As Scotland’s only all-animal emergency rescue service, our Animal Rescue Officers and Inspectors are on the road 24/7 responding to calls to rescue animals – whether it’s stray pets, concerns about animal welfare, wildlife or farm animals.

We have a presence in communities across Scotland when animals need us.

Unfortunately, we do see animals being abandoned by owners who we know must be struggling. Abandonment is never the answer and we urge anyone who isn’t coping with an animal to contact us to let us do our work to help you keep your pet or consider all options that mean no animal has to be abandoned.

The work doesn’t stop at the rescue. When an animal is taken into our care, we often have to work to rehabilitate those animals.

We will always aim to reunite stray animals with their owners. We encourage every pet owner to microchip their beloved pet, so, if the unthinkable happens, and we are called to pick up an animal, owners can be contacted easily.

If an animal needs to stay in our care after a rescue, our team must determine the best way to help that animal. For many animals, that means finding them a foster home, which is a great way to love and care for an animal without the commitment of adopting.

When we cannot foster an animal, we will do everything we can to give all animals the very best care possible until we find them their forever home.
