use the arrow keys. Hold the key down to move the map fast.
There are 311 rescue centers also called animal
sanctuaries, marked on this map. I believe that this represents about
90% of all animal rescue centers/facilities in the UK. The purpose is
to provide a one-stop web page where people can find out how far or
near the nearest animal rescue UK center is from them. I hope this
proves useful.
The map actually covers Northern Ireland as
well and the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. However, Google
struggled to map the very few sanctuaries at these places. Update:
I have now mapped the major animal rescue sanctuaries in the Republic of Ireland.
Cat Protection is a large rescue organisation that,
almost exclusively, uses foster homes in their
extensive operation. The foster homes of individual volunters cannot be
mapped for obvious reasons and there is no point in mapping them in an
case. You might like to visit their website. Update:
I have mapped the areas of operation of several branches in the south
west region of England. If you slide the map around (click on map and
drag mouse) you will see more. Click on the lines, placemarkers and
shaded areas to see what they represent. I am working on doing
something more comprehensive but the mapping tools that I have at my
disposal don't allow this currently.
The Blue Cross is another large animal rescue
operation that has shelters and which uses foster homes. Accordingly
their
entire operation is not mapped.
The RSPCA is the biggest in the animal rescue
field and they have by far the most animal rescue homes or sanctuaries.
All of these have been mapped bar one or two. RSPCA sanctuaries should
probably be
the first places to investigate if you are looking to adopt an animal
that needs a home.
Some independent rescue centres have not been mapped
because Google could not find them. If you are one of these independent
rescue organisations and would like to be on the map, please click the
link below.
If there are errors, and there will be some despite
my best efforts to achieve accuracy, please also click on the relevant
link below and tell me if you have the time.
