2) Support and rescue. The Animal Trust itself goes out into poverty areas rescuing and uplifting the lives of dogs, some of them living lives of unimaginable suffering, abuse and neglect. In these situations we are faced with four choices.

Mostly we find families that do the best they can with the little they have and although their animals are neglected, undernourished and with no form of shelter or protection against the harsh winter, we find they are often open to learning the correct way to own a pet. However they simply do not have the money or the know how and even though their animals are starving and neglected, they refuse to give them up. Many situations are heartbreaking as the law is against us the animals have no rights. We are left with one alternative, to educate and support them as much as possible.  Often they are extremely appreciative of our help and some brought to tears in their desperation. The deal we make with these families is we supply them with dog blankets, good strong kennels and an indefinite supply of healthy dog food every month, and in return they start treating their animals with kindness, compassion and respect.  Often this new way of treating their pets is very foreign to them, but with out fail, every family so far has met our challenge to some degree. We visit them every month while delivering the food and in the majority of these families, we find these once emaciated and terrified animals, now healthy, confident and playful.
