Centre Plans

Currently Chesterfield Animal Rescue do not have a rescue centre, a place to call home

Currently Chesterfield Animal Rescue do not have a rescue centre, a place to call home, a head quarters from which to run the rescue, a place to showcase our lovely animals.

Every spare bit of cash we have - which isn't a lot - after buying food, bedding, vaccinations, microchips and daily care is being saved so we can buy a farm to be our rescue and rehabilitation centre. We are also planning to buy some land to keep green spaces green for wildlife releases.

We rely on our team members and volunteer foster homes to keep our animals safe until they are adopted. This severely limits the number of animals we can rescue as we have to turn away animals who need our help till we have somewhere for them to stay. We also use private boarding kennels which costs thousands each month because we don't have enough foster homes. Our own centre will save those funds to be used on site to save more lives.

RESCUE

At Chesterfield Animal Rescue we believe that every animal deserves another chance. Whether a dog is at risk of being put to sleep in the pound or an animal has an owner that can longer care for them we do our best to work with the councils and private owners to save their lives

REHABILITATE

We ensure all animals are fully assessed and rehabilitated to a high standard before they can be adopted. This means the underweight animals have gained weight, the untrained have been trained, and the terrified have become confident. All this is done before we will allow them to leave our care as we have the experience to help them overcome their issues.

REHOME

All animals are fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered before adoption, this is to ensure their health and safety at all times. We do home checks and follow ups as we strongly believe they are very important for the life-long safety of the animals. We also provide full back up and support for life. Puppies are on a neutering contract to be done when old enough.

Our Goals & Aims

To have large dog and cat lounges with large outside covered runs, these will give the animals we help a home like environment whilst they are looking for homes of their own and will limit the amount of stress for all of the animals, making their recovery, rehabilitation and stay with us much more enjoyable.
To have a vet room with an on-call vet to give low cost vaccinations and neutering, as well as microchips to everyone that needs them, eventually as our team is qualified, we would like to offer a walk in clinic for minor issues, flea and worm treatments for example.
To have the facilities to help other types of animals from small to large, from hedgehogs to horses and more.
To have secure and enclosed fields for exercising the dogs off lead. There will also be secure fields for visitors and their dogs, helping to raise vital funds for us. Enabling all dogs to enjoy safety off the lead.
To have on site training open to everyone, including obedience and agility, basic pet first aid and care.
To have education days and work experience for students.
To have a pool for dogs, not only to help them recover but for exercise and fun too, a safe swimming area.
To have a therapy room for those who need it, ideally working alongside other charities. Victims of crime and abuse often need a safe space to feel comfortable, we’d like to help them feel safe again.
and so much more…
