Story
The National Animal Welfare Trust in Bedfordshire cares for and rehomes approximately 35-40 animals a month. Running a centre with this many animals obviously has high running costs, and fundraising is vital for us to continue to help the numbers of animals that we do. We are also currently in the middle of a massive centre rebuild, replacing much needed buildings that are literally falling apart and so the timing couldn't be worse... money is being stretched further than ever!
Rosie joined the animal care assistant team at NAWT in July 2023 and works with the dogs, cats and small animals.
“I grew up around 13 rescue dogs so I’ve always had a massive love for rescues, and love being a part of the animals journey until they find their forever home.”
She’s currently in her final year at university studying Bioveterinary services – so writing her dissertation AND marathon training at the same time!
“I’ve always enjoyed a challenge – I’ve hiked Scafell pike overnight for charity, and took part in the recent cold water swim challenge for NAWT, so I guess a marathon was the next logical step!”
National Animal Welfare Trust is a Rescue and Rehoming charity; caring for and rehoming up to 1300 animals a year. We care for animals who find themselves homeless through no fault of their own, bring them back to good health, train them and finally find them a loving forever home. We never stop caring and are here as long as an animal needs us, offering continued support to everyone that rehomes a pet. Our mission is to promote responsible pet ownership throughout the UK so that one day every pet might have the responsible owner they deserve.
