Because every animal deserves to be respected
Preventive care is the best way of showing these dogs somebody is really looking out for them, by not letting them contract diseases and parasites.
Taking care of animals means keeping preventable illnesses at bay.
Transmissible from dog to dog, a terrible condition easier to prevent than cure.
More than being a nuisance, these parasites may carry crippling or fatal diseases.
Neglect, abuse and abandonment, backed by lack of knowledge are the causes of suffering we need to address. How? By educating people.

🌟 Meet our PetPal Star, Hope! 🌟
Hope is the most amazing, most intelligent and loving dog, that I’ve ever owned.
I saw that even after her difficult start, she was very friendly with other dogs, people, other animals and even the wild life, geese, ducks etc, etc. This was very important to us.
I’ve owned many dogs over my life, loved them all unconditionally, but Hope is a very, very special lady, and I’m very grateful that we’ve been lucky enough to spend a few years together,
We know how much your furry friends mean to you—their playful antics, wet noses, and comforting purrs—and we’d love to celebrate them! Our Pet Pal Gallery is a space dedicated to honouring the pets who enrich our lives daily, where you’ll find heart-warming photos and stories.
The bond you share, whether forged through rescue, childhood companionship, or a chance encounter, holds a unique and valuable story. Don’t miss this opportunity; share their captivating magic with the world and let their spellbinding essence shine!

Their kindness and unwavering support make them truly special to us.
We will showcase your pet’s tribute with honor in our Pet Pal Gallery, alongside other cherished memories.

She is awesome!
It’s been two years today since Phoebe has been sharing our lives.
Here is Lola. She came home to us early on Sunday morning on the 3rd March.
Early this year, my family and I decided to open our house and hearts to a dog in need and give them a loving, forever home.
Tom is well. Very well. He has been an absolute joy to welcome into our home.
Alva came to us in July 2001. A small and scared fluffball who has really blossomed over the years.
Yoshi (aka Didier at ROLDA) is our family’s sunshine!
Hope came into the sanctuary, at 12 months old in the April after being abused by her previous owners.
The PetPal Gallery isn’t just a collection of pictures; it’s a vibrant celebration of the unique bond between humans and their pets, showcasing heartwarming images and capturing the joy and love they share. Every shared photo, capturing a playful moment or a tender gaze, and every message, echoing the love and admiration for these animals, helps us connect, remember, and appreciate the joy they bring.
Sharing your stories isn’t just about creating a loving keepsake; it’s a way to connect with your loved ones on a deeper level, preserving laughter, tears, and everything in between.
