Eden Animal Rescue

Eden Animal Rescue is a charity who has been caring for animals since 1995. We started with a small number of people who fostered animals in their own homes. We help and care for neglected or unwanted animals and arrange for the provision of good homes for them.

The scale of our work is enormous; in an average year we home 400+ cats and Kittens and 120 dogs … not to mention rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs.

Eden Animal Rescue is proud of the fact that we have a non destruct policy and believe that NO healthy animal should ever be put to sleep. We always seek advice from our vets and behaviourist and it would be only on their advice that an animal would be euthanised.

For many years our busy rescue centre was located near Shap, Cumbria, but in 2016 we moved to a purpose built centre at Moorlands Head Farm, Newbiggin, Temple Sowerby, Penrith. Our new home has proved to be a wonderful place for our animals—the space, atmosphere and surroundings contribute massively to their wellbeing. As well as welfare needs and behavioural work, we also pay veterinary bills for vaccinations, neutering, any treatment required and micro-chipping. While an animal is with us we provide care, companionship and understanding and do all we can to match them to a great new home and owner.

Having only a small team of dedicated staff we rely heavily on the work of our fantastic volunteers.

To be able to do the valuable work we do at EAR we are continuously fundraising and we rely on your support and donations. We really could not do it without your generosity.
