Thank you to everyone who expressed an interest in the job vacancy at our New Romney Centre. We received a huge response and have now filled the position.

We really hope it will be a happy, healthy, peaceful new year for all you wonderful supporters and friends.

Please help us make it happy, healthy and peaceful for the many dogs and cats who's year may not be what they were hoping for i.e. staying in their loving homes! Sadly, the economic climate is hitting hard and rescue centres are already feeling the squeeze, with our resources being stretched more than ever.  

We are more in need of your generous support than ever to allow us to continue our life saving work. We cannot  express just how much your help means to us - we couldn't continue our work without you, thank you so much.

Love from us all at Last Chance, especially the animals you have helped save. x
