Our charitable organisation is dedicated to supporting the elderly or terminally ill with the care of their beloved pets. Whether it be pet exercising , vet transportation or assistance with administering vet issued medication.
Our mission is to offer care and assistance when it’s needed most.

We have a group of talented and passionate volunteer’s who are able to exercise your pet on an agreed schedule to suit their needs.
Stage 2: Transport Support.
Connecting you and your pet with local veterinary services by assisting with transportation to and from the appointment. We can also assist by delivering prepaid pet food purchased from one of our accredited veterinary clinics.
Stage 3: Long – Term Planning and Care.
We work with pet owners early on to help them plan for the ongoing care of their pet should the unexpected happen. This is an action plan that we create with and on behalf of the owner to make sure their wishes for either short term or permanent fostering of their pets is carried out. This provides certainty for the owner but also insures the pets safety , care and well being for the remainder of their lives is the very best it can possibly be.
