What we do

We work with all domestic animals and do our best to find unwanted animals loving homes. We are big on de-sexing and trying to reduce the numbers of unwanted puppies, kittens etc. being born each year.

We also aim to educate owners in how to care for and look after their animals properly. We are happy to offer practical support, basic training and advice to help them care for their animals.

We’re here to help

Although we are not a drop off centre, and we run purely on the amazing support of our communities, if you have an animal you can’t care for please speak to us and we’ll see what we can do to help.

Every animal deserves to be happy, healthy and loved.
