LAST CHANCE ANIMAL RESCUE

LAST CHANCE ANIMAL RESCUE , WITH CENTRES IN EDENBRIDGE AND NEW ROMNEY , AIMS TO RE-HOME ALL ABANDONED AND UNWANTED ANIMALS FOR WHOM THIS REALLY IS A ‘ LAST CHANCE ’. THIS MONTH , WE SPOKE TO THE RESCUE ABOUT THEIR PLANS AND WHY THEY ARE STILL SO NEEDED …
As our name suggests we rescue , rehabilitate and re-home abandoned , abused and unwanted dogs and cats . We not only take in animals in dire straits from the public but also rescue regularly from dog pounds where the dogs are on ‘ death row ’.
Our rescue centre is unique as we treat every one of the animals in our care as if they were our own . We give them all the medical treatment they may require , regardless of cost , and we give them clean , comfy kennels or cat cabins which are heated and have nice cosy beds . They all have their individual dietary needs met and receive lots of walks and if they like them , cuddles during the day . We ensure each animal is neutered , ID chipped and inoculated and they leave Last Chance with four weeks ’ pet insurance to get them off to a good start in their new homes . We are non-destruct and will take care of our dogs or cats until they find a loving home .
We have been rescuing needy pets for over 25 years , during which time the charity , which started very small in Edenbridge , has grown into upgraded facilities , and we are now fortunate enough to have a second centre in New Romney . We are constantly improving all aspects of Last Chance so that we can provide the very best care for the animals and currently are fundraising to complete works on a second kennel block at our New Romney Centre .
Over the years we have saved thousands of dogs , puppies , cats and kittens as well as rabbits and guinea pigs too . We rescue approximately
