At Independent Vehicle Solutions, we spend our days making sure vehicles reach the right destination safely and with care.
But for our Managing Director, Jayne, care and compassion extend far beyond the automotive world.
Several years ago, while travelling to Tunisia where some of our IVS team members are based, Jayne discovered a small animal sanctuary online called The Street Haven Animal Sanctuary. Wanting to see the incredible work for herself, she made the journey to visit - and what she found there left a lasting impression on her heart.
Nestled in Haouaria, Tunisia, the sanctuary is run by an extraordinary woman named Justine. Originally from England, Justine has dedicated the last 15 years of her life to rescuing and caring for abandoned, injured, abused, and vulnerable street animals. What began as rescuing dogs from the streets soon grew into something much bigger. Eleven years ago, she bought a farm to create a safe haven for the animals who had nowhere else to go.
Today, the sanctuary provides shelter, warmth, food, veterinary care, and above all, love, to hundreds of animals who would otherwise be forgotten.
Jayne saw first-hand the devotion, compassion, and tireless work that goes into keeping the sanctuary running. She also saw the enormous challenges that come with caring for so many animals, entirely through donations and the kindness of supporters.
The experience touched her so deeply that she personally brought three rescued cats back to the UK, where they are now cherished members of her family.
At IVS, we are incredibly proud to support this wonderful sanctuary and the remarkable work Justine continues to do every single day. Although the sanctuary may be many miles away, its mission is very close to our hearts.
Every contribution, no matter how small, truly makes a difference. Donations help provide:
• Essential veterinary treatment
• Food and clean water
• Safe shelter and bedding
• Rescue and rehabilitation for abused and abandoned animals
• Ongoing care for animals who may never find homes
If you are able to help, we would be so grateful if you could support The Street Haven Animal Sanctuary. Your kindness could help save another life and give another animal the safety and love they deserve.
Please take a moment to visit their page at the link below, meet Justine and her beautiful rescue family, and see the incredible work being done there every day.
From all of us at Independent Vehicle Solutions - and especially from Jayne - thank you for caring.
