Here at Raystede we have recently set up a new indoor area for our rescue rabbits as well as some new hutches, and we need your help! Rabbits are inquisitive characters, so our Small Animals Team provide them with plenty of toys, tunnels, hiding places and somewhere to dig. However, with the new addition of the ‘Bun-galow’ (which you can see in this video), we would be really grateful for some new enrichment as this encourages our rabbits to behave naturally.

Raystede really does provide a safe, loving home for animals in need but we are also accepting applications for those considering adopting an equine from our loan to rehome scheme. Pixie is an 8-year-old Piebald Cob. She has a very sensitive nature and is looking for a forever home with another equine that she can call her best friend. Pixie is a retired pony because she suffers from sacroiliac joint disease but she is not in any discomfort and lives very happily! Watch this video to find out mo

Good news for Koda! Koda is a German Shepherd x Husky who came to Raystede at the beginning of 2023. At just three years old, he had been found in poor condition shut in a crate. He was timid and anxious particularly around other dogs. While at Raystede, he followed a training plan that supported his overall learning and he proved a keen student, with a cheeky side to his character coming out, and he could be a real clown! A suitable adopter came forward in September 2024, they made several visi

Hoppy Holidays! Raystede’s rescue rabbits, guinea pigs and rodents are very inquisitive and in this video you will see them discovering some delicious hidden goodies. Although human supervision was needed, it was clear they enjoyed themselves. Don’t fur-get, after Christmas dinner often means Christmas pudding so whilst you tuck in, why not come back and see what Raystede’s rescue goats, ponies and donkeys have been up to? | Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare

Koda enjoyed an offsite adventure! He came to us 5 months ago after being kept in a confined space with little interaction with the outside world. We have been gradually building up his confidence and exposing him to new experiences, but it’s always on his own terms when he feels ready. Working with a dog like Koda takes time, patience, trust and a lot of love. We hope his next adventure will be with his forever family!

She worked tirelessly to alleviate animal suffering and to educate people how to care for their animals. Her work took her to Ireland and Venice, she opened Peaceways, the UK’s first pet crematorium, and helped many thousands of animals.
