The Shelter is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to accept animals.
Anyone delivering an animal into the care of the BSPCA must fill in an Animal Acceptance Form, regardless of the animal’s circumstances, whether it is a stray or a pet. This gives the Society responsibility for the animal and the authority to deal with it in the most appropriate manner for its future welfare.
There is no time limit on the number of days, weeks or months an animal will be kept at the Shelter – each animal is assessed regularly on an individual basis. The BSPCA tries to find suitable homes for as many as possible of the homeable animals in its care.
Once an animal has been given to the Shelter it will NOT be returned to the person who handed it in under any circumstances and information will not be given out. The BSPCA reserves the right to provide a pain-free humane end for the animal ifa new home cannot be found.
We can collect animals but due to a shortage of staff, unless the animal is secured/on a lead and in an area (such as a room/garage) where it cannot run away, the Society is not able to come and collect animals.

Care must be taken when approaching the animal as many stray and/or injured animals can be unpredictable.If the animal is too wild to catch then please call the police or your local municipality. Alternatively you can hire a cat or dog trap from the BSPCA. If the animal is wearing a collar and looks well fed but is found wandering in the street then it is more than likely somebody’s pet and they will be searching for it. If the animal has been micro-chipped thena scanner will be used to find out its details.
The BSPCA has dog and cats traps which can be hired out to members of the public to assist in the capture of animals. There is a refundable deposit of BD 75 for dog traps and BD 50 for cat traps (in the past people have not returned the traps hence the need for a deposit) and a daily hire charge of BD 1 per trap per day payable after the first day of hire.
