What would you like to do?
We recently encountered an issue with receiving emails sent from our website. This problem has now been resolved. We apologize for any lack of response you may have experienced. Please contact us again with any enquiries. Thank you.
Keep up to date with what has been going on.
Eden Animal Rescue Charity Shop in Penrith needs your help on Saturdays! We are urgently seeking volunteers to cover two shifts:
10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 4:00PM
Due to staffing shortages, we cannot afford to close the shop, as every moment open helps support the rescue and care of animals in need.
If you’re able to spare a few hours and help us continue our work, please get in touch! Your time will make a real difference.

We have many animals, all with their own personalities and needs, but all with one hope… that they can be the next one to find their new home. Providing them with this chance is quite simply the best way we can help them.
It can be just as good for you as it is for them! That’s not to say it might not take some work (and likely a lot of patience!) as all involved adjust, but we are sure you can already imagine the rewards when everyone has settled in together.
If you think you might be able to offer one of our animals a forever home, you have already taken your first step by looking at our webpage. Your next step is to contact us. Our Rescue Centre at Moorlands Head Farm is open 6 days a week by appointment 11:30am to 3pm (we are closed on Wednesdays for staff training – sorry!). We will ask you to fill out a questionnaire and if you decide to adopt an animal from us, once approved you will have a new friend for life. We may request a home visit after a few weeks.

Ways to Donate to Eden animal rescue
DONATE CASH OR GOODIES/THINGS
Raising funds is a huge part of our work and without this money we quite simply couldn’t afford to run the rescue centre.
Eden Animal Rescue is working to raise £500,000 to fund the on-going build of a new kennel block. The aim is to have better facilities for the welfare of the dogs that stay with us.
A coast to coast walk for Judy Feest who sadly passed away in February this year. Eden animal rescue was a charity she always supported and got her lovely dog Ben from there.

Voting could not be easier, just click on the link and complete a few simple questions to why you would like to nominate us.
Your Support Helps Us Help Them
We are proud to be a non-destroy rescue and save animals with medical or behavioural issues that others turn away. Your support helps us to help them.
If you join us you’ll be helping to save and rehome hundreds of animals each year.
A Will is one of the most important documents you can draw up. It ensures that your wishes are carried out after your death and that your family, friends, and charitable causes close to your heart, are provided for in the way you would like. If you die without making a Will the State decides what happens to your estate, and it may not go where you would like it to.

Our shops are vital to our fundraising. We can recycle your unwanted things in our charity shops. We have one in Penrith & one in Kirby Stephen.
We will accept with thanks all items that can be reused and are in good condition including used fabric items including; clothes, cloths, shoes, bags & bedding (not duvets & pillows)
As a busy rescue centre, we rely on support from businessess within our community. If your business can help, please get in touch with us.
We especially need supplies of soap powder, washing up liquid, bin liners, dustpan & brushes, brooms & mops.
Other than cash you can support us by donating items for the animals. You can do this by having a look at our Amazon wishlist. We also have collection points in Penrith, for instance our wheelie bin at Morrisons and receptacles at Pets at Home, WCF, Booths, Penrith CoOp & the Devonshire Arcade pet shop.
We really appreciate donations of dogs & cat food, which helps us to keep the animals well fed & healthy. It would be beneficial for the animals to have a consistent diet, so ideally, we’d like Harrington’s Lamb & Rice flavour dog food & Whiskas cat food please. If unsure get in touch before you donate.
Ever Thought Of Fundraising
Interested in fundraising for Eden Animal Rescue, but not sure what activity you would like to do? Check out our guide to fundraising.
Not in a position to adopt an animal?
You can help by sponsoring an animal from as little as £15 year.
We never turn away an animal because of age or health problems and sponsorship helps to cover the cost of medication and food for those animals who are difficult to rehome.
Fostering Homes for Dogs & Cats
We are in need of foster homes for both cats and dogs
A fosterer gives the dog or cat the opportunity to receive the love, care and attention before finding a permanent home.
It is a great way to make friends and become part of the team at Eden Animal Rescue
Whether you are a good poop scooper, great cake baker, DIY enthusiast, dedicated dog walker or just love stroking cats you can help us! Please do contact us if you would like to help or get involved in any way.
We need help in all areas of our work:
There are several benefits to leaving a legacy to Eden Animal Rescue. A legacy will make sure that the charity will continue its invaluable work for years to come.
By including a gift to Eden Animal Rescue in your Will, you will make a lasting impact on the lives of homeless animals in the Eden Valley and beyond. You can choose to leave a specific sum of money, your estate, a percentage of your estate or a particular item or asset.
It can also reduce the amount of inheritance tax paid by your estate. For many of us, the most generous act of giving is by way of a bequest to a favoured Charity. This is your means of saying, “You’re doing amazing work” when you are no longer able to say it for yourself.
Our charity shop in Penrith is in desperate need of volunteers. No experience is required—just a willingness to help and a friendly attitude!
Available Shifts:

We are happy to accept all donations, but can we please ask that any items are clean and in working order.

There are several benefits to leaving a legacy to Eden Animal Rescue. A legacy will make sure that the charity will continue its invaluable work for years to come.
By including a gift to Eden Animal Rescue in your Will, you will make a lasting impact on the lives of homeless animals in the Eden Valley and beyond. You can choose to leave a specific sum of money, your estate, a percentage of your estate or a particular item or asset.
It can also reduce the amount of inheritance tax paid by your estate. For many of us, the most generous act of giving is by way of a bequest to a favoured Charity. This is your means of saying, “You’re doing amazing work” when you are no longer able to say it for yourself.
We are always immensely proud and grateful when our Charity is recognised in someone’s Will. We recognise that there are thousands of deserving charities – however we believe that there can be no finer departing gesture than to ease the suffering of those animals in need.
Making a Will is an essential part of financial planning. It ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after you pass away. When making a Will or leaving a legacy to Eden Animal Rescue, it is important to seek the advice of a professional legal advisor. They can guide you through the process and ensure that your wishes are conducted correctly.
If you already have a Will, it’s easy to amend it. Minor changes, such as, adding a gift to Eden Animal Rescue charity, do not require a new Will. However, should you wish to make other changes at the same time, it may be better to have the Will re-written to include all your changes into a new document.
The existing Will can be amended by preparing a document called a Codicil, which your professional legal advisor will help you to draw up. Most legal advisors are happy to make a house call if requested to. Please mention our Charity name, charity number and address as set out in “Making a Will”.
Do you have the welfare of your pets to consider when making a Will?
Without specific instruction, much loved and cherished animals can, themselves, become victims.
You need to be clear and concise about their future, should they outlive you.
Their future can be guaranteed by nominating Eden Animal Rescue as their legal guardians, whereupon their future happiness and security will be taken care of.
This is important when pets must be found loving homes together in an environment to which they are accustomed.
Home-made wills can carry the risk of unforeseen legal loopholes and maybe invalid. As beneficiaries of your Will, your professional legal advisor will require the following information about us:
Charity Name: Eden Animal Rescue
Charity Address: Moorlands Head Farm, Newbiggin, Temple Sowerby, Penrith. CA10 1TH
Charity Registration Number: 1117113
Your generosity could change the future for many unwanted and abandoned pets. There are many ways that you can help us – by leaving a legacy, sponsorship, donating or giving us your time. Gifting a legacy donation is simple and we can support you along the way. If you have any questions, please do contact us at:
Eden Animal Rescue needs to raise £500,000 towards the cost of our new kennels building. You can see what we have raised so far on our ‘Total Raised’ progress bar. We need your support to reach our target.
