| Welcome to the Animals' Refuge
The Animals' Refuge provides a home to horses, donkeys, sheep, cattle and goats, and provides a temporary haven for dogs, cats and other small pets awaiting new homes through the League’s Adoption Programme.
In 2010, over 700 animals found new families through this scheme, while a further 281 lost dogs and cats were reunited with their owners. Oak Tree Farm also incorporates Blackburn Wood, which is managed to provide a haven for wild animals and birds. This work is only possible through the support of our members.
The National Equine Defence League was founded in 1909 by Francis Cox, to campaign for the welfare of pit ponies and other working horses. 100 years later, the League works to protect all kinds of animals through its Animals' Refuge near Carlisle.

Bedding Appeal!
We are in desperate need of duvets to use as bedding for the dogs in our care here at the Refuge (as long as it's not feather filled!).
We have many animals staying with us at the moment and have gone through a lot more than usual.
However anything from towels, blankets, pillows, sheets, cushions etc. can be used to keep the dogs and cats warm and comfortable and is also much appreciated.
If possible please bring your bedding donation to the Animals’ Refuge, Oak Tree Farm, Wetheral Shields, Carlisle, CA4 8JA, Tel 01228 560 082.
Thank you for your support. |
