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.

Help keep our animals warm and safe this winter

As the cold weather sets in, our animals need your help more than ever. Winter is a challenging time for our animals who have often been mistreated, neglected or abandoned.

But, with your help they will spend Christmas in the care of our amazing animal welfare team.
