Book your visit

Our Kennels are not open to the public.

Many of the dogs at Raystede are behind the scenes where they receive specialist care so you may not always see rescue dogs in the runs or around the site. Some of our dogs are nervous, shy or have special behavioural needs so they might need some downtime in the kennels, which is crucial for their rehabilitation and to make it as comfortable as possible for them.

We help animals find loving new homes - if you have any questions about the work we do to help pets please do ask your tour guide.

Your support helps animals like Mags

Mags arrived at Raystede in a state of neglect, 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.
