Rescue Scottish Pets aims to help shelters by providing them with a place where they can advertise their pets in need, but also to help those wanting to rescue one place where they can view pets form many shelters.

Note that Rescue Scottish Pets is not an actual shelter so does not take or have any of the pets shown on the site. You must contact the shelter directly who has the pet by clicking on View Shelter's Contact Details beside the pet you are interested in.

If you want to rescue a pet but cannot find the right one on the site, I may be able to help as not all pets are listed by shelters I have contact with.

So just drop me an email (see Contact Me in menu at top of site).

Have you heard of OneKind?

OneKind is a UK-based animal protection charity working to end animal suffering through campaigns, research and education.

Here at Rescue Scottish Pets we find their approach enlightening and refreshing. They do research, campaign politically, and have a measured and excellent approach to difficult issues in animal welfare. Of particular issues close to our hearts is improving animal welfare in the meat industry. So often people do not take time to consider how the meat they buy was produced, or aren't aware of the different schemes and labelling out there. You can read about food labelling on the OneKind website at:

http://www.onekind.org/live_onekind/onekind_eating/food_labelling_assurance/

Rescue Scottish Pets recommend you only buy organic foods where possible, and only meat products that have animal welfare protection such as Freedom Foods and Soil Association Organic Standard food.

Please take some time to visit their website, sign up to their excellent and informative newsletters and maybe even donate!
