Wood Green, The Animals Charity is an English animal welfare charity.[1] The charity was founded in 1924 as a response to the number of animals abandoned on London's streets.[2]
There are two shelters:[3]
- Heydon, on the Hertfordshire / Cambridgeshire border
- Godmanchester - the 52-acre headquarters in Cambridgeshire is one of the largest rehoming centres in Europe[4]
The shelter rehomes a variety of animals including dogs, cats and small animals such as rabbits, ferrets and guinea pigs. The pet charity also educates, advises and supports pet owners to help make a difference to the lives of pets and people across the UK.[5]
The charity has been affected by the Financial crisis of 2007-2009, with increasing numbers of dogs and cats abandoned by owners who do not have enough money to look after them.[6] They also are one of a few animal charities that operate a euthanasia policy for aggressive or ill animals.[7]
