Ashbourne Animal Welfare, registered charity number 1014249, is dedicated to the rescue and re-homing of stray and unwanted cats and dogs. We operate from our own purpose-built rescue centre - The Ark - near Ashbourne, in Derbyshire. All our residents have comfortable accommodation, receive the best of care and stay with us as long as is necessary to find a loving new home. We are an independent charity and receive no government or lottery help with the ever-increasing cost of our work, so we rely entirely for our income on our own efforts and on the generosity of the public.

 

We have monthly Open Days, when you are welcome to come and see what we do and visit our cats and dogs. At other times, visits to The Ark are by prior appointment.

 

Whether you are looking to adopt one of our residents, or see how you might be able to help us, or simply want to know more about us, welcome to our website and thank you for visiting.
