Animals Rehomed

In 2025, Eden Animal Rescue rehomed over 335 animals!

We gave over 335 animals a second chance and helped many more along the way.

We really do make a difference!

Go Fund Me

Eden Animal Rescue is currently facing one of the most challenging times in our journey to help vulnerable animals.

Every single month, we are paying between £5,000 and £10,000 in veterinary bills to provide urgent medical care, life-saving treatments, and essential health checks for the animals who come through our doors. Many arrive sick, injured, abandoned, or in desperate need of support, and we never turn them away when they need us most.

Now, with kitten season just around the corner, the pressure is growing even more.

Each animal requires:

  • Vaccinations
  • Microchipping
  • Worm and flea treatment
  • Neutering
  • Ongoing medical care and food

 

These vital treatments give them the chance of a healthy, safe future and a loving forever home — but the costs for the charity is overwhelming.

We are asking for your help so we can continue rescuing, treating, and protecting animals who have nowhere else to go.

Every donation, no matter how small, truly makes a difference.

  • Your kindness will help us:
  • Pay urgent veterinary bills
  • Provide essential medical treatments
  • Prepare kittens and cats for adoption
  • Continue rescuing animals in need

 

Without support, we may be forced to make heartbreaking decisions.

With your help, we can keep saying yes to the animals who need us most.

Thank you for standing with Eden Animal Rescue and for giving these animals a second chance at life.

🐾 Help Us Get Specialist Care for Dodge🐾

Unfortunately, despite starting the Royal Canin Sensitivity Control, Dodge has had no significant improvement in his diarrhoea. The next step recommended by the vets is to try AnimalBiome Gut Restore along with another course of steroids. He will then be re-examined in 4 weeks to assess progress.

This has been a lengthy process, but thankfully, Dodge is still in high spirits and acting like the playful pup we all love 🐾💛.

Looking ahead, if these treatments don’t fully resolve his gut issues, the next step could be a faecal transplant. There is hope, however, as we’ve heard that faecal transplant capsules may soon be available, which could mean Dodge wouldn’t require a full anaesthetic for the procedure — a much safer option for him.

Every donation goes directly towards Dodge’s ongoing care, medications, and specialist treatments. Your support continues to make a real difference in his life, and we can’t thank you enough for standing by him 💙

Volunteers

Do you live in Penrith, Appleby, or Kirkby Stephen?
Do you enjoy walking and have a spare hour now and then

If so, you could make a real difference for the animals at our centre! We’re looking for volunteers to help put up posters in lots of different location, for our events and for the lovely animals currently looking for new homes.

Get Involved – Fundraising Season Is Here!

As the fundraising season begins, we’re calling on our amazing community to get involved and help us make this year a success. Our events and activities are a vital part of raising the funds we need, but they simply can’t happen without the support of volunteers. There are plenty of ways you can help, whether you have a little time or a lot. We’re looking for people who can assist with transporting and putting up gazebos, helping to run stalls, supporting us at events, or even organising and running your own fundraising activities on our behalf.

Every bit of help makes a real difference. By volunteering your time or helping us raise funds, you’re directly supporting the work we do and helping us reach more people in our community. If you’d like to get involved this season, we’d love to hear from you. Together we can make our events bigger, better, and more successful than ever. Thank you for your continued support.

If you can spare a morning or an afternoon and would like to make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.

Thank you for your kindness and support – we couldn’t do it without you!

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!
