The Great Indie Fest
Five days of adoptions, free vaccinations, street-dog kits and one very good draw. Thank you to everyone who turned up, fostered, volunteered, bought a ticket and took one home. The dogs and cats are still here, and so is the work.

After the fest
What carries on
The fest runs for five days. The rescuing does not stop when the stalls come down.
Adopt a rescue
The fest is five days. The dogs and cats are every day of the year, and there are always more waiting than there are homes.
Start an adoptionFoster one
A foster home is what lets us say yes to the next rescue. Weeks, not years, and we cover the medical costs.

Vaccinations, sterilisations, emergency pickups and the food bill in between. A donation is eligible for an 80G receipt.
