RATS Animal Rescue (previously the Rehoming Animal Telephone Service) began as a Registered Charity in 1984, when a small group of animal lovers got together and began connecting those who needed to rehome an animal with those who wished to adopt. At the time, this was all done via the telephone - hence the previous name 'Rehoming Animal Telephone Service'!

Eventually dogs, cats and small mammals were fostered by volunteers in their own homes until permanent, vetted homes were found - and fundraising activities were organised to pay for urgent vet bills and neutering.

Over the years they were fortunate to receive income from legacies and this enabled them to achieve their dream of purchasing their own kennels.

The kennels are located near Buntingford in Hertfordshire and here our dogs now reside. The cats and small mammals continue to be fostered in the Bedford area by volunteers.

Their policy is to never put a healthy animal to sleep, simply because no home has been found, and their ultimate aim is to ensure that the animals are rehomed into suitable, loving and secure homes where they may live out the rest of their lives happily.
