Find an animal rescue near you

Dog rescues, cat rehoming centres, wildlife hospitals and sanctuaries, region by region — with links straight to each organisation.

How do I find an animal rescue near me?

Choose your region below to see established rescues near you, what animals they take, and links to their rehoming pages. If you can't adopt right now, you can still help: every gift in our shop funds real care for rescue animals.

Who should skip this: Skip this directory if you wanted a virtual gift or a high-street charity shop — those are different pages. These listings are for contacting established UK rescues about rehoming, not for taking a wild animal home via a tag.

29 rescues listed so far — the directory grows every month. Run a rescue that should be here? Tell us.
