Eden Animal Rescue

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.

Leave a legacy for the future!

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.

Gift In your will

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 supporters

We are very grateful for the support we receive from the following organisations

Leave a legacy for the future!

Leave a legacy for the future!

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.
