"It was another house call, my third and last of the day… I’d seemed to have zigzagged all over central Scotland and I was ready to be at home. Regardless, I still approached each visit with the same kind friendly but not overly familiar manner. The Cloud 9 Vets Care Coordinators always give me clear details for each visit, but this one felt different, his visit had special instructions tagged on - “owner in wheelchair, park around the back and call when arrived”. I followed

As the nation prepares to mark Remembrance this November, one volunteer-run charity is ensuring that the bravery and sacrifice of animals in service are not forgotten. Murphy’s Army, the organisation behind their official Purple Poppy Campaign, is calling on the public to wear their purple poppies proudly to remember the animals who served alongside humans in times of war and those who continue to serve today.

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Flavia Cacace quickstepped her way back to The Donkey Sanctuary recently when she spent the day at its Sidmouth site. The Donkey Sanctuary was thrilled to welcome back the professional dancer and animal advocate to spend time meeting some of the charity’s long-eared residents and to learn more about its important work caring for donkeys, both in the UK and around the world. Flavia first visited the sanctuary in March 2023 with her husband, ac

Running a busy breakfast service for 100 rescue goats was all in a day’s work for power workers who swapped the office for Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats. UK Power Networks’ volunteers lent a hand at the UK's only registered charity dedicated exclusively to the welfare and rescue of goats in Wierton Park, Boughton Monchelsea. Over two days, electricity teams mucked out stables, swept, laid bedding, topped up hay and water, unloaded hay deliveries, moved a fence, painted sheds

A kitten found wedged between two walls on an industrial estate in Cowbridge, too young to survive alone, has surprised carers by not only pulling through but growing into a kitten who loves rough-and-tumble. When a member of the public arrived at Cats Protection National Wales Cat Centre in Bryncethin with a tiny kitten who had been discovered fallen between two walls on Llandow Trading Estate, just off Llantwit Major Road, staff at the centre were amazed that the very young

Dogs experience the world differently to us - they literally "see" the world through their awesome noses. Daily scentwork gives dogs a job, provides the right sort of mental stimulation, whilst supporting a deep feeling of contentment. Your dog's nose isn't just impressive - it's how they make sense of everything. Whilst we rely on our eyes, dogs are reading an invisible world of scent that tells them who's been past, what's happening, and what's worth investigating. It's the

A life-changing move to support a life-changing mission. My Anxious Dog, the small business helping anxious and reactive dogs get the space they need, has been featured on BBC One’s Escape to the Country — bringing national visibility to the movement supporting “dogs in yellow”. Sarah Jones and her husband Matt, from Binfield in Berkshire, appeared on the popular property programme as they searched for a new home in Herefordshire, a move they never imagined making until life

I am frequently asked “What is it like living with a blind dog”? my reply is, it is an experience that I would not have missed as it has taught me so much more about the dog. When Bumble was three years old I began to notice that she had difficulty in judging distances, more especially at twilight, she would go to retrieve an object and miss it. Later she was diagnosed as having GPRA and I was given the bad news that she would be completely blind in a short space of time. I w
