Animal rescue – Rehabilitation – Rehoming

We pride ourselves  on the quality of care each individual animal receives. 

We ensure each animal receives  appropriate vet care, including specialist referral as required. 

Each animal assessed for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to rehoming.

To ensure we can  accommodate animals requiring rescue we utilise a network of foster homes 

We also use  placements with other specialist rescue centres if required.

Not all rescues can be rehabilitated and any animal that is assessed by a vet to need to be euthanized  will be humanely euthanized.

Any animal that cannot be rehomed  due to health / behavioural issues will be retired at the charity.
