    Terrible telephone manner and no concern for the animal. Just because the practice is about animals doesn’t mean the staff are animal lovers!

    This is where you can go and rehome an abandoned animal and give therm a loving home. The staff and volunteers are working hard to keep this place running. This is a brilliant charity to donate to. I would love to work here.

    Absolutely Amazing!! The staff are so kind and experienced! They were also brilliant with my daughter who suffers with extreme anxiety and made her feel welcome and calm when we went to visit our dog we adopted. The team who work there are truly amazing people and their work they do is amazing!

    I found a stray cat at the end of August, and took him straight to the vets who said he was all round healthy and happy, except for some skin issues on his back that would be helped by steroids and flea treatment. Around a month after having him with us he'd improved massively but we thought such a loving boy deserved a better home where he could get the affection he deserved, as he was by himself a lot whilst we were at work all day, with busy schedules the rest of the time, and he had so much affection to give, so took him to arc. I was told when taking him in that it would take a few months for him to be adoptable whilst they got his back sorted and some more weight on him. We left our numbers and were told we could check-in to see how he was doing, but we tried not to so we didn't get any more attached than we already were. After checking the website for months and not seeing him I thought I'd call, just to find out they euthanised him. We weren't even told, or we would have taken him back in a heartbeat. I don't know if it's a funding thing or not but regardless DO NOT take strays here. He was so loving and affectionate, with so much life in him, and his skin was improving by the day when we took him in, they didn't even give him a chance. Rip sweet boy, you deserved so much better, and I'll regret giving you to these people for the rest of my life.
