Animals in Distress (Torbay & Westcountry)


We are an independent rescue centre and very proud to have been part of the South Devon community for nearly 40 years.
From humble beginnings, the charity has grown tremendously and now re-homes over 600 cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs in South Devon every year. We also support some of the most vulnerable people in the community who, for example, are no longer able to look after their pets due to ill health or bereavement.
While the animals are with us we strive to keep them healthy and happy by providing regular vet checks, feeding them quality food and giving them every opportunity to exercise and socialise. We try to provide the majority of veterinary care on site to prevent unnecessary stress and we ensure all of our dogs and cats leave us having been microchipped, vaccinated and neutered, as well as treated for fleas and worms.
Without the help of our generous supporters in the local community and beyond, we simply would not be able to provide this vital service.
