We desperately need cat fosterers!! We are inundated with calls with people abandoning their cats. We are struggling to find temporary accomodation for them, we need people who would like to foster cats on a temporary basis. If you can help, please get in touch. E-mail - t.a.r.r.s@hotmail.co.uk

My name is Sophie Peacock, I've lived with animals all my life but have been
working with them since 1997. My first job was in a dog and cat rescue kennels close to where I lived. During
my career I worked my way up the ladder becoming a kennel manager, looking after 120 boarding, quarantine and rescue
dogs and 40 boarding, quarantine and rescue cats and a range of rare breed farm animals including pigs, ducks, sheep,
goats and chickens. I am now a full-time Animal Welfare Officer in Warwickshire and also run my rescue
and rehoming centre The Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation Society (T.A.R.R.S). Its extremely hard work, with some days
working over 10 hours but I get great satisfaction with my work and love doing it. I recently gave up my dog training and behaviour company called D4 Dog Training & Behaviour due to the demand of the rescue taking priority, so the upkeep of the charity is now down to public donations, events and sponsors. One day I would like to see T.A.R.R.S with their own kennels along with a fantastic team of partners, rescuers,
supporters, fundraisers and volunteers. I currently have around 10 volunteers who walk the dogs plus a couple
of foster homes for the dogs when in need. They all do a marvellous job and it couldn't be done without their help.
We still need more fosterers to help with our work, if you feel you can help, please get in touch.
In December 09 we lost our kennels that we used, we now only use fosterers to look after the animals until a new kennels can be built. If you feel you can help in any way with funding or providing a foster home we would be happy to hear from you. The Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation Society (T.A.R.R.S) is currently finding new ways to look after animals in its care and a new structure will hopefully come to light making it better for the animals welfare that come into the rescue. Please be patient while this new structure is being formed, it will not happen over night and may take several months. T.A.R.R.S is also now looking onto getting a new website, where you can view our video's of animal rescue's and the animals we have in the rescue that are looking for new homes.....watch this space!
Bailey is our current star of the rescue having appeared on Mark Powletts show from BBC Coventry and Warwickshire radio asking if anyone would like to give her a new home. She did a fantastic job of selling herself on the radio by falling asleep during the interview and when Mark asked for a cuddle during the show, she decided the view out of the window was far more important, well done Bailey. She did get a tremendous amount of fuss from the people who work there, which made us all happy and very worth while and thanks to everyone including Kim and Ryan from K9 Media for letting us have the chance to try and find a new home for Bailey.  |

 Woofin News Hi All, We are still only using foster homes to look after our animals and they are slowly increasing but the rescue is still looking for land to buy and will hopefully be starting the next campaign for the Re-building of TARRS, so please keep an eye out for that and find out the ways you may be able to help. We are currently getting lots of calls from people who have abandoned their pets and moved away and let these poor animals fend for themselves. We desperately still need foster carers for cats or donations to help build a small cattery. All vet bills, litter, food etc will be paid for whilst in foster care. We have a very beautiful black long-haired female kitten approximately 8 weeks old ready for re-homing if anyone is interested, she is probably the calmest and friendliest out of the bunch of 4 that turned up one day on a very welcoming family who spotted mum and kittens at the bottom of their garden under the water butt. All the rest have new homes, so just little kittie left. Contact through the usual means. Can I also just remind new people to the website and rescue that the rescue is run by volunteers, I do most of the work of admin, finance, maintainace of the website, looking after animals, answering calls and e-mails and have a full-time job, all the other brilliant volunteers who give their time to the rescue to foster, answer calls when I'm busy and help out at rescue missions. Please keep trying the phone if you can't get through and send an e-mail if possible, it may not be answered immediately but I will try to answer all that come in. Soph and the animals.x |
