Its aim is to take in as many sick, distressed and unwanted animals as possible and restore them to health and happiness. The animals are kept on a 26 acre farm where they are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and given any other medical assistance necessary. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals are then placed in secure and loving vetted homes. Horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and geese spend their natural lives at Foal Farm. No healthy animal is ever destroyed, and if no home can be found the animal becomes a resident for the rest of its life. Foal Farm relies entirely on voluntary contributions, legacies and money made from fund raising events.

We take in all creatures, from cats and dogs to equines, livestock and wildlife. Our kennels are constantly filled from two main sources: local rescue dogs, and the Welsh 'pound dogs' saved from their death row sentence. For many it truly is their Last Chance. We rescue dogs, cats and small furries of all ages. As a result of our success, we are permanently looking for loving homes. We re-home to most areas of the UK. We carry out home checks. We operate a non destruction policy.

A high standard of accommodation, care and clinical cleanliness is provided and maintained at all times and any veterinary treatment sought at the earliest opportunity. Under no circumstances is any animal destroyed unless in a qualified medical practitioners opinion it is required on medical grounds. No animal is re-homed until a representative of TAG Pet Rescue has visited the home of a potential adopter and deemed it suitable. No animal is re-homed in order to make space or in an emergency unless the new home meets TAG Pet Rescue criteria. Adoption forms must be completed and signed before any animal is allowed to leave the care of TAG Pet Rescue.

It currently operates in south-east London and north-west Kent, providing re-homing of unwanted and ill-treated animals in these regions, and has approximately 1000 members. The Charity is run entirely by volunteers who work for no payment, our only source of income is from the annual subscription that our members pay, and donations from the public. The rest of our funds are raised by our members through jumble sales, car boot sales, raffles and sponsored events. Therefore all funds are spent very carefully to provide the much needed help and care for as many animals as possible. The Charity has a number of members who foster animals in their own homes, which are cared for until a suitable, permanent home can be found where they can receive the love and care that they so rightly deserve. All prospective homes are subject to a home check and then a follow up visit is always made to check on the animals progress. We also help to look after many stray and feral cats in the area. Arrangements are also made for animals to be spayed or neutered to help control the population of unwanted pets. The Charity operates a non-destruction policy and offer Pet Bereavement Scheme. This is a telephone service where bereaved pet owners can find help, support and a sympathetic ear. Homes wanted for all domestic pets - cats, kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters etc. Fundraising - Can you turn your talents to running a stall, arranging a boot fair, arranging a Quiz Night and donating some of the proceed to the Charity. Transport - Spare an hour or more occasionally to assist with a pet taxi service to assist the elderly or disabled when their pet needs a visit to the Vets. Newsletter - Do you have editorial talents to produce our quarterly Newsletter and help in it's distribution, by post to our various outlets? Help produce a news column for a junior section. Submit ideas, items, puzzles, poems, stories.

Registered Charity No: 295345 Contact the North-west Kent Area office on: 01474 703542 Labrador Rescue Kent and Borders Cranbrook, Kent Labrador Rescue Kent and Borders is a Registered Charity (No.1067495) formed in 1997 which aims to recover, rehabilitate and rehome any Labrador Retriever in the County of Kent and its borders that has been ill-treated, neglected or whose owners can no longer keep it. We are not directly associated with any other Labrador Rescue Organisation but will try to assist any, which may contact us for help. Labrador Rescue Kent and Borders does not normally have homeless Labradors waiting in kennels to be rehomed. If circumstances allow, the owner of the Labrador which requires rehoming, continues to keep the dog until the right home is found. However, if the dog needs to be removed immediately from the home for whatever the reason, Labrador Rescue Kent and Borders can arrange for the dog to be placed in a foster home approved by us. We are always grateful to these foster families for their care and if you could help us in this way please contact your local helper. Labrador Rescue Kent and Borders Cranbrook Kent TN17 3NA Tel : 01580 720408 Email: LabRescueKent@aol.com Kent Greyhound Rescue Folkstone, Kent We are a Welfare organisation as well as a Rescue and in general receive our dogs as a result of emergency appeals from other parts of the country, where the dogs WILL be put to sleep unless an independent charity steps in and agrees to fund and ultimately rehome the dogs. Some of the hounds come into rescue in the most appalling condition whilst others are saved within hours of a certain death. All of these hounds will receive the same care from us until they are finally ready to be rehomed. There are thousands of hounds being destroyed every year, and not always humanely, after being discarded by the racing industry. This starts with the pups and young dogs who don't make the grade to race, the ones with medical problems that need veterinary care, the failed racers or those that turn their head on the track and finally the ones the trainers put to sleep as it's easier and cheaper than trying to rehome them. We receive absolutely no funding from the racing industry and have to fund raise every penny to help save the lives of the dogs in our care ourselves. We place very shut down and withdrawn dogs in their care and in a very short space of time, they are different dogs, full of fun and affection. Please do consider sponsoring a kennel. Kent Greyhound Rescue Donations are always welcome. If you wish to make a donation by cheque, please send to: The Treasurer, Kent Greyhound Rescue, New Pound Farm House, The Street, Newington, Kent CT18 8AU. Cheques should be made payable to Kent Greyhound Rescue. Dog Rescues in LancashireCumbria

East Midlands Dog Rescue have been rescuing and rehoming abandoned and unwanted dogs and puppies for almost 20 years. The rescue centre and kennels are based in Enderby, Leicestershire, but we take dogs in from all over the East Midlands and beyond. Among the many breeds regularly looking for new homes are often retired Greyhounds and Lurchers. Most of the dogs are cared for in our kennels whilst we try to find loving new homes by appeals on our website and in local newspapers. Some of the dogs have been neglected or have suffered abuse and need sensitive handling. Others require prompt veterinary attention and operations. Fortunately, we have a dedicated team of foster mums and dads and we also receive excellent support from our vets and nursing staff. Together we are able to save many dogs and puppies that may not have been given a chance in life. On average we help over 200 dogs and puppies each year. We ensure all dogs placed with us are spayed/neutered to help prevent more unwanted litters of puppies. Advertising costs, food bills and vet fees are paid for by EMDR who hold weekly fundraising events. Each member of the group works towards the same goals and we hope to be able to offer help to all dogs and puppies that find themselves, for whatever reason, needing a friend.

Most Boxers come to us due to marriage break ups, the rest are because of a mixture of ignorance, death of owners and misunderstanding of the breed. Whatever the reason we are only to happy to help as the welfare of boxers is our only priority. We always do our homework first and match the dog to thier new forever family.We never have dogs to view! Every home is thoroughly checked out and once anyone adopts a boxer from us they become part of this ever increasing boxer family. We never lose touch. We ask for photos and updates from every new home periodically, and we send out news letters once a year. We have a Funday once a year when all new owners and their beloved dogs are invited to take part in a super day out. This is our main fund raising event of the year thus enabling us to continue the good work. We are solely funded by donations and administered entirely by voluntary helpers, without whom LETBR would not be what it is today. Doris Banham Dog Rescue North Hykeham, Lincoln Doris Banham was a dedicated animal lover throughout her life who sadly died in November 2001. The following year in June 2002 her daughter, Trudie James, decided to honour her life and dedication to animals by establishing The Doris Banham Sanctuary. The charity was set up to help all animals, but as we became increasingly aware of the heart breaking needless destruction of unclaimed dogs in dog pounds, we vowed to help them and the charity has developed to provide an essential life saving rescue service for these forgotten dogs. We are a non-profit organisation and rely totally on fundraising and donations to save these animals. Dogs are kept in kennels and foster homes around the area so check the contact list.

As a small rescue we are dependant on goodwill and volunteers who open their homes to foster a dog in need, donate dog food or items, spread the word to search for good homes and above all, offer a homeless dog their home for life. We neuter the dogs in our care prior to adoption (with the exception of puppies or if there are medical grounds not to do so at the time) Additionally our dogs have received at least one vaccination, are microchipped, aswell as flea and worm treated. Our phone bills, transport costs and general running costs, on top of vet bills, mean we are always grateful for any contribution made. We carry out home checks to ensure the home meets the dogs needs and may also ask for vet reference. We do not discriminate against a dog on age or health. We aim to give a truthful description of the dog to the best of our knowledge and assessment For homechecking purposes we do prefer that prospective adopters live within London or surrounding counties. However, if we have a dog with very specific needs then we may be prepared to travel further afield for the right home For all general enquiries e-mail enquiries@rescueremedies.co.uk or phone 07794 362712 Dog Rescues in NorfolkCambridgeshire

Since 1995 we have helped and found homes for many dogs that have come our way, and now we have
set up Hillside Dog Rescue to place many more in loving, permanent homes.
To avoid further unnecessary breeding we will, of course, ensure that all dogs coming into our care will be
neutered; also vaccinated and microchipped, and we always carry out a home check. We have several
dogs in our care, including some strays rescued from death row in pounds from across the country.
One of our main aims in setting up Hillside Dog Rescue is to encourage
would-be dog owners to give a home to a rescued dog and not to support dog breeders by buying a puppy.
We will care for ALL our rescued dogs until we can find them a suitable home.
Dogs needing homes at Hillside Animal Sanctuary
To feed and care for a rescued dog and provide all necessary veterinary treatments
(including neutering), costs an average of &#pound;300 before we can find a suitable home.
We therefore ask adopters for a minimum donation of &#pound;100 towards this expense.
Please note that we are only able to rehome dogs in the Norfolk area.
Hillside Animal Sanctuary Hill Top Farm, Hall Lane, Frettenham, Norwich, NR12 7LT UK Tel: 01603 736 200 Meadowgreen Dog Rescue Centre Loddon, Norfolk Meadowgreen has been established for 15 years and since July 2004 has been under new ownership. We are a family run, privately owned non-charity funded centre. Last year we rehomed over 200 dogs. We have 42 kennels and are full most of the time. We have rescue dogs in all shapes, sizes and ages. Most of our dogs will make ideal family pets. Dogs needing homes at Meadowgreen If you are thinking of offering a rescue dog a home you will be required to have a home check done for suitability and there are certain breeds that we require to be rehomed with people that already have experience of that breed. Unfortunately it is our policy that dogs cannot be rehomed to families with children under five, as it must be remembered that the vast majority of our dogs are rescued and therefore we have little or no history on them. All our dogs receive professional veterinary treatment when required and are vaccinated. Our opening times are 11am to 3:00pm. six days a week - we are closed on Mondays (including Bank Hols) - and we are easy to find just off the A146 Norwich to Lowestoft road, approximately two miles after Loddon (heading to Lowestoft) take the right turn into Wash Lane and we are signposted from there. We are always very pleased to see dogwalkers. A nice walk across the common can make such a difference to a dog. Dogwalking takes place between 11a.m. and 2p.m. on weekdays. Why not come along and join our happy band of volunteers?

CARE Dog Rescue is a small, family run, non-profit organisation, dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of dogs.
Located in Norfolk, we cover Norfolk, Suffolk and into northern Cambridge. We take in unwanted, abandoned or
abused dogs, pay for veterinary treatment and find new homes where the dog can continue its life in a kind,
loving environment. CARE also rehome all the strays found in the area.
CARE Dog Rescue have been operating for over 14 years and have found homes for over 1500 dogs.
Once accepted a dog remains with CARE until a suitable home is found.
To date no healthy dog has been put down.
If you want to go for one of the supposedly new "First Cross" dog breeds then think again.
These mixes are not new and with a little patience and looking around you can most likely find one in a
shelter waiting for a new home. The cost will be substantially lower!
CARE dogs needing homes
CARE rehomed 138 dogs in 2009. We feel great that we were able to help that many dogs find new homes.
In many cases with the stray dogs, they would have been destroyed as the local council will only pay for
7 days boarding to give the owner time to come forward and claim the dog, then without CARE the dogs would be put to sleep.
We have had some outstanding help in the last few years from a dedicated group of foster homes.
Without these wonderful people we could not do near as much as we do.
Telephone (UK Only): 01493 653 955
We are usually very busy and are not always able to take the call, but please leave a message on
the answer phone and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Animals In Need/Maxicare Little Irchester, Northamptonshire Animals In Need is a rescue organization run solely by volunteers in the Northamptonshire area. Rehoming a dog is a carefully handled process – we need to make sure we find the right owner for the dog and the right dog for your home. We no longer allow visitors to just turn up at the kennels and walk around, as we find this unsettling and stressful for the dogs in our care. We ask that you view the dogs here on the website or view the kennel book kept in Reception to view which dogs are currently in kennels. Based on the dogs you then want to view, we ask a few questions to make sure your selected dogs would be suitable for your needs and lifestyle. You can then meet the dog in our kennel area and perhaps take them for a walk to see if you bond. If all is well then you can reserve a dog for £20 deposit pending the home check. If several people want the same dog then our kennel management team will visit all homes and decide based on the dogs needs who is best suited to care for them. All dogs leave Maxicare neutered, vaccinated, ID chipped , wormed and flea treated. A total donation of £150 per dog to cover costs is required. Everyone wanting to rescue a dog will need to receive a full home check and must also have a secure garden. PLEASE NOTE - we cannot rehome dogs to families with children under the age of 5. Maxicare dogs needing homes The sanctuary is open to the public 12 - 3pm Tuesday to Sunday, we are closed on Mondays.

At present on site we have over 60 dogs, 90 cats and kittens plus a number of rabbits and guinea pigs. We also care for our permanent guests of goats, sheep, a horse and a little Shetland pony. We hold our ’non-destruction policy’ as a core principle for our work. This means that we will never put a healthy animal down and work to rehabilitate each rescue that comes through our gates. You are able to Sponsor some of our recue animals to support them during their stay at the Sanctuary. Click here to see our dogs needing homes. If you see one you think might be right for you come and visit us at the Sanctuary and speak to our staff about the animal you are looking for, they will be happy to help you in every way they can. Each of them knows about our animals history and can direct you to the most suitable pet. Once you have found the pet you think is the one, you must spend some time getting to know each other. You may need to visit the Sanctuary on a few occasions before you can take you new pet home. It is important that the match is right and everyone is happy with the decision. It is also important to bring other pets you may have to the Sanctuary to introduce them. A home visit will be conducted by one of our members of staff to ensure the environment is suitable for your new pet.
