Foal Farm Animal Rescue Centre Biggin Hill, Kent
Foal Farm animal rescue centre is a registered charity based at Biggin Hill in Kent. Its aim is to take in as many sick, distressed and unwanted animals as possible and restore them to health and happiness. The animals are kept on a 26 acre farm where they are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and given any other medical assistance necessary. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals are then placed in secure and loving vetted homes. Horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and geese spend their natural lives at Foal Farm. No healthy animal is ever destroyed, and if no home can be found the animal becomes a resident for the rest of its life. Foal Farm relies entirely on voluntary contributions, legacies and money made from fund raising events.

Animal Samaritans North-West Kent Branch Bexley Heath, Gravesend, Dartford, the Medway Towns and Maidstone, Kent
Animal Samaritans are a UK Registered Charity that were formed in 1985 by a group of pensioners when a branch of a national animal charity closed down. It currently operates in south-east London and north-west Kent, providing re-homing of unwanted and ill-treated animals in these regions, and has approximately 1000 members. The Charity is run entirely by volunteers who work for no payment, our only source of income is from the annual subscription that our members pay, and donations from the public. The rest of our funds are raised by our members through jumble sales, car boot sales, raffles and sponsored events. Therefore all funds are spent very carefully to provide the much needed help and care for as many animals as possible. The Charity has a number of members who foster animals in their own homes, which are cared for until a suitable, permanent home can be found where they can receive the love and care that they so rightly deserve. All prospective homes are subject to a home check and then a follow up visit is always made to check on the animals progress. We also help to look after many stray and feral cats in the area. Arrangements are also made for animals to be spayed or neutered to help control the population of unwanted pets. The Charity operates a non-destruction policy and offer Pet Bereavement Scheme. This is a telephone service where bereaved pet owners can find help, support and a sympathetic ear.

Homes wanted for all domestic pets - cats, kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters etc.

Fundraising - Can you turn your talents to running a stall, arranging a boot fair, arranging a Quiz Night and donating some of the proceed to the Charity.

Transport - Spare an hour or more occasionally to assist with a pet taxi service to assist the elderly or disabled when their pet needs a visit to the Vets.

Newsletter - Do you have editorial talents to produce our quarterly Newsletter and help in it's distribution, by post to our various outlets? Help produce a news column for a junior section. Submit ideas, items, puzzles, poems, stories.

Labrador Rescue Kent and Borders Cranbrook Kent
Labrador Rescue Kent and Borders is a Registered Charity (No.1067495) formed in 1997 which aims to recover, rehabilitate and rehome any Labrador Retriever in the County of Kent and its borders that has been ill-treated, neglected or whose owners can no longer keep it. We are not directly associated with any other Labrador Rescue Organisation but will try to assist any, which may contact us for help. Labrador Rescue Kent and Borders does not normally have homeless Labradors waiting in kennels to be rehomed. If circumstances allow, the owner of the Labrador which requires rehoming, continues to keep the dog until the right home is found. However, if the dog needs to be removed immediately from the home for whatever the reason, Labrador Rescue Kent and Borders can arrange for the dog to be placed in a foster home approved by us. We are always grateful to these foster families for their care and if you could help us in this way please contact your local helper.

Lincolnshire Essex and Trent Boxer Rescue Holbeach, Spalding, Lincolnshire
There are many reasons why boxers come into rescue, often through no fault of their own. Most Boxers come to us due to marriage break ups, the rest are because of a mixture of ignorance, death of owners and misunderstanding of the breed. Whatever the reason we are only to happy to help as the welfare of boxers is our only priority. We always do our homework first and match the dog to thier new forever family.We never have dogs to view! Every home is thoroughly checked out and once anyone adopts a boxer from us they become part of this ever increasing boxer family. We never lose touch. We ask for photos and updates from every new home periodically, and we send out news letters once a year. We have a Funday once a year when all new owners and their beloved dogs are invited to take part in a super day out. This is our main fund raising event of the year thus enabling us to continue the good work. We are solely funded by donations and administered entirely by voluntary helpers, without whom LETBR would not be what it is today.

Four Legged Friends Haddington, Nr South Hykeham, Lincoln
We are not the type of rescue centre that allows people to simply walk in, choose a dog and take it home. We match our dogs to suitable owners very carefully and carry out home checks before each dog can be placed in a home. We find that this helps to reduce problems that can lead to the dog being returned, saving upset for both the dog and new owners. Potential owners should ensure they have an adequate sized house for the size of dog and a fully fenced, secure garden. All family members should be consulted before a decision is made and existing pets should be the priority. Some of our dogs have had a troubled past and as a result have special requirements. Please read the details carefully. If you are interested in giving one of our dogs a home please phone us on 01522 693392 to discuss this.

Doris Banham Dog Rescue North Hykeham, Lincoln
Doris Banham was a dedicated animal lover throughout her life who sadly died in November  2001. The following year in June 2002 her daughter, Trudie James, decided to honour her life and dedication to animals by establishing The Doris Banham Sanctuary. The charity was set up to help all animals, but as we became increasingly aware of the heart breaking needless destruction of unclaimed dogs in dog pounds, we vowed to help them and the charity has developed to provide an essential life saving rescue service for these forgotten dogs. We are a non-profit organisation and rely totally on fundraising and donations to save these animals. Dogs are kept in kennels and foster homes around the area so check the contact list.

Fen Bank Greyhound Sanctuary Friskney, South Lincolnshire
Fen Bank Greyhound Sanctuary is a registered charity dedicated to the protection and re-homing of ex-racing Greyhounds. Fen Bank Greyhound Sanctuary, near Skegness in South Lincolnshire, was established in December, 1997 by Sandra Miller. The Sanctuary, which obtained independent registered charity status in 1998, was designed and built by Shaun Hooker and provides comfortable and spacious accommodation for 28 dogs. Each pair of dogs have a warm kennel, their own run, and in addition there are two large galloping paddocks for free exercise. All dogs are walked every day except Sunday and as far as possible they are treated like the pets they are destined to become. There are 14 permanent "guests" who can never be homed , and some of these are available for sponsoring. We take in Greyhounds of all ages from all over the United Kingdom. Fen Bank Greyhound Sanctuary homes dogs and takes them in from all over England. Some are cruelty cases, with dogs weighing half thier correct body weight, some with emotional scars and others very ill from neglect. There is fully supported homing and follow up programmes for every dog, including vetting procedures, 24 hour help line, and in the rare cases when a homing fails, dogs MUST come back to Fen Bank. A Fen Bank dog is a dog for life. All our dogs are neutered, innoculated, wormed, health checked and soon will be micro-chipped before being placed in a new home. We like to ensure that our Greyhound adoptions go smoothly for both new owner and dog. We have a charity shop in Alford, Lincs. which helps in raising funds, as well as a program of events during the year to support the Sanctuary with its two resident staff.

Rescue Remedies London and adjoining counties
Rescue Remedies is based in the London area (we are able to home dogs within London and any one of its adjoining counties) and we aim to provide a safe and warm foster home for dogs, who have lost their homes, whilst they are waiting for their forever owners. Rescue Remedies also helps kennel dogs develop skills to enable them to find their pet homes. As a small rescue we are dependant on goodwill and volunteers who open their homes to foster a dog in need, donate dog food or items, spread the word to search for good homes and above all, offer a homeless dog their home for life. We neuter the dogs in our care prior to adoption (with the exception of puppies or if there are medical grounds not to do so at the time) Additionally our dogs have received at least one vaccination, are microchipped, aswell as flea and worm treated. Our phone bills, transport costs and general running costs, on top of vet bills, mean we are always grateful for any contribution made. We carry out home checks to ensure the home meets the dogs needs and may also ask for vet reference. We do not discriminate against a dog on age or health. We aim to give a truthful description of the dog to the best of our knowledge and assessment For homechecking purposes we do prefer that prospective adopters live within London or surrounding counties. However, if we have a dog with very specific needs then we may be prepared to travel further afield for the right home
