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.

SARAH HARRISON-WYATT, VICKIE BROUGHTON, AND ALEX BOWNESS ARE STRIDING OUT AGAIN TO HELP EDEN ANIMAL RESCUE AND THIS TIME FOR THE NEW KENNELS
Over the past few years, the three have undertaken a number of sponsored walks for Eden Animal Rescue; the last was in August 2023 when they undertook the 21 mile Ullswater Way to raise funds for the complex orthopaedic surgery needed by Tilly, one of our long term residents.
Their next walk is the 11mile walk around Derwentwater on SATURDAY MAY 25TH and they hope to raise a significant amount in sponsorship to help with the building costs for the new kennel block. The new kennels will significantly improve the accommodation and facilities for the dogs while they wait for their Forever Home.
The three plan to set off by 7am and should complete the walk by lunchtime. They will finish at Crow Park opposite Theatre By The Lake in Keswick. This walk was chosen as Keswick, known as England’s most dog friendly town will undoubtedly have a large number of visitors over the Bank Holiday weekend and so hopefully lots of support in the form of donations!
BUT YOUR HELP IS ALSO NEEDED!!
To add your support please visit the Just Giving page:

Ways to Donate to Eden animal rescue
DONATE CASH OR GOODIES/THINGS
Raising funds is a huge part of our work and without this money we quite simply couldn’t afford to run the rescue centre.
Eden Animal Rescue is working to raise £500,000 to fund the on-going build of a new kennel block. The aim is to have better facilities for the welfare of the dogs that stay with us.
A coast to coast walk for Judy Feest who sadly passed away in February this year. Eden animal rescue was a charity she always supported and got her lovely dog Ben from there.

Voting could not be easier, just click on the link and complete a few simple questions to why you would like to nominate us.
Your Support Helps Us Help Them
We are proud to be a non-destroy rescue and save animals with medical or behavioural issues that others turn away. Your support helps us to help them.
If you join us you’ll be helping to save and rehome hundreds of animals each year.
A Will is one of the most important documents you can draw up. It ensures that your wishes are carried out after your death and that your family, friends, and charitable causes close to your heart, are provided for in the way you would like. If you die without making a Will the State decides what happens to your estate, and it may not go where you would like it to.

Our shops are vital to our fundraising. We can recycle your unwanted things in our charity shops. We have one in Penrith & one in Kirby Stephen.
We will accept with thanks all items that can be reused and are in good condition including used fabric items including; clothes, cloths, shoes, bags & bedding (not duvets & pillows)
As a busy rescue centre, we rely on support from businessess within our community. If your business can help, please get in touch with us.
We especially need supplies of soap powder, washing up liquid, bin liners, dustpan & brushes, brooms & mops.
Other than cash you can support us by donating items for the animals. You can do this by having a look at our Amazon wishlist. We also have collection points in Penrith, for instance our wheelie bin at Morrisons and receptacles at Pets at Home, WCF, Booths, Penrith CoOp & the Devonshire Arcade pet shop.
We really appreciate donations of dogs & cat food, which helps us to keep the animals well fed & healthy. It would be beneficial for the animals to have a consistent diet, so ideally, we’d like Harrington’s Lamb & Rice flavour dog food & Whiskas cat food please. If unsure get in touch before you donate.
Ever Thought Of Fundraising
Interested in fundraising for Eden Animal Rescue, but not sure what activity you would like to do? Check out our guide to fundraising.
Not in a position to adopt an animal?
You can help by sponsoring an animal from as little as £15 year.
We never turn away an animal because of age or health problems and sponsorship helps to cover the cost of medication and food for those animals who are difficult to rehome.
Fostering Homes for Dogs & Cats
We are in need of foster homes for both cats and dogs
A fosterer gives the dog or cat the opportunity to receive the love, care and attention before finding a permanent home.
It is a great way to make friends and become part of the team at Eden Animal Rescue
Whether you are a good poop scooper, great cake baker, DIY enthusiast, dedicated dog walker or just love stroking cats you can help us! Please do contact us if you would like to help or get involved in any way.
We need help in all areas of our work:
We are very grateful for the support we receive from the following organisations

By leaving us a gift in your Will you can create a lasting legacy and help us to continue caring for animals in to the future. We receive no government funding so need to raise funds to pay for the food, shelter and veterinary treatment for all the animals in our care. Every gift, no matter how large or small, makes a huge difference and is very gratefully received.
We’d recommend contacting a solicitor to help you draw up a Will, or to add a codicil to an existing Will if you already have one. You don’t need to tell us of your intention to leave a gift, but if you’d like to then it will be kept confidential and we’ll be able to say a heartfelt thank you for your support.
There are three types of legacy:
Legacies are deducted from your estate before inheritance tax is calculated. Leaving a legacy may also reduce your Inheritance Tax rate, if more than 10% of your estate is left to charity.
If you’d like to get in touch to discuss leaving us a gift please contact us on admin@edenanimalrescue.org.uk or telephone 01931 716 114. We’d be very happy to show you our rescue center so you can see for yourself how legacies help our work. Although we recommend using a solicitor for your Will we can assist with suggested wording and provide the charity details you will need to leave us a gift.
It is also possible for you to create an ‘In Memory’ fundraising page at www.justgiving.com/edenanimalrescue/remember. If you need help setting up your fundraising page or require further information please just contact us.
