Helping Dogs and Cats Rescue C.I.C

Helping Dogs and Cats Rescue C.I.C We are a non-profit animal rescue (CIC number1420295) based in Basingstoke and operate in Hampshire,

Our journey began in 2018 when our Founder Kirsty Wrightson, established the rescue after losing her beloved dog, Millie. We rescue dog, cats, and other small animals in need of help. Our work includes rehoming and rehabilitation, veterinary care, microchipping, spaying, and neutering. All of the animals that come into our care first go into foster homes for assessment. Adopting a dog or cat or ot

her animal is a big decision and, in most instances, a long-term commitment. To help you answer any questions you may have we have created an FAQ guide. https://helpingdogsandcatsuk.org/faqs-1

Application Forms can be found https://helpingdogsandcatsuk.org/application-forms

We are always desperate for more foster carers and welcome applications from cat and dog loving people within Basingstoke and surrounding areas of Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire. https://helpingdogsandcatsuk.org/fostering

With the cost-of-living crisis the rescue has seen an influx of cats and dogs needing to be rehomed. The rescue has set up a food bank for pets supporting individuals and families who maybe struggling to cover the cost of looking after their pets. Our small team is staffed by volunteers, who are true animal lovers and passionate about animal welfare. We receive no government funding and depend entirely on the generosity of our supporters. Every penny we receive goes directly to helping dogs and cats. https://helpingdogsandcatsuk.org/donate

If you are in need of our help, would like to make a donation or are interested in fostering or volunteering with us, you can contact us 01256 593373, via email at [email protected] or view our website https://helpingdogsandcatsuk.org/

To date we have rescued and rehomed over 1300 dogs and cats, with many still more needing our help.

🐾 FOSTER OR FOSTER-VIEW-TO-ADOPT NEEDED 🐾

Meet Bentley – Our Gentle 14-Year-Old Terrier Gentleman

Bentley is a sweet, lively soul who’s looking for a loving home after his mum sadly became too unwell to care for him.

About Bentley:
✨ Age: 14 years young – full of life and love
✨ Personality: Loves people, walks, toys, and snuggles
✨ Good with: Other dogs
🚫 Not cat friendly
👧 Best with: Older children (12+)

Health:
✔ Neutered
✔ Vaccinated
✔ Microchipped

We fostered Bentley briefly in June and can truly say he’s a delightful dog – affectionate, playful, and full of charm. He still enjoys his walks, loves his toys, and will happily curl up for a cuddle afterwards.

Could you be the hero Bentley needs?
We’re seeking a foster home or foster-to-adopt placement where Bentley can enjoy his golden years surrounded by love.

📩 If you can help, please get in touch today!

Let’s find this sweet boy the warm, safe, and happy home he deserves. ❤️🐶

If you would like to foster or foster with view to adopt Bentley please fill in our foster application form via the link below:

A huge thank you to our wonderful team member — and birthday girl — for choosing to celebrate her special day by helping the animals in our care. 💛🐾
Instead of gifts, she’s asking for donations to support our rescue work — giving abandoned dogs and cats a second chance at life, a safe place to stay, and the love they deserve.

She’s set up a GoFundMe to help reach her target, and every single pound will go directly towards saving and caring for animals in need.

If you’d like to help her hit her goal and make this birthday wish come true, you can donate here:

From all of us (and all the wagging tails & happy purrs) — thank you! 🐶🐱💛

🐾Happy World Cat Day! 🐾😻

Today’s the perfect day to shine a spotlight on the wonderful cats waiting for their forever homes.

We also have a loving nursing mum with her 4 tiny newborn babies, plus 2 hand-reared kittens in our care – they’re still too small for their close-ups, but we promise pictures as soon as they’re ready! 🩷

Every cat has their own story, but they all share one dream: a safe, loving home. Could you be their happy ending?

🐾 Take a look at our website to meet them all and find out more - https://helpingdogsandcatsuk.org/

Let’s make today the beginning of their journey home
