Welcome to the National Animal Welfare Trust

The National Animal Welfare Trust’s Somerset branch launched a fundraising appeal for Rose, a deaf Collie puppy with a major heart defect.

Four and half month old Rose is living on borrowed time.  Rose has just 6 weeks to have corrective heart surgery before she goes into heart failure.  The surgery to close a blood vessel must be performed by a specialist at a cost of £5,000.

Founded in 1971 the Trust is now one of the top 10 animal rescue and re-homing charities in England, and runs 5 rescue & re-homing centres across the country. Our centres are located in Watford, Berkshire, Essex, Somerset and Cornwall.   

The Trust is Home to a surprisingly wide variety of animals primarily dogs and cats but farm animals, horses and donkeys, ducks, poultry and small domestic pets too.

The Trust is a non-political and non-campaigning organisation, it simply concerns itself with looking after some of life's casualties. It receives no money from the government and relies entirely on voluntary contributions to carry out its work.

From this home page you will find links to the different centres, information about how you can support our work and a range of gifts available for sale.
