HART is a small, charity based in Hay-on-Wye in Mid-Wales run by three trustees - Becky, India & Mark- with the help of an amazing volunteer admin and foster team.

We mainly help dogs & cats in need of new homes, but have taken in small animals and others in an emergency. All the animals that come into our care live with our wonderful, dedicated foster carers who look after the animals in their own homes. They assess, rehabilitate and care for the animals until they are ready to move on to their forever families, having been vaccinated, neutered (when age appropriate) microchipped, as well as flea and worm treated.

About us

Hay Animal Rescue Team (HART) was started in January 2022 by two Beckys! Both have a background in animal care, rescue and advice for domestic, farm, feral and wild animals. Unfortunately due to ill health one of the Becky’s had to step down and in her place India & Mark stepped in as Trustees with Becky T.

The main aim of HART is to provide a lifeline for people who have an animal in need. That might be an unexpected litter of feral kittens in a barn, a red kite that has crash-landed, a fledgling house martin that needs putting back in its nest or a boisterous terrier that needs to find his active forever home!

If you need help in finding a new home for your pet, or if you can offer an animal a loving home, either as an adopter or foster carer, please use our contact page to get in touch.
