The impact you have by taking part
For over 150 years, the JSPCA has been caring for the Island’s animals - rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming domestic animals and rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing wildlife.
We receive no government funding and rely entirely on the generosity of the community, local businesses, and supporters like you to keep our services running 24/7, 365 days a year. Each year we need to raise over £2 million to continue our vital work.
We are independent from the RSPCA in the UK and every penny raised stays on the Island to help local animals.
Our mission is to prevent cruelty, promote knowledge, and provide care for aged, sick, lost and unwanted animals in Jersey.
With your support, in 2025 we:
- Cared for over 1,200 wildlife animals, including more than 190 hand-raised baby wildlife.
- Successfully rehomed over 120 domestic animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even some exotic pets.
Your support makes this possible - by taking part in events like the Bark Run, you’re making a meaningful difference to animals in need.
Dogs are welcome at the finish line to cheer on runners, but for safety reasons they are not permitted on the course due to the size of the crowd. Owners remain responsible for their dogs at all times and should only bring dogs that are comfortable in busy environments and around other dogs and people.
