Babbington Rescue was establish in February 1993 to cater for stray and abandoned dogs. They have a none destruction policy with a current average re-homing rate of over 1200 dogs a year. They have found homes for nearly 10,000 dogs, who through no fault of their own have come into their care.

They have been a family run business since 2003. Since this time they have built an extra 24 kennels, as well as knocking down the main rescue block and rebuilding it as it was in a very run down state and building a pet shop/cafe/reception. They have put all their savings into making the rescue a better place for the dogs, introducing vaccines, mircochipping and neutering/spaying. All full time staff are fully qualified in Animal care and some part time staff still studying. All full time staff have been trained via Pride Park Vets to give health checks, vaccines and microchip.

I want to raise £500 to help towards the great work this rescue does. Me and several friends will be doing a fancy dress xmas dog walk to raise money for them. It will take place on the 22nd dec at 12.30pm. Please come and watch/ donate. We will be walking down bath street and around Ilkeston in fancy dress. If we reach our target before the 22nd dec i will also dance through the town singing christmas carols dressed in an outfit of your choice. Please give what you can =)
