ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS SOLENT BRANCH 

RSPCA Solent Branch covers 400 square miles of Hampshire and operates The Stubbington Ark Animal Centre in Fareham. We support the inspectorate to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome and release back to the wild injured, abandoned, mistreated and stray animals/wildlife. As a separately registered Branch of the RSPCA, we are responsible for raising our own funds to deliver our vital animal welfare work.
