WEBSITE DESIGN
We must thank the person responsible for getting this whole site up and running:-

Tamsin from 'TamDesign' has designed and set up this website for us. As you can see, it is a very clear and easy site to navigate and from the feedback that we have recieved, you think so too. A really big thank you goes out to Tam from all of us here at Bobtails (including the animals) and you can click on the link to her site to see what else she has done, who knows ... she may be able to help you too.



VETERINARY SERVICES
David More BV MQS, MRCVS and the team at 'The Corner Veterinary Clinic' (www.thecornervets.co.uk) without whose support, knowledge and compassion we could not operate at the level we do. David is always ready to help us with the most difficult cases, and will never give up if there is any hope. We trust his advice and are so grateful he and his team are there for us.



OUR 'CHILDREN'
Bradley and Laura, our children, who have helped with the building up of Bobtails from the first vision to the reality it is today. From digging foundations, chopping trees, mixing concrete and filling goodness knows how many skips, to feeding, cleaning, handling, loving and caring for the animals and also crying with us over ones we could not save. Thank you for being there when we need you.



THE VOLUNTEERS
Also our thanks to our helpers, those who come and do the messy jobs like cleaning, bathing and grooming.

Aileen, who came for work experience and has stayed ... thank goodness.



OUR FOSTER CARERS
Mary and Dick, who originally came to us for a guinea pig, and now foster over 15 rabbits and guinea pigs. Not to mention all of their own adopted animals. Mary is a wonderful carer and is happy to take on animals that need lots of nursing and special care. We do not know what we would do without them.

Ann and Kim Fairhall, guinea pig fosterers. Wonderful at calming and bringing around nervous or badly treated piggies, they come back to Bobtails happy and confident little creatures.

Roseanna, another foster carer, whose help eases the number here at Bobtails and gives the rabbits in her care more one to one attention.



THE HOME CHECKERS
Thanks to all the people that carry out home checks on our behalf. The time it would take to travel all over the South of England home checking would mean we had time for nothing else!



AND FINALLY.......
Karen Duncan and Martin Pettifer, who have supported us in many ways and continue to do so. By boarding rabbits and guinea pigs under the name Critter Sitter and donating the proceeds to Bobtails, also for help in re-vamping our stationery etc. Not to mention adopting and fostering our bunnies!!! One more thing, I must thank Martin for giving me the chance to fly in a 1940s Tiger Moth. That was an experience of a lifetime and one that will not be forgotten. Yes, I am still grinning.
