Hey everyone! My name is Lily and I'm starting my journey to open my own animal rescue centre in Mid Wales! I've been a self employed pet sitter (Toe Beans) for the past five years and have unfortunately seen some upsetting things. I've hosted fundraisers for other rescue centres but sadly, there are very few. I have teamed up with North Clywd Animal Rescue on the North coast of Wales and Many Tears Animal Rescue on the South coast. I have also worked with a lady from the RSPCA who admitted that even they are struggling really bad to find places for all the animals in need.

North Clwyd are currently at full capacity with 68 dogs on site and have over 600 dogs on the waiting list... These dogs have no choice but to stay in abusive situations until there's room for them in rescue centres.

Being based in Mid Wales, I am in the perfect location to help spread out the work load. I have applied for start up help, business loans, grants and more but I have been denied because I'm "only 23" and I'm "only one person".

So after a year and a half of dead ends, I have decided to make my dream public in the hopes that I can get the help and support I need to start this project.

I have already used my reputation as a pet sitter to rescue and re-home 10 dogs but I want to be able to help even more!
