Argyll Ani­mal Aid (By Oban)

Argyll Ani­mal Aid was formed around 20 years ago when a small group of us, all ani­mal lovers, decided to do some­thing about the lack of a local ani­mal res­cue shel­ter. From very small begin­nings of look­ing after ani­mals in our own homes, and just res­cu­ing and rehom­ing in areas around us, the char­ity now res­cues and rehomes along the west coast of Scot­land, inland , and the islands. Any­where, in fact, where there is a need — pro­vid­ing we have the resources at the time.

Many years ago one of our local vets told me that before we came on to the scene most unwanted ani­mals taken into the surgery were destroyed — cats dogs, kit­tens, pup­pies. Every­thing. The fate of those which didn’t get as far as the surgery doesn’t bear think­ing about. Ani­mals which were found on the street were kept for their ‘legal’ time, after which, if nobody turned up for them or a new owner couldn’t be found, they were also destroyed.
