National Animal Welfare Trust Berkshire

National Animal Welfare Trust Berkshire The National Animal Welfare Trust Berkshire is an animal rescue and rehoming farm. Our centre is home to both field animals and domestic pets.
(62)

Known locally as Trindledown Farm, we are also open to the public with shops and the chance to walk around an active rescue centre. Set in 10 acres on the edge of the Lambourn Downs, Trindledown Farm (NAWT's Berkshire branch) is dedicated exclusively to caring for those animals enjoying the twilight years of their lives. Elderly animals make great companions for people looking to rehome a pet and

can often suit those with the most sedentary of lifestyles. We rehome around 100 birds, cats, dogs and field animals at our Berkshire centre every year. Every animal has been individually assessed and cared for by our experienced and dedicated staff. All animals are vet-checked and assessed before being rehomed. Please be aware that we are continuing to receive extremely high volumes of enquiries about all animals available for rehoming. With limited staffing recourse at our centres, we are only able to contact potential owners once they have been matched to an animal, which means we are not able to contact every person who completes a homing form.

❗️ GRASS SEEDS ❗️

With Summer here, now is the time to be on the look out and wary of grass seeds with your dogs. These tiny seeds can easily get stuck in their paws, ears and even eyes! 😱 These seeds can easily lead to infections and discomfort so it's important to be vigilant witch checking your pets! 🐾 Here's what you need to know to help keep your furry friends safe during outdoor play this Summer ☀️

1 - Check regularly
After playtime or walks, inspect your pets. Check their fur, especially between their paws, on/in their ears and their bellies!

2 - Groom Often
Regular grooming can help you with spotting any seeds! 🌾

If you suspect a grass seed injury , don't hesitate to contact your local vets 🏩
Signs to watch out for include:
🐾 Excessive licking of paws
🐾 Limping
🐾 Head shaking or scratching at their ears
🐾 Swollen, red or squinting eyes

How time flies! 🪽

Our purr-fect bunch of kittens are zooming through their growing-up phase like little rocket ships! 😻🚀 We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw these pics! They'll all be off to their fur-ever homes shortly and we will be sure to miss their daily dose of mischief!

Thank you to everyone who donated towards their care. Our JustGiving page is still open if anyone would like to donate. We anticipate there will be an influx of kittens this year, similar to last year, so all remaining donations will contribute towards their care 🥰 https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/fromshedtoshelter

⭐ INTRODUCING VINNIE ⭐

Hi there guys! I’m bouncy puppy Vinnie 😆 I’m an 11 month old Beagle x Jack Russell and as you can see I am as handsome as can be! 😎

I’ve come to the centre as sadly I was just too much energy for my last owner- being part Beagle, I'm all about playtime and brain games to keep me entertained! 🐶🧠 As a young pup, I'm just a whirlwind of energy and excitement, eager to explore every nook and cranny! I've been a happy camper living with kids and another dog so I could potentially live with either again- especially if they helped me along with my training! 😊

Do you like long walks? me too!...long runs? even better! 😆 I am such a sweet boy and cannot wait to find my forever family to share all these exciting experiences with! Could my new family be yours? 🤞

⭐ INTRODUCING MILLY AND TILLY ⭐

Hi there, we are a pair of 3-year-old cavapoo sisters, Milly and Tilly! We are so glad that we have each other as we are very anxious girlies and get a lot of comfort from having the other around 🥰 Unfortunately, we haven’t had much experience of the world and so everything is very overwhelming at the moment- including walkies! 😰 But we are taking each day one paw at a time, and we can’t wait to find a loving owner who can help us on our journey to being confident, happy doggos! 😄

Everyday we're chowing down on yummy treats and getting used to the friendly faces who pop in to say hello and bit by bit our confidence is growing 😊 Since we're a couple of anxious gals, we're looking for a grown-ups-only pad where we can be the only dynamic duo. Our future owner will need oodles of patience as we navigate through this whirlwind of new experiences. It might take a while, but with plenty of love and training, we can make a perfect pair of companions for your family! 💙

If you think you’ve got the space in your heart and lots of time to dedicate to helping these two sweet anxious sisters, please register your interest here!

This week is and BonBon is here to help shout about this year's main focus 🥬 Healthy diet - Happy bunnies 🥬

Whilst hay and grass makes up 85% of a rabbits diet 🐰, rabbits also need greens/herbs 🌿🥦🥬🥒 incorporated into their daily intake! Some good examples are coriander, parsley and fresh mint.

Rabbits also need some concentrated food, so a handful of good quality pellets are also recommended to help fulfil their diet 😋

Check out Rabbit Awareness Week page for more info and advice on rabbits this week 😄

(P.s. BonBon is still available and on the hunt for this fur-ever home. Could he be the bun for you? 😍 https://www.nawt.org.uk/rehoming/animal/9692/ )

Today's an unusual one for the calendar 🗓, but a fun one! 😁 Today is world cat domination day 🌎🐱 and Smudge is doing his best "plotting world domination" look! How do you think he did? 😍

Smudge is still available and looking for his fur-ever home. Since he first arrived at the centre, Smudge has come out of his shell massively and we know he will only continue to grow in confidence with the right home! Could that be with you? https://www.nawt.org.uk/rehoming/animal/9686/

⭐️ INTRODUCING MAGGIE ⭐️

Hi there, my name is Maggie! You may have spotted me from the centre’s Shed to Shelter campaign as I found myself fit to burst with my 5 beautiful babies. Luckily, I found a safe shed to have them in just in the nick of time! 🥰 A kind lady found us all shortly after and brought us here. My babies are now looking to fly the nest, and as a young cat myself I am also looking for my forever home to finally be the kitten I haven’t had the chance to be yet! 🐾😻

The staff here couldn’t believe how friendly I was when I came in and how accepting I was to let my babies be handled by new people, so although I was a stray we believe I have been in a home at some point. I am just the most affectionate girl and love everybody! 😍 I am a big foodie which is great because I’ve got some catching up to do after feeding my 5 kittens and I also love to play when I get a free moment (there hasn’t been many of those recently! 😅)

I can’t wait to find my forever home and family and be the centre of attention! 🥰 As I am such a friendly girl I could live with children and potentially another cat as I have met some of them in the cattery and wanted to say hello!

If you’ve got room for a sweet little lady looking for a second chance, then please register your interest! 💙🐾

⭐️ INTRODUCING FRED, DAPHNE, BETTY AND BARNEY ⭐️

Hey there! Over here! Our names are Barney, Betty, Daphne and Fred! Our brother George has already been snapped up by a loving family and we can’t wait to do the same 🤗 We are all around 8 weeks old and are your typical fun loving, goofy kittens! We can be rehomed separately or if you’re looking for more than one furry friend we can go together too! As we are so young we could potentially live with dogs, cats and little hoomans! As long as they were gentle with us as we are still babies ourselves 😊 But here’s a bit more about each of us as we are of course unique in our own little way 😆

Hi! My name is Fred, I am the beautiful little tabby boy. I am quite brave and inquisitive and love to jump on my siblings to get them to play! I have cute spots on my belly and love to climb up high to get the best look out point! 🧐

Hi, my name is Daphne, I am probably the shyest out of the bunch and it has taken me a bit longer to get used to humans being around. All of us will need someone around lots in the beginning to help settle us in but I think I would especially love this to help build my confidence. I am such a sweet little thing and can’t wait to find to find my forever family! 🥰

Hey, I’m Betty! I am a sweet purry girl who loves tummy rubs! I love to snuggle up with my siblings and play with them too. Though I have little legs, I am quick on my feet so watch your step when Betty is about! 😂

Hi there, my name is Barney and I am the little runt of the litter. I am a bit smaller than my brothers and sisters but make up for it in confidence! I love to chase and play with my siblings and clamber about on things which are much higher than you would expect of a little lad like me! 😎

⭐️INTRODUCING RHUBARB AND CUSTARD⭐️

Hi there - Rhubarb and Custard here!

We are a dynamic duo who are both individually sweet 🍬 but can also make up a fun combo! Whilst we are both typical bulldogs, with our lack of coordination 🤭 we are both unique in our own way- making us both perfect individually and together! 😋

Due to our sweet natures, we are both happy to be rehomed together or apart. We are not very bonded, but both enjoy other dogs’ company so could easily go off on our own ways or settle into one family together! 😊

Rhubarb here! If you couldn’t tell by my cheeky smile 😁, I’m a bit of monkey 🐵 but I’m very clever and affectionate. I’m very food motivated – pass the hot dogs please! 🌭🤤 And can walk nicely on lead when I am focused (aka for food 🤩!) Sometimes I can get a bit carried away and get a little bit too excited but I’m working on paw-fecting my manners. Treats like chicken 🍗 or hot dogs 🌭 are great motivating rewards for me. Or squeezy cheese 🧀 or biscuits… did I mention I’m food motivated? 🤭

Custard here! I’m a bit of big kid compared to Rhubarb as I love my toys 🤩 and playing tug. Like Rhubarb, I am also very food motivated 🤤 but I’ve been told I need to practice a bit more patience and learn some paws on the floor manners 🐾 I’m a very excitable boy who isn’t fully aware of my size 🙈! So, I may accidentally take you down when in pursuit of a tasty snack 😋

Neither of us have lived with children before and due to our boisterous behaviour, the staff think we might be best suited to a home with older children 😊 Either of us could live with other dogs but cats are a big question mark- we’re not really sure what they are to be honest!

We’re just two loveable bulldogs looking for our forever families – could that be you? 🐶🐶

Our sweet girl Cookie still hasn't had any interest 😔 We can't seem to figure out why as Cookie is such a gentle girl and is coming out of her shell every day 😊🍪

She would be best suited to a quieter home and would thrive as the only animal, so if you're looking for a built in best friend then look no further as Cookie could be your perfect companion 🐾💙

⭐️INTRODUCING POPPY AND TWEAK⭐️

Hello there! My name is Tweak, and I am on home direct with my bestie, Poppy 👋 We are Tibetan Spaniels, and both approximately 12 years old, looking for a new home together! 🥰 Some of you eagle-eyed supporters may recognise us as we came to the centre last year and have since been living the most wonderful life 🤩 Unfortunately, due to medical reasons, our owner can no longer give us all the time we deserve so have made the hard decision to help us find a home where they know we will be spoilt rotten!

We are very close and enjoy a good snooze together 😴on our big comfy bed. And despite being a little shy to start with, we both really love spending time with humans and are very friendly with strangers we meet on our walks! 😍

We can still be a little bit shy, but we love being out and about and exploring all over the place! 🥾 I get SO excited when my lead is on and I’m ready to go!! Poppy takes a little more convincing – don’t tell her I told you, but she LOVES ❤️ her walks just as much as I do. We are gradually learning some training - so long as it involves lots of tasty treats… whoever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks had obviously never heard of chicken! 🍗 It would be SO great if our new humans would continue to work on this with us – and the chicken is definitely a non-negotiable! 😤

We haven’t really liked sharing our space or meeting with other dogs before and really only have eyes for each other 🥰, so we’d prefer to be the only dogs in our new home. We have lived with cats before, so we wouldn’t mind too much living with one of those again. We’ve never lived with any tiny humans but have met them on walks and do rather enjoy a fuss from them, but preferably we would be best suited to a home where the children are a bit older and understanding of giving us our space.

We’re looking for a peaceful retirement home together 🏠, where the humans will be very patient and understanding and allow us to settle at our own pace. We can’t wait to find the right family to shower us with all the love – could that be you? ❤️

⭐️INTRODUCING RIBBON AND FUDGE⭐️

Hi there! I’m Ribbon and this is my bestie Fudge 🐰🐰 Some of you who have been following our centre for a while, may recognise me as I was originally adopted from Berkshire back in 2021. Since then, I have been absolutely spoilt 😇 and well loved by the most wonderful human, who also introduced me to Fudge. We’re completely inseparable and love each other’s company 🥰

Unfortunately, our wonderful owner passed away recently but we have landed on all four feet at NAWT Berkshire whilst they help us find a new home 🏠

We’re a fairly confident duo with Fudge being the more social of us both. Whilst Fudge is straight up to you and ready for a cuddle, I am a bit more reserved. You have to earn my attention. But once you have it, I am a loyal friend for life 😍

We’re both used to being indoors and outdoors so would like a home that could give us access to both. We’ve not lived with children before and can be a bit skittish around tiny hands but we’re willing to give it a go as long as the tiny humans respect our boundaries 😊

We’re a loveable, unique duo – could we be the ones for you? 💙
