Pets On Prescription

Woman with dog

This unique programme is designed to meet the needs of two distinct groups.

1) Older dogs and cats, over the age of five, who are often hard to rehome and are largely unwanted by most people who are drawn to puppies and kittens.

2) Elderly people who would love the companionship a pet can provide but are less able to cope with the demands of a younger more active pet.

Are you over 60 year old? Would you love an animal companion? If so, contact us today.
