Common questions

What is the difference between a sanctuary and a rescue?
+
Rescues rehabilitate animals for rehoming. Sanctuaries provide permanent homes for animals that cannot be rehomed โ€” often due to age, disability or trauma.
Can I volunteer at an animal sanctuary?
+
Most sanctuaries actively need volunteers. Contact them directly to enquire about volunteering roles.
