Find Your New Furry Family Member with Apple FM and St Giles Animal Welfare!

Apple FM are delighted to be supporting St Giles Animal Welfare fortnightly by posting a photo and information about a dog and cat in their care waiting for the right human to come along and adopt them.

St Giles are based at Wrantage and work tirelessly to rescue abused, abandoned and stray cats and dogs. The centre depends on its dedicated staff, volunteers, sponsors and donators without whom the centre could not function.

In 2025 they re-homed 253 dogs and 151 cats. The centre is always a hive of activity and we will up- date you about the goings on at the centre fortnightly. If these cuties have been lucky enough to find their forever homes by the time you read this there are many more adorable animals on the website

St Giles Animal Welfare update

Apple FM’s very own Phil Hodgson & his Husband, Johnny, have recently joined the list of warm-hearted humans who have given forever homes to animals from St Giles. Phil & Johnny have given Florence and Phoebe, two elegant cats, the chance of new life chapters.

Phil and Johnny are massive animal lovers and the two girls can expect to be thoroughly indulged and much loved. Well done Phil & Johnny! We look forward to an update on their progress in a few weeks.

St Giles received a generous donation of teddies last week. These fluffy friends bring much comfort and enrichment to the animals. A big thank you on their behalf.

Another huge thank you goes to all the pupils, parents and staff at St Mark’s Primary School Weston-Super-Mare, for collecting an abundance of pet food during their Harvest Festival. St Giles were overwhelmed by your kindness.

As you might imagine, very large amount of pet food is consumed at the centre every day. Donations are always very welcome. You can either deliver directly to St Giles at Wrantage or via their on-line wish list. There are also donation points at Sainsbury’s and Morrisons.

Many strays arrive at St Giles via the dog warden who is based at the centre. Some have gone AWOL and are speedily reunited with their owners because of the information contained on their microchips. So, just a reminder to all pet owners to make sure your pet has an identity tag on its collar and the information is correct. Don’t forget the importance of updating your furry friend’s microchip if your situation changes!
