Our journey has led us to rescue numerous animals and provided a loving homes for countless unwanted pets. Our thriving menagerie of exotic animals at The Burrows, our very own premises and headquarters, showcases our dedication to their well-being.

We had Dolly and her fabulous menagerie at our work family day, and they were absolute stars. Dolly is a lovely, warm person who engaged with everyone there. She clearly loves all living things and always puts the welfare of her critters first.
She had everyone so captivated that they even dared to “try”… spiders really aren’t the bad guys! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, and everyone who attended was absolutely delighted. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
No hesitation in recommending.

Living Things did an outstanding job at our school summer fair, despite extreme weather (heat) conditions. The children and parents enjoyed learning about chicks, guinea pigs, rabbits, and tortoises. I would highly recommend this company for birthday parties or school events. Dan was so accommodating and professional. thank you!

I can’t say enough good things about Living Things! They came out to my daughter’s second birthday, and the whole experience was incredible. The kids had a blast, but honestly, the adults enjoyed it even more! We all loved the animals, and Tasha was absolutely amazing. Every detail was so well thought out, and the educational aspect about the animals was spot on. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. I’ll definitely be booking them again in the future!

A huge thank you to Tasha, Dan and the team at Living Things for taking such great care of Linux during filming. From day one, his wellbeing was always the top priority, and it was clear how much care and attention went into making sure he was happy, comfortable and had everything he needed on set.

Their professionalism, kindness and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for better people to look after Linux, and we’re incredibly grateful for all their hard work.

We had the pleasure of hosting Amye from Living Things for our annual Bring Your Kid to Work Day! It is incredibly obvious how well-loved and cared for her animals are. The children had an amazing time, and Amye went above and beyond to ensure every single child had the opportunity to touch or hold the animals if they wanted to. It was a fantastic presentation, and we would love to have them back in the future. Thank you, Amye!

Dolly Dolittle was such a hit at my son’s party. She was interactive and managed the kids brilliantly, ensuring the animals were respected whilst allowing everyone to engage and enjoy the show. Several children told me it was the Best Day of their Lives! And my son wants her to come back next year- Thank you so much Dolly!
