Company

We look after cats, dogs, rabbits and other small domestic animals - at any one time we are caring for over 180 animals, so we're a very busy centre. 

Here at Ashley Heath most of the animals have been rescued from neglect and bad treatment by their previous owners. When they come to us they are often nervous of strangers. We spend weeks, sometimes months, looking after them and preparing them for a second chance in life.

The rural surroundings provide great dog walking opportunities for our kennel dogs and for the general public alike.

Our charity shop raises funds for the centre and we are always grateful if people have something they'd like to donate.
