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

We can't believe it is Christmas again! It has been such a busy year.

We are all working really hard to help all the many dogs and cats that need us right now, but would love to take a moment to say a happy Christmas to everyone.

Thank you for all your support throughout the year, our life saving work is more in demand now than ever before, and we couldn't do it without you.

Love from us all at Last Chance x

Due to a massive rise in the numbers of animals needing our help we are appealing for volunteers to join us at both centres to help with dog walking/cat cuddling/driving/general cleaning etc. If you could spare a few hours on a ad hoc basis we would love to meet you. Please use our contact form to let us know your name, contact details, age if under 18 and which centre you would like to volunteer at please.

We look forward to hearing from you.

COULD YOU HELP US TO HOME A DOG OR CAT? Could you spare an odd hour now and again to check out potential homes for rescued animals – usually cats or dogs. You may only be asked to do this on rare occasions but it would help us to know we can call on you if we need to. It is very rewarding to visit the animal, which you have helped to re-home and see the progress they are making. You do not need special skills to do this work. It is voluntary and anyone with sound common sense and compassion could do it. We will give you all the information required, and you will be escorted on the first home check with an experienced home checker within your area. If and when this is not possible, one of the Trustee’s will talk you through the procedure, we are always contactable to give advice. We depend on our Home Checkers as without their help we could not go on saving thousands of lives each year. Please  contact us to request a Home Checkers Pack 

Thank you

Hey, look at the great raffle being held at our charity shop! Only £1.00 per strip- draw being held on the 16th December. Please visit the shop buy some tickets and support our charity.
