Quite simply, our rescue team at the centre are beyond amazing. The work they do is exceptional. They are a small team that take on a big responsibility and a considerable workload. Although they are responsible for managing the surrender of pets and their rehoming, the team also love and provide care and compassion for every pet that walks through these doors.
As a charity, we couldn’t be without them.
You can help; their workload is oppressive. Please do not call the rescue team about adoption; please email your queries.
Gemma is our Welfare Office Coordinator, progressing on from being a member of our animal care and office assistant teams and completing her apprenticeship. Her days involve assessing animals from their arrival, before matching them up and finding them their new, forever homes.
Gemma also has experience assisting in a grooming salon which gave her the push to pursue her dream of working with animals full-time and her wish to gain qualifications in animal care and husbandry!.
Mel is head of Marketing and Fundraising for the Welfare, responsible for the all our social media channels, website, promotion, events, corporate events and education sessions. She works closely with the Welfare team to provide support whenever needed.
Mel is very passionate about her role and loves working with the Welfare team.
To provide rescue support for abused, abandoned, displaced pets; to ultimately introduce them to a loving family and find their forever home.
To create a safe place for ALL rescued animals to find succor, healing and hope. To help educate and transform human/pet relationships through continual learning.
To provide the same level of love and care for all our stakeholders as we do our rescues. To be recognised not just for the good work we do but for the good we inspire.
Volunteering is an enjoyable way of helping a rescue animal and can be very rewarding to both you and the animal. We have a range of volunteering roles from dog walking and cat cuddling through to helping raise much needed funds or home visiting. You will meet like minded people and enjoy developing or learning new skills.
