We’re a small animal /people rescue who have been operating since 2011 and established as a registered Charity since 2013. Based in Stamford, on the Rutland/Lincolnshire border in middle England, we offer a service called HOME – dedicated to helping the elderly and the terminally ill with their pets when they can no longer manage alone.
We work with individuals, their families or the other service providers involved to secure a safe and happy ongoing story for the beloved furry companions. And because of our unique approach we then keep a lifetime watching brief on any animal we care for – this means we can rehome pets to other elderly folk who find themselves alone before they might naturally need to give up on pet ownership.
