Gloucestershire housing company partners with animal sanctuary
Newland homes will be funding the rescue of an animal for every house sold at their new development
Barnwood-based housebuilder Newland Homes has teamed up with Teckels Animal Sanctuary in Whitminster to help rehome rescue animals.
For every home sold at the company’s new Upton’s Garden development in Whitminster, the company will fund a rescue animal on its journey to find a loving, forever home.
Teckels Animal Sanctuary rescues and rehomes hundreds of animals each year, relying heavily on donations and community support.
Since 2003, the independent charity has provided a safe haven for around 250 homeless cats and dogs each year.
Jane Grendall, Site Manager for Newland Homes at Upton’s Gardens said: “This initiative allows us to celebrate new beginnings, both for the families moving into our homes and for the animals Teckels works so hard to care for and rehome.
“I’ve personally used Teckels for boarding my dogs and they have looked after them as if they were their own.
“As a team of animal lovers, this partnership means a lot to us.”
The housebuilder launched its collection of zero carbon homes in the village of Whitminster last month and the development has enjoyed a strong start, with three of the homes already reserved.
Chelsea Rogers from Teckels Animal Sanctuary commented: “It’s wonderful to see a local business whose team are passionate about animals.
“The Home for a Home initiative will make a real difference, not just financially, but by raising awareness of the need for rescue animals to find safe, loving homes.”
