year. We operate a non-destruction policy and ensure that every animal we rehome is neutered, helping to reduce the cycle of unwanted animals in the Bolton area.
We receive no government funding and rely entirely on donations, sponsorships, and fundraising to continue our work. Corporate sponsorship plays a vital role in allowing us to plan, maintain high standards of care, and ensure long-term sustainability.
By becoming a corporate kennel sponsor, your business will be directly supporting vulnerable local animals while demonstrating strong community values and corporate social responsibility.
Pawporate Kennel Sponsorship – £500 per year.
For £500 per year, your business will help us cover essential day-to-day costs, including:
- Veterinary treatment and health checks
- Nutritious food tailored to individual dietary needs
- Clean, safe, and comfortable accommodation
All animal enclosures are fully disinfected daily, with fresh bedding provided to ensure a warm and secure environment. We work closely with local veterinary practices to ensure all animals leaving our care are vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and health-checked.
What Your Business Will Receive
As a Corporate Kennel Sponsor, your business will benefit from:
- Promotion on our social media platforms, reaching an engaged audience of over 41,000 followers
- Public recognition as a supporter of The Destitute Animals Shelter
- Updates on the animals your sponsorship helps support
- A personalised section on our kennel sponsorship board in reception with your logo and company details.
- Association with a respected local charity with over a century of history
Your sponsorship highlights your business’s commitment to animal welfare, community support, and ethical responsibility – values that resonate strongly with customers and clients.
A Partnership That Makes a Real Difference
Monthly corporate sponsorship allows us to budget effectively and plan for the future, ensuring consistent care for the animals who rely on us. Sponsorships can be stopped at any time, offering flexibility while making a meaningful impact.
There has never been a better time for your business to support local animals and become part of our mission.
Rescue. Love. Repeat.

How do I set up the Direct Debit for my kennel sponsorship?
You can set up your Direct Debit by completing our sponsorship form online and then completing your direct debit details with GoCardless. If you want to sponsor more than one kennel, or if you want to pay more to sponsor a kennel, we can send you a specific link to set this up.
What information do I need to provide to start the Direct Debit?
We will need your business name, contact details, bank account name, sort code, and account number. All information is handled securely and in line with data protection requirements.
When will the first payment be taken from our account?
The first payment is usually collected within 10–14 working days of the Direct Debit being set up. We will notify you in advance of the exact date.
Will we receive confirmation once the Direct Debit is active?
Yes. You will receive written, email confirmation from Destitute Animals Shelter, and from GoCardless confirming the payment amount, schedule, and the date of the first collection.
Who do we contact if our bank details change?
Please inform Destitute Animals Shelter as soon as possible by email or phone so we can update your Direct Debit safely and avoid any missed payments.
Is the Direct Debit covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee?
Yes. All payments are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee, which means you are entitled to an immediate refund from your bank in the unlikely event of an error.
Can we cancel the Direct Debit at any time?
Yes. You may cancel your Direct Debit directly with your bank at any time. We would appreciate you letting us know so we can update our records and discuss other ways you might wish to continue supporting us.
Will we receive receipts or invoices for accounting purposes?
Yes. We can provide invoices, receipts, or annual statements to support your business accounting requirements.
What happens if a payment fails or is returned unpaid?
If a payment is not successful, we will contact you to let you know and to arrange a convenient way to resolve the missed instalment.
Can more than one kennel be sponsored under the same Direct Debit?
Yes. Multiple kennels can be sponsored through a single Direct Debit, and we can tailor a package to reflect your level of support. You will need to contact us to arrange a specific agreement in order to set this up for you.
Is there a minimum sponsorship term or commitment period?
We welcome ongoing support, but there is no fixed contract period unless you choose an annual package. You remain in control of your payments.
How will the sponsorship appear on our bank statement?
Payments will appear with a reference to Destitute Animals Shelter so they are easy to identify.
Who should we contact with questions about our payments?
