Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust

The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust (GHDT) was founded in 2002. With no tradition of horsemanship in The Gambia and a combination of poor management, high disease risk and poverty, farmers were investing comparatively large amounts of money for a working animal only for it to die, too often within six months. Not only was this causing further hardship for the farmers, it was also creating a serious animal welfare problem and the veterinary services did not have the infrastructure or finances to be able to help the farmers.

The aim of the GHDT is to reduce rural poverty in The Gambia through improving the health, welfare and productivity of working animals.

Last Chance Animal Rescue

Registered Charity No. 1002349

Don’t leave it to chance... leave it to LAST CHANCE

As animals can’t speak for themselves it falls to me to ask you to consider leaving a legacy to Last Chance Animal Rescue. Any money that we may receive will be spent entirely on the running and improvement at the Centre, which is dedicated to the rescuing, rehabilitation and re-homing of dogs and cats etc.

Many of the number we receive have found their way to our door through circumstances such as their beloved owner passing away, may that door always be open.

Many are elderly, in their twilight years, and would just love to find a caring retirement home, something we have great success and pleasure in finding for them, and we continue to care for them, young and old, long after they are settled in their new loving homes, by offering all kinds of support, including financial if needed, for their continued welfare and well being.

As you can imagine this level of commitment doesn’t come cheaply, which is why I am appealing to you to remember Last Chance if possible, when you make your will. They do say where there’s a Will there’s a way!

Hope Rescue

Leaving a gift for Hope dogs in your will is an incredibly special way to ensure your love for animals continues as your lasting legacy. Every single legacy gift, no matter the size, makes such a difference to the dogs in our care, helping them to find the happiness they deserve now, and for many years to come.

At Hope Rescue, we've been working hard to improve the welfare of dogs since 2005. We do not discriminate against the dogs we help on the basis of their breed, age or medical condition, and many come in with underlying health conditions that can cost thousands of pounds.

We also have a number of dogs with ongoing medical or behavioural needs that are part of our Assisted Adoption programme. These dogs would otherwise be unadoptable due to the costs of their long-term support. Leaving a special gift will help us to be there for every dog that needs us.

Ferne Animal Sanctuary

Ferne was set up through the foresight of the late Nina, Duchess of Hamilton & Brandon – who realised that men and women going off to war had no-one to take care of their animals and so would require a temporary refuge for them.

The Duchess put a call out on the BBC and legend has it that when she returned to her London home there were a number of cats and dogs on her doorstep and also a parrot!

The need for our work continues to this day. We all know that energy prices are rising and that the cost of everything we do from the daily commute, to cooking a meal or watching TV is getting more expensive.

Here at Ferne this will impact on the cost of keeping our animals healthy and well throughout the colder months. From the cost of the under-floor heating in our kennels to keep all the paws that pass through them warm, to using heat lamps to keep our Guinea pigs and older sheep and goats cosy, and the cost of straw to ensure all beds are as snug as they need to be!

Theres no way we can make cuts when it comes to keeping our animals warm, which is why as we approach the colder months, we need your help more than ever to keep all the animals in our care warm and cosy this winter.

Animal Action Greece

As a UK based charity operating in Greece since 1959, Animal Action Greece’s (formerly Greek Animal Welfare Fund) purpose is ‘the prevention and relief of cruelty and suffering amongst animals in Greece’. 

The charity works with street animals, working animals, pet animals – in fact, any animals that need our help. We believe in working within Greece to find practical and sustainable solutions to animal welfare problems, and our track record speaks for itself.

We have a vision for ‘Greece to become a nation whose people care about the quality of animals’ lives’. We are proud of what we have achieved over many years as the longest serving animal charity operating in Greece at a national level. Many animals’ lives have been improved by our work. But there is still a lot for us to do before Greece becomes a country in which the quality of animals’ lives matter. That is why our mission is to ‘use the way we care for animals to educate and inspire, encouraging changes in attitudes at every level of Greek society.’

The Fox Project

Established in 1991 as a specialist Wildlife Information Bureau and Fox Deterrence Consultancy, we added a Wildlife Ambulance Service and Hospital in 1993 and, today, we admit, treat and rehabilitate over 1000 foxes per year, including 250 sick, injured and orphaned fox cubs.

We are honoured to have Chris Packham as our Patron and appear regularly on TV, radio and other media. We have received awards from RSPCA, International Fund for Animal Welfare and others for our work and regularly advise national and local government as well as providing information to the public on all aspects of the Red Fox.

Our pioneering fox deterrence work has led to most UK local authorities abandoning lethal ‘control’ in favour of humane, non-destructive methods of resolving conflict with urban foxes, thereby saving the lives of many thousands of foxes every year.

Our current priority, under pressure from a fast-growing workload, is to locate and purchase premises on which to develop a purpose-built wildlife hospital.

The Humane Slaughter Association

Growing numbers of us are concerned about the welfare of animals that provide us with food. Whilst many people recognise the importance of a good life whilst on the farm, animals may also face welfare challenges ‘beyond the farm gate’.

The Humane Slaughter Association (HSA) is the only UK charity concerned exclusively in promoting the humane treatment of all food animals during transport, slaughter, killing for welfare reasons or disease control, and at markets.

We work with the livestock industry and animal welfare scientists globally to deliver education, training and advice in addition to providing funding and support for essential research.

The HSA is funded solely by donations and legacies from members and supporters. Please help us to continue to make practical and lasting improvements to animal welfare beyond the farm gate.

Oak Tree Animals' Charity

0n7323Oak Tree provides a safe place for cats, dogs and equines in their time of need. We look to rehome dogs, cats, and equines and work to support good, long-term healthy relationships between animals and their owners out in the community.

Founded in 1909 by Francis Cox, who campaigned for better working conditions for pit ponies and other working horses, the Charity has now grown to provide a home for equines, goats and donkeys. It’s also a safe haven for relinquished dogs and cats who are awaiting new homes through our Adoption Programme.

Every year Oak Tree takes in hundreds of animals and gives them a second chance. We rehabilitate the animals, but we also prepare potential owners for life with a new companion and offer the help and support necessary for both animal and owner to live a long and happy life together. Our work in the community means that loving pet owners can find the information and resources they need to keep their animals happy, healthy and in good homes. We also support unowned animals such as feral cats through our Trap Neuter Return (TNR) programme.

0n7322We use educational campaigns to raise awareness and change perceptions, hoping to provide a brighter future for animals in all walks of society. Our team speaks to schools, community groups and colleges about animal welfare and offers advice on working with animals in the future, investing in our younger generations and providing them with the knowledge they need to help animals in the long term.

You can help the animals in our care by donating, volunteering, adopting, fundraising, and paying a visit to our Tearoom and our Amazon Wish List! You could also consider sponsoring an animal, leaving a gift in your will or why not come along to one of our events! The ways to help are endless!

Three Counties Dog Rescue (Reg.Charity 1170606)

Our mission is to accept, care for and find homes for unwanted, lost and stray dogs.

Three Counties Dog Rescue has successfully re-homed over 7600 dogs and cats since its formation in 1971. All our animals are neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped before re-homing.

Before re-homing takes place we ensure that the dog or cat will be kept in suitable conditions.

We have to raise £200,000 every year to cover veterinary fees as well as the kennel management and maintenance costs. We have a non destruction policy and never put down a healthy dog. However this means that we can incur large veterinary costs to maintain a dog's health while they await a new permanent home. As part of our non-destruction policy some elderly animals are kept in long term foster homes.

The Rescue is run entirely by voluntary and unpaid helpers and every penny raised goes directly to improving the lives of our dogs and cats.

Other costs including travel, transport, telephone and website are met by our volunteers.

Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary

Located in the lovely Brecon Beacons National Park area of South Wales, the Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary rescues and provides a home for many types of unwanted animals, especially primates, such as chimpanzees, baboons, spider monkeys, vervets, capuchins, snow monkeys, lemurs and marmosets.

Although we specialise in the care and protection of primates we cannot stand by and see other animals in need of help. You will therefore find wolf dogs, horses, donkeys, goats, pigs and others at our sanctuary. All are equally important members of our extended family.

We undertake a number of rescues from zoos and laboratories where animals have suffered mistreatment and deprivation or are no longer wanted. As they are not equipped for survival in the wild we can only endeavour to make the rest of their lives as enjoyable and stress free as possible.

Heartbeat Home For Horses

Many hundreds of horses every year face an uncertain future when their careers come to an end. They come to us from all walks of equine life; ex-racehorses, riding horses, or ponies just being discarded when their "useful" life is over.

Our Aim

The Heartbeat Home for Horses Limited is a registered charity for retired horses, whose aim is to care for horses who otherwise would face a very uncertain future. Our aim is to provide a lifeline for these needy, homeless animals, allowing them to relax in comfortable surroundings in retirement, with lots of tender loving care.

  • Heartbeat horses are often large, 16hh+ - it can be difficult to find a retirement home for them
  • Heartbeat Horses are NOT re-educated, or re-homed, or adopted
  • Heartbeat Horses retire to enjoy a good quality of life
  • Heartbeat will not put a healthy horse to sleep
  • We need to expand, due to the long waiting list of horses waiting to retire, or worse
  • We have CCTV in the stables, to monitor horses who are unwell

Many of Heartbeat guests would not be alive today, if they had not been able to retire to the Heartbeat Home for Horses.

Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary

Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary provides lifetime help and care for horses, ponies, donkeys, goats, sheep and cats that are victims of physical and mental abuse, be it as a result of ignorance or malicious intent.

The animals are our prime concern and are treated with the utmost respect. Animals are never euthanised for reasons of age or infirmity alone. Nothing is spared to give them every chance to thrive into old age.

Our ethos is one of providing them with an environment where they are safe and - after a lifetime of doing their best for mankind, or being abused by mankind - that they now have a life built around them, giving them all they need and asking nothing of them.

Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue Trust

Hessilhead cares for Scotland's injured and orphaned wildlife. It has been running for over 25 years, and became a registered charity in 1986.

The centre is situated near Beith in North Ayrshire. It occupies a 20 acre site, including woodland, marsh and open water. This gives a variety of release sites for our patients.

Hessilhead aims to rescue, treat, rFehabilitate and release birds and animals back to the wild, and has facilities and experience to treat all species of Scottish wildlife. Facilities at the Centre include an intensive care unit, a swan/seal hospital with indoor pool, a hedgehog unit, a surgery with x-ray equipment and more than 60 outdoor aviaries, enclosures and release pens.

The centre operates a 24 hour emergency service, and is available to give advice on wildlife problems throughout the day. It is not generally open to the public. This is because our patients are wild, and wild birds and animals are usually frightened of people. Regular disturbance would upset the patients, hamper their recovery, or result in hand-reared youngsters becoming tame.

Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - A Safe Place for Dogs and Cats

Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home protects loving homes, finds loving homes, and runs a loving home for dogs and cats in East and Central Scotland.

We give our all to keep pets where they belong - with their families. When that’s not possible, we take them in and love them as if they’re our own. We give every dog and cat the best level of care we can, from food and veterinary care to training and enrichment, all to get them ready for their future family.

Since 1883 we’ve been caring for dogs and cats in Edinburgh, and since 2019 our pet foodbanks and community services have been better supporting their humans too. But we don’t do it alone.

We don’t receive any regular government or statutory funding, so without the incredible backing of our donors and supporters, our doors couldn’t have stayed open for the last 140 years.

Behind every pet in need is a person in need and with open doors and open hearts we will continue to rescue, reunite, and rehome dogs and cats across East and Central Scotland.

Our holistic approach makes us unique; providing sanctuary to rescued monkeys, supporting projects overseas, campaigning for primate welfare, educating to protect primates worldwide and promoting a sustainability and ethical ethos.

The Horse Rescue Fund

Dedicated to the Rescue, Rehabilitation & Rehoming of all needy Horses, Donkeys & Ponies.

The main aim of the Horse Rescue Fund is to alleviate the suffering of any ill-treated or neglected equines, bring them back to health and, if possible, back into work and then place them on loan in approved homes. We never sell our rescued horses but we do most firmly believe that they are much more content and happier leading a useful and fulfilled life, with individual care and attention in a private home, rather than just standing in retirement for the rest of their lives. We have more than 100 horses, ponies and donkeys out in adoptive homes, with more to follow in their footsteps at present under rehabilitation at Woodstock Farm.

Many of our horses have gone on to compete most successfully, in many disciplines both locally and nationally. Quite often spectators do not even realise that they are watching rescued horses who have had a very poor and often traumatic earlier life.

NEDDI

The New European Distressed Donkey Initiative is a non-profit making company, limited by guarantee. Established in 1990 it offers care and safety to donkeys within Britain and Europe at risk from neglect, cruelty or mal-treatment.

When BRACKEN arrived she had to be carried from the lorry – her feet were so painful that she had been “walking” on her knees for months. NEDDI was able to provide veterinary help.

She was with us for 15 years, and had to continue with pain-killers all that time but she enjoyed a happy retirement and died at the very old age of 56. BRIDIE had had her hooves cut off with an electric saw, and they were deformed to the end, but with NEDDI’s help she lived a peaceful and comfortable life.

These are just a few of the donkeys we have cared for in the past and continue to care for at our sanctuary and nearly every story has a happy ending.

In the last few years we have also been helping working donkeys in Kenya with medicaments and free road-side clinics.

We are a comparatively small organisation and every little donation or legacy helps enormously.

Paws2Rescue is a UK registered charity (1156882) that works to relieve the suffering of all animals, with a particular focus on dogs.

Furthermore, we promote compassion for animals around the globe, running education programmes for schoolchildren in Romania and Moldova to encourage future generations to learn to treat animals with kindness. We also provide free neutering programmes in various locations to ensure every animal is a wanted animal.

A gift in your Will, however small, helps us to be there for abused, neglected and stray animals, protecting them and giving them a new start in life with food, shelter, medical treatment and sanctuary. It will also enable us to continue to change attitudes towards animals in countries where compassion can sometimes be in short supply.

The Pit Pony Sanctuary

We are a small group who help all the needy horses and ponies we can with our meagre resources. Shockingly, pit ponies were still a regular feature of UK coal mines right up until the end of the 1990s. The team has come across some utterly heartbreaking stories. The sanctuary is happy to take in any horse or pony they can, space permitting, who is in need of a new home, but like all charities, they are struggling to get by, as donations continue to fall, and costs rise.

Our aims are to:

  • Offer a subsidised Spaying and Neutering scheme.
  • To rehome animals that come into our care.
  • To support over 500 animals at a sanctuary in the Midlands.

The first animal in the video is twelve year old Susie, who is one of the animals notified to us by the police after her owner had been found deceased. Having lost her owner, the poor dog then found herself in a police kennel with a very definite time limit on it. She is pictured with Liana, her foster Mum, who is happily going to keep her.
