ANIMAL SURRENDERS: Before signing over any animal to us please make sure you have made your best efforts to find it a home as we can not rehome all animals we get (as much as we would love to) Try placing ads in local paper, vet clinics/pet shops and local shops, ask friends and family.
We should be a last resort. Please note we will never turn an animal away, we are here to help. If you are signing over your pet please bring it to us between our open hours and bring any medical records i.e vaccination records you may have and please let us know of any history your pet has as this all helps the rehoming process.
