Five directions of work, one animal rescue operation at a time
Every request that reaches the foundation falls into one of five areas. Each one has its own team, its own budget line and its own reporting.
An animal rescue operation rarely fails at the dramatic moment. It fails two weeks later, when there is no money for the second surgery, no space in a shelter, or no one to drive the animal to a foster home. Splitting the work into five clear directions is how we make sure the unglamorous half is funded before the van leaves.
Choose a direction
- Rescue from cruelty and neglect Removing animals from violence, hoarding, abandonment and slow neglect
- Veterinary care and rehabilitation Emergency treatment, surgery, animal rehabilitation and long recovery
- Work in war zones Evacuation, plus feed and medicine for shelters near the front line
- Wildlife rescue Foxes, orphaned cubs, birds and hedgehogs treated and released
- Disaster response Floods, fires, storms and earthquakes, plus temporary shelter afterwards
- Humane education School programmes and responsible pet ownership
How a request becomes a funded case
The same route applies whether the call is about one kitten or forty dogs behind a closed shelter gate.
| Stage | What happens | Who decides |
|---|---|---|
| Intake | A shelter, a vet or a member of the public sends the case with photos and location | Duty coordinator |
| Check | We verify the animal exists, the situation is current and no one else is already funding it | Regional partner |
| Costing | The clinic or supplier gives a written price. Nothing is approved on a verbal estimate | Finance |
| Funding | The bill is paid directly to the clinic, builder or supplier, never in cash to a person | Board |
| Report | Invoices, photographs and the animal status all go into the quarterly report | All partners |
