UK Dogs, Cats & Critters Rescue & Shelter Hub We have many dogs,cats & critters needing homes all over Great Britain & Ireland. There are numerous small shelters & rescue grps that stuggle to keep the wolf from the door financially & just don't have the resources to run massive media campaigns. They all need our help. The purpose of this page is to encourage massive crossposting of animals in need of homes, both as foster & full time adoptions. They hope to encourage all the small shelters & rescue groups to post their lists here & with time create a page that will have a massive impact on home soil. http://www.facebook.com/UKPetHub |

| FOUR PAWS ANIMAL RESCUE |
These
people are a small independent registered charity based mainly in
South Wales, who rehome throughout the UK. Please note that they
don't have a rescue centre, but instead use a network of foster
carers.As far as possible we try to foster dogs in a home environment
where they can be assessed and cared for without the stresses of
kennels. All our animals receive veterinary care if needed, are
vaccinated, wormed, flea treated, and if old enough they are neutered.
All prospective new owners are homechecked. www.fourpawsanimalrescue.org |

Perhaps it is, but this beautifully maintained site is a real labour of love and, behind the fun, provides a wealth of information that you might not get elsewhere. www.petstreet.co.uk |
