We have opened our home as a refuge for abandoned companion animals. Our aim is to where possible rescue, provide shelter, love and good quality care, while we find an adoption into a new loving home. We are a not for profit organisation. There is a pet over population crisis. This is due to unrestricted breeding, lack of laws protecting animals and lack of good quality homes willing to adopt. This results in many young, healthy, friendly companion animals having their lives taken from them in council pounds, rspca shelters or are cruelly abandoned on the street. This is incredibly unfair and we want to save whoever we can from this injustice. We do this by advocating desexing of companion animals, stricter animal protection laws and rescuing whomever we can from death row in pounds and/or rspca shelters.

We do also when possible rescue whoever we can from cruel factory farms and slaughterhouses. These poor animals include chickens and rabbits. With kindness, respect and compassion these beautiful animals can be rehomed as companions to kind guardians. Unfortunately we live in an urban area and are unable to rescue large animals.

We are proud animal rights advocates, we acknowledge that non human animals are sentient beings like humans thus they deserve the basic right to be treated with compassion, fairness and protection. Animals are not human slaves, commodities or property. Their suffering and wellbeing deserves equal consideration.

We do and have helped with cruelty cases the rspca have not assisted with, if you know of cruelty to animals please email us at amy_maree@hotmail.com as we may be able to help. You can also report cases to Animal Liberation.

We do offer discount desexing, microchipping and vaccination for people in genuine need of assistance. Please email us with your request at amy_maree@hotmail.com

We are located in Mayfield, Newcastle, NSW 2304, which is 2 hours North of Sydney.

We have been rescuing and rehoming since 2007. We work with some great vets that give us generous discounts and have had a lot of success rehoming companion animals in need.

Come and meet them, have a chat with us, if we feel you are good adoptees then you can take them home on trial for a couple of weeks. If we and you are happy with the adoption after the trial period then you can officially adopt them permanently.

We do provide a refund for animals that may have been accidentally sick when they were adopted out to you. If new guardians would like to keep them we can also pay for veterinary medical care in this situation at no cost to the new carers.

We can take adopted animals back for change of mind but we do not provide a refund for this. We keep the adoption fee as a donation for the time and effort we put into homing them to you, and the cost of keeping them until we can find them a new loving home.
