| Welcome to the Animals' Refuge
Founded as The National Equine Defence League in 1909 by Francis Cox, to campaign for the welfare of pit ponies and other working horses, the League now works to protect all kinds of animals through its Animals' Refuge near Carlisle.
100 years on, The Animals' Refuge provides a home to several horses and cattle, and provides a safe haven for stray, abandoned or unwanted dogs and cats who are awaiting new homes through our Adoption Programme.
In 2011, over 400 animals found new families through this scheme, while a further 284 lost dogs and cats were reunited with their owners.

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. |
FOSTER HOMES URGENTLY NEEDED!
We are urgently looking for caring foster homes for puppies and dogs who are coping badly with ‘kennel life’.
If you would like to foster a dog until it finds a permanent home please contact us on 01228 560 082 and ask for Patricia for more information. Thank you. |
