Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

We are based throughout Cornwall, rescuing special animals of any kind, including the sick and terminally ill. We offer permanent homes to any animal in need, but specifically offer help to dogs who end up in pounds, i.e., strays or dogs that are not reunited with their owners by dog wardens and that may otherwise face euthanasia through no fault of their own.
