02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Our mission is provide a loving, kind and family home environment and tailored, compassionate, kind and dignified palliative and end-of-life care to abandoned, unwanted, and often previously unloved and abused, elderly, sick or terminally ill companion and farmed animals, and life long care for farmed animals and sanctuary dogs. We love every one of them deeply and they are our entire lives, and we live by the words, Love Changes Everything. We provide the safety, warm homes, food, and everything they need so that their inner puppies (or chicks) can come alive, and show the world who they really are, and spread their happiness in a world that desperately needs more joy.

Purposes 1. The organisation’s charitable purposes are to advance animal welfare by operating a dedicated animal hospice and sanctuary that. 4.1 provides lifelong sanctuary care to farmed animals and companion animals, and end-of-life care to abandoned and/or unwanted terminally ill animals, ensuring their physical and emotional needs are met through compassionate, tailored, and appropriate personal and veterinary support. 4.2 prevents or alleviates suffering of terminally ill animals by delivering palliative care that meets their physical and emotional needs during the final stages of life. 4.3 responds to evolving needs in animal rescue and welfare, recognising the changing societal landscape and increasing complexity of cases, including the provision of long-term sanctuary care for dogs and cats who are unsuitable for rehoming due to emotional, medical, or environmental needs, and who require specialist housing, care, and understanding. 4.4 promotes education and public awareness by serving as a centre of information and innovation in the care of farmed animals, the welfare of animals requiring end-of-life support, and the shifting public perception of animal rescue and sanctuary work. and 4.5 supports wildlife welfare by providing emergency triage and transport services for injured or distressed wild animals, in collaboration with veterinary professionals and experienced wildlife rehabilitators, and by offering soft-release environments for rehabilitated wild birds, particularly raptors, to aid their reintegration into the wild.
