SUPERHEROES
We are extremely grateful to the
many dogs, cats and their owners
in our blood donor family. Their
commitment to regularly give blood,
saves lives. Here are just a few of
the lifesavers and sight-savers too,
who have donated over the years…

exists at all. You never know when your pet might need a
blood transfusion” – owner Peter. Spike
“He absolutely loves donating! Even through lockdown
when we couldn’t go into the hospital with him, he would
skip in to see his favourite nurse without a thought for us
waiting outside!" – owner Katie.
