Who they are
Two sites
The main site at Todwick Road, North Anston houses smaller pets — dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more. The farm at Ravenfield is home to 30+ horses and ponies, pet pigs and hens.
Care & rehoming
Every animal is assessed and any medical or behavioural issues dealt with before careful matching to a forever home. Visits are appointment-only to reduce stress on the animals.
A community charity
Run by a board of volunteer trustees and a highly experienced care team, with an army of long-serving volunteers, five charity shops and an onsite café.
What they do
Rescue & rehabilitation
Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, pigs and more.
Adoption & rehoming
Careful matching of every animal to the right forever home.
