The Society for the Protection and Re-homing of Animals (SPRA) is a small North Devon-based charity which undertakes to find loving and caring permanent homes for all animal species for the duration of their lives.

SPRA was founded in October 2000 by Stuart Ford (previously a manager at International Animal Rescue), and other committed animal enthusiasts.

We are only a small charity but are supported by a group of dedicated, caring people, and we have a 97% re-homing success rate.

At last we have opened our new shop in Queen Street, Barnstaple.

The shop has a nice bright feel to it due to the double window, a changing room and a good size store room in the back.

We have rails of good quality clothing at reasonable prices, so come in and find a bargain!

We are your local animal re-homing charity incorporating rehabilitation in your home.

SPRA is mainly funded by its four charity shops:

• Potacre Street, Torrington

• Allhalland Street, Bideford

• Queen Street, Barnstaple

• Blenheim Road, Minehead

We accept all items of clean clothing, bric-a-brac, books, CDs, videos, DVDs, toys and small items of furniture. We also collect by appointment.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TOO!
