⭐️ POTW ⭐️

Pretty Penny is a bright, energetic Collie who loves learning new things and thrives when her mind is kept busy. With her enthusiasm and eagerness to please, Penny would be a dream companion for someone who enjoys training, enrichment activities and getting out on adventures together.

Penny is looking for an active home where she can continue to learn, have fun and build a strong bond with her new family. Once properly introduced, she can enjoy dog walking friends, but she’d love to be the only dog in the home so she can soak up all the attention for herself.

Could Penny be the perfect match for you? 🐾✨

✉️ We’ve got Mail!

🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛Mungo and Tess (previously known as Edward and Vivian), have settled beautifully into their new home. They love being close to their family, with Tess enjoying cosy lap cuddles while her adopter works from home, and adventurous Mungo spending his days exploring the fields and even taking strolls through the village to visit the local school children! 🐱

It’s wonderful to hear how happy and loved they are. Thank you to their family for giving them such a fantastic forever home and for sharing this lovely update with us. Stories like these remind us why we do what we do 🐾✨🧡

☀️ Our resident animals have been making the most of the sunshine! 🐾

From relaxing in the warm weather to enjoying some cooling enrichment, our lovely residents are always happy to see friendly faces.

We’re open daily from 10am–4pm, so why not pop along, say hello, and spend some time with the animals who call Oak Tree home? 🧡

You can also help support their care by sponsoring your favourite resident animal or making a donation, either in person or through our website. Every bit of support makes a real difference to the animals in our care.

A huge thank you to all of our amazing supporters, without you, none of this would be possible!!

Meet lovely Lola 💕

Lola is a very affectionate girl who is looking for a loving forever home. Full of personality and eager to please, she enjoys human company, cuddles, and getting out for walks with her favourite people.

She can be a little nervous when meeting new people, so slow introductions and a patient, understanding home would help her feel safe and settled. Once she feels comfortable, Lola’s friendly, loving nature truly shines through 🐾

Could you offer Lola the calm, caring home she deserves? 🏡
