Oak Tree Animals' Charity

Our mission is to help companion animals in need. Finding them safe and comfortable homes and helping the community to understand their needs, through support and education.

We find dogs, cats and horses loving new homes, rescuing and rehabilitating them to give them the best chance of a bright future. Rehoming is intrinsically reactive, something has gone wrong. Our proactive community approach finds solutions for pet owners, keeping pets in loving homes and avoiding unnecessary stress and heartache.

We work alongside our partners at foodbanks, social services, housing associations and other local organisations to help vulnerable pet owners who desperately need our help. Our Helping Paw programme provides vital short-term fostering for those who are homeless or fleeing domestic violence, helping them rebuild lives while knowing their pet is safe and well cared-for. We run community clinics and training classes to offer welfare advice and support and work with schools and community groups to educate the next generation of pet owners.
