IMPACT

Because of You
Lollypop Farm set out with a new strategic plan in 2018, and since then we, too, have made a miraculous transformation. Our save rate is now over 90% for cats and dogs, a high standard in the animal welfare community. This achievement is not only representative of thousands of lives saved, but it also illustrates the effort devoted to every single pet in our care.
