Through rescue, care and giving advice, we work tirelessly to create positive impacts on the lives of horses, ponies, donkeys and mules and to create a world where all equines have the life they deserve.
SERVICE DOGS UK
Our training programme and the constant companionship of their dog is proven to help Veterans relieve their PTSD symptoms, greatly improving their lives. Veterans frequently describe the programme as ‘life saving’.
TIRED PAWS FOUNDATION
Tired Paws foundation is dedicated to supporting retired prison dogs who, due to the nature of their previous working roles, find obtaining insurance difficult, often with high premiums. Some retire with medical conditions which are costly and challenging for owners.
The foundation helps cover veterinary care and supports the rehoming process, working with handlers and new owners and ensuring these dogs recieve the best care, stability and appreciation upon retirement after service.
