ABOUT US

HART is a small, volunteer-led charity based in Hay-on-Wye, Mid-Wales. It’s run by a team of dedicated trustees, with incredible support from our volunteers, admin team, and foster carers.

While we primarily help dogs and cats in need of new homes, we’ve also taken in small animals and other species during emergencies.

All animals in our care live with experienced and compassionate foster carers who welcome them into their own homes. These carers assess, rehabilitate, and support each animal until they’re ready for adoption. Before moving on to their forever homes, all animals are vaccinated, microchipped, neutered (when age-appropriate), and treated for fleas and worms.

Hay Animal Rescue Team (HART) was founded in January 2022 and is built on a strong foundation of experience in animal care, rescue, and welfare — focusing on domestic pets and feral animal populations.

Our mission is to be a lifeline for animals in need — and the people who care about them. Whether it's a litter of feral kittens needing shelter, a stray dog found wandering, or a much-loved pet looking for a new home, we’re here to help.

Operating across the border between Powys and Herefordshire, we’re committed to relieving the suffering of animals by providing safe, temporary care and supporting them on their journey to a better life.

If you need support rehoming a pet, or if you can offer a loving home, either as an adopter or a foster carer, please get in touch via our contact us page.
