We’ve won an award!

It’s great to be appreciated and when Julie Eley of Autorestore Car Bodyshop, put our name forward to the Peak FM annual Local Hero Awards, we were very pleased.   When she told us that we were on the shortlist the excitement started to build.We were invited to the award ceremony which was a grand affair, with local celebrities and some excellent entertainment, including the band Texas.

When our very own Daphne Shepherd was named as a winner it was a brilliant moment with the award presented by one of Proact team who had sponsored the category.   Our thanks especially to Peak FM for putting on such a great show and giving recognition to all the ‘Local Heroes’.   Thanks also to all the sponsors, especially Proact, who also provided the venue for the ceremony.

Rescuing animals is hard work with sometimes more lows than high.  We’ve been rescuing animals here for over 25 years, we’re always short of funds and it’s only the happy endings that make it all worth while.

A huge thank you to all the caring and kind people who are real Pet Samaritans and volunteer, adopt animals and bring food in all kind of good things to help us keep  going.   Our appreciation as always is for the animals who set us such a high standard and are uncomplaining, forgiving and loving no matter has happened to them.   With your help we can keep on with our rescues and making a real difference to animal welfare.
