Rachel has worked at the Animal Centre for over 2 years, "Unfortunately, in the New Year we have hundreds of people wanting to dump unwanted pets on us. People give pets as presents, not thinking that the cute little animal starts to grow up and needs time and money. These people soon get fed up and decide to throw the unwanted pet away and we have to pick up the pieces. I hope that our parachute jump will go some way to raising some much needed funds and to encourage people not to give pets as presents."

Neither girl has ever done anything like this before and both admit to being a little scared. They hope to make their jump on 5th November but  first they must raise £300 each. Some of this will go towards the cost of the jump, all the remaining money will go towards rescuing the unwanted Christmas animals.
