From humble beginnings in 1972 Animal Rescue Cumbria has grown and these days is a well-established rescue which takes in and rehomes over 300 dogs, cats and kittens every year.
The animals we take in are unwanted or lost and homeless. We provide a secure and caring environment and help all our animals adapt and find permanent, loving new homes. We also provide support and guidance for pet owners and do educational work to increase awareness of the responsibility we all have towards animals and their welfare.
Our Purpose
Animal Rescue Cumbria’s trustees, staff, volunteers and supporters do this by:
Providing the best possible care for animals in our shelter;
Offering enrichment opportunities to help animals adapt to different environments;
Providing lifelong support for owners and their new pets;
Promoting good animal welfare and responsible pet ownership by providing support, guidance and education to members of the public in Cumbria and beyond;
Valuing each other (trustees, staff, volunteers, supporters and partners); and
Being entrepreneurial and pursuing diverse income streams in order to survive and prosper.
