Oak Tree Animals' Charity

Working for our community; caring for animals; making a difference. Oak Tree has been helping animals for 113 years. We are passionate about animal welfare and believe that every animal matters, helping hundreds of animals every year. In 2021 we were able to assist 2615 animals and their owners. Our mission is to help companion animals in need. Finding them a safe and comfortable home 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 seeks to find solutions for pet owners, wherever practical and appropriate, keeping pets in loving homes and avoiding unnecessary stress and heartache. We work alongside our partners at the foodbank, 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 we also work with schools and community groups to educate the next generation of pet owners. Oak Tree is a full member of both the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes and the National Equine Welfare Council. Contact us at: 01228 560082 or info@oaktreeanimals.org.uk
