Important notes

This directory is not exhaustive

It does not include many other types of rescue organisations (e.g., wildlife rescues, rabbit rescues). Please also search your local area separately.

Locations & animal lists are approximate

Postcodes may represent a nearby area rather than the exact entrance. Animal residents also change over time — please check directly with sanctuaries before travelling.
