We do NOT have this virus at Raystede. We are still open and welcome visitors to the rest of the site.
Adopting through a rehoming centre can take a little extra time and patience, but the rewards are worth it.
Due to the increasing number of cases of avian influenza nationally, we are not currently taking in or rehoming any birds and fowl currently until restrictions lift. Please contact the Small Animals team for further information.
Adopting an animal is a big decision, have you thought about what is involved? Take a look at our care guides to learn how to prepare for, and look after your new animal, read our adoption process and submit your application online.

Mags arrived at Raystede in poor condition, suffering with chronic laminitis (inflammation and damage to the tissue of his hooves) severely impacting his ability to move. Mags spent around four weeks not being able to leave the stable, with Styrofoam pads taped to all four feet to increase comfort.
Five months later, thanks to your kind donations and the expert care our Equine Team, Mags is the picture of health, he is worm and lice free, and most importantly he isn’t in pain.
We couldn't help animals like Mags without your incredible support.
