Rodney Animal Rescue was born out of Alice’s love of helping animals and people in need. For Alice, it isn’t just about taking an animal that is suffering and making it better – although that is rewarding and a huge part of what we do here. It’s also about educating the owner to assist the future relationship between people and animal, ensuring the partnership can remain.

Alice Hayward is an experienced vet nurse with 15 years of experience in clinic, on farm, and with rescuing a wide range of animals out of her own pocket. With the rescue part of Alice's life continuing to grow, it became apparent it needed to be formalised, and so Rodney Animal Rescue was born.

We are happy to assist with a wide range of rural animals - from ducks through to horses, sheep, pigs and alpaca’s. If it is in need of vet care, rehab from an injury, or the owner is in need of some short-term assistance to get the care required for the animal – we are here to help.

Supporting Alice and her endeavours are a team of dedicated trustees in place to ensure Rodney Animal Rescue is a success. Read on about how you can help and support our efforts.
