YOU need to be dedicated to work as a member of staff or a volunteer at Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary.

But no amount of dedication and hard work will guarantee the future of the 300 animals handed in to the Stadhampton centre. The sanctuary has a proud history of helping dogs, cats and rabbits who no longer have owners to care for them.

But looking after the animals is an expensive business and the charity needs more backers if it is to remain open.
