Our organization is 100% volunteer run with no paid positions – every dollar goes directly into animal care and operations. We do not receive government funding and rely solely […]
Out with the old and in with the new. We wanted something fresh, fun, funky and fabulous! So we held a t-shirt design contest. We had several designs sent in some from professionals, some from amateurs all awesome and were impressed with so many of them. After a small panel of random EHS volunteers voted […]
R&R were found in a construction site with their six puppies. Regal hunted for food and Royal protected the puppies. The site was going to be occupied, so a kind lady rescued them.

In the dead of winter our eight-year-old house cat went missing. She had never been outside in her life. It was a pet nightmare - she was gone for six weeks and in the end we found her literally a stone’s throw from our house. I spent those six weeks ‘cat hunting’. Our neighbours were […]

Despite incredible hardship, illness and years of abuse, Phoenix’s spirit remains unbroken. She has love and joy for everyone she meets.
