USEFUL ADDRESSES AND RECOMMENDED WEBSITES FOR ALL THINGS PET CARE:

RESCUE CENTRES

We believe these are really caring and responsible centres for pet rescue and re-homing. Many others in our experience are run as commercial operations, even importing pets to sell on, often with uncorrected or unknown behavioural and health problems not dealt with satisfactorily.
