In April 2022, Christabel joined 30 other pet photographers around the globe to raise money for animal rescue with the Tails of the World book project (2022 edition).

Christabel photographed ten dogs exploring various local country estates, mansion gardens and castle grounds, raising over $900 for Many Tears Animal Rescue (MTAR). The rescue group has foster homes throughout the UK, and they take in and rehome primarily ex-breeding dogs who are no longer required; those on ‘death row’ in the pounds and those whose owners are no longer able to keep them.

They are a unique rescue in that the majority of our dogs are ex-breeders and many have never seen the outside world before. The rescue has grown considerably since it first opened and now homes in excess of 3,000 dogs a year.
