In July two cats were dumped outside our Outlet
shop and were found by Shop Manager Sue.
Sue said “They were squashed together in a
tiny box and could barely move. One of them
had messed himself out of fear, and I could see
through the box that both were in an appalling
condition with bleeding scabs on their skin.”
The cats were cared for at our rescue centre and
we named them Apollo and Aurora.
Aurora was heavily pregnant when dumped
and due to the stress of her ordeal she didn't
give birth for a further three weeks. Following a
difficult labour lasting 24 hours - with our vets
having to attend in the middle of the night -
Aurora finally gave birth to four healthy kittens.
Mum and all the kittens are doing very well at the
rescue centre.

Cover story
For the love of Larry
Every once in a while a really special animal will come into our care who needs equally special new owners
to be able to offer them the happy life they deserve.
When Larry arrived at the rescue centre in February 2018 he was considered a “dangerous dog”, barking
and lunging at everyone and everything he encountered. However it quickly became apparent to our
expert team that Larry was just extremely undersocialised – the most undersocialised dog we have ever
had at the rescue centre. We can only imagine what his past may have been like, but he had no experience
of life and didn’t know how to react to anything.
Our kennel team and volunteers worked very hard to help Larry and he soon showed himself to be a very
sweet dog – but unfortunately, as he was so stressed around new people and things, he continued to
display his reactive behaviour to any potential rehomers who visited.
Claire our kennel manager said “There was a time we wondered if, despite all our best efforts to help
Larry, we would ever be able to find him a new home - as who would come forward with the experience,
time and patience to help him? However, after Larry had been in rescue for almost a year, along came
Karen and Ian. They are an amazing couple and we're all so impressed by the hard work they've done with
Larry. They have changed his life forever!”
Lucy D Photography www.lucydphotography.com
It’s lovely to see Larry finally enjoying a normal doggie life
“We have continued our training sessions with Carl twice a week, and Carl has taught us how to use
positive reinforcement methods to help Larry gradually become desensitised to many of the things he
found so difficult before.
“For example every afternoon Ian has been walking him around our local shopping centre and car park.
As it’s a big area and fairly quiet in the afternoons he can keep Larry at a distance from things which
trigger him and keep him below his excitement threshold, gradually bringing him closer but being able to
move away if it seems he is going to react – and using lots of treats to reinforce his calm behaviour.
“Thanks to all our hard work Larry is now completely fine with people – even new people – and cars,
including going in the car. All these things have now become normal to him, so he doesn’t need to react.
He has been to the pub with us and sat quietly at our feet, has met other dogs off the lead and coped
extremely well. Recently Larry went on a trip to Pets at Home and walked around the store with Ian - on
a very busy Saturday - and he took it all in his stride! What a difference six months can make! There's
never a dull moment in our house now but so glad we gave him a home and a happy life! ”
Ian says “Although Larry is fine with other dogs off the lead, he can still be reactive when on the lead.
We have recently started going to a great new group training with Carl called ‘Adult Calm & Connection’,
where reactive dogs get to encounter other dogs in a safe and supported environment. Everyone there
Karen explains: “There was something about Larry when I first saw his photo - I knew he was the dog is so supportive as they all want you to succeed! It’s such a great class – everyone has had such good

and calm dealing with everyday life. with so much love to give!”

Scavenging for success
Please help us make our dream of new kennels a reality We held our first Corporate Scavenger Hunt
on a rainy day in August. Businesses from
across the area were given a list of 20 things
to find and dashed off to collect as many
items as they could! Between them teams
from Frankman Design, Riviera Insurance,
Stephens Scown Solicitors and the winning
team, the G12 Networking Group, raised
over £1000! The day was rounded off with
a lovely networking event which, as well as
raising more funds, was a really enjoyable
way of showing local companies what we
do and how they can support us.
The event was so much fun and so
successful that we are holding another
event on Wednesday 11th December, with a
Scavenger Hunt during the day and a Mince
Pie and Mulled Wine afternoon networking
event. Please get in touch if you’d like to
take part in this fun team-building day!
We need to raise £1.2 million to achieve our dream
We have already received a fantastic response from our wonderful supporters but we cannot afford to lose our
momentum. Thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign so far – you are all pawsome!

Specical anniversary feature
Celebrating 25 years
“We've had lots of laughs and lots of
tears. I wouldn't have missed it for
the world.”
It’s hard to believe it but this year marks the 25th
anniversary of our wonderful rescue centre in
Ipplepen. On 1st September 1994 the centre was
officially opened by John Inman and over the years
since then we have taken in many thousands of
homeless animals that have come to us, desperately
in need of our help.
Animals in Distress was founded in 1981 by three
ladies Mrs Eileen Hunt, Mrs Georgina Lang and
Mrs Muriel Sellick. In the early days of the Charity
we would privately board homeless dogs in local
kennels until we could find loving new homes for Our new rescue centre was officially opened on 1st September 1994 by John Inman. Left to

rescue centre. pigs, and ponies. Lisa Saunders (now our Cattery Manager) looked after all the farmyard animals. The farm
animals all lived their lives out with us.
“Back when we had no centre, the Charity was run from Muriel Sellick’s garage in Ellacombe, from where we
sold donated bric-a-brac to raise the much needed funds. Dog boarding fees were very expensive, but then
in 1994, thanks to some generous legacies we were lucky enough to be able to buy the former Greyhound
racing kennels at Biltor.
“I moved into the bungalow at Biltor in March 1994 as the Centre Manager and Keith Parker – who had
previously worked there at the Greyhound kennels – became my deputy. We were the only members of staff,
but Keith was my rock – he always turned up to work, even in the thickest snow. If a dog was having puppies
he would stay in the kennels all night to make sure that everything was ok.

“I’ll never forget one day when a lorry arrived, full of what looked like rescued oven-ready chickens with
no feathers. We found homes for some of the chickens and the rest stayed with us. They grew back all their
feathers, and we were never short of eggs!
“I remember one morning we went out and they had all gone - they’d flown up into the trees! They soon
came down again when it was feeding time.

“There were so many animals on site that
we were really busy all the time. We also ran
a 24-hour emergency service – which was
just me on the end of the phone! I remember
going out in the middle of the night to
rescue kittens.
“We also had many centre cats who would
roam around the site.
“Over time we improved all the buildings.
We built a maternity cattery, stables for the
farm animals, an improved rabbit building
and a rodent room.
“It was very hard work but it was good – I
wouldn’t have missed it for the world. We
were like a family, the staff and volunteers.
We were very close and we had lots of
laughs, and lots of tears.”
Christine retired in 2010 but still works for
the Charity as a volunteer, giving talks in
the local community about the vital work of

Will you take part in our 25th anniversary appeal?
We are challenging as many people as possible to raise £25 before the end of the
year, as part of our 25 year celebrations. Please get in touch to tell us about your
fun fundraising ideas! The money you raise will feed a dog or cat for a month.

Over the years we have made big improvements to our cattery and rabbit and guinea pig accommodation,
including sensory gardens where the animals can spend time in the sunshine. We have a veterinary suite
and special care unit on site so our animals don’t have to travel for vital treatment. We always strive for
the highest possible welfare standards and our next project is to rebuild our kennels (see page 8).
We are so grateful for the wonderful facilities we have today and all the incredible hard work of everyone
involved in the early days of the charity. Thanks to them, and all the support of our wonderful local
community, we are now able to rescue and rehome over 600 dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs each year.
