Our latest success stories

How Peanut came in from the cold

Peanut was abandoned by the roadside, skinny and scared. With our expert care and endless love, she’s recovered and found a happy new home of her own.

Bella's transformation

Poor Bella was beaten so badly her skull fractured. Thankfully, we were able to help – but this summer, there’ll be many more animals facing abuse.

Berlioz's second chance

We rescued Berlioz with a fractured skull, broken ribs and missing teeth. He survived awful abuse. We’re proud of his recovery but sadly, his sister wasn’t so lucky.

How we define success

  • We change lives - by rescuing, rehabilitating, rehoming and releasing animals 
  • We change minds - through expert education, fundraising and volunteering  
  • We change laws and industries - by lobbying Government and business on animal welfare
