Dogs welcome!

Bring your canine companion along to enjoy the day with you. There's plenty for them to sniff, see, and do!

Please ensure your dog is on a short lead and be mindful that there will be lots of other dogs – and people – attending the All About Dogs Day. Raystede is dog-friendly with dog walks around the site, plus plenty of shade, water bowls and poo bins. Areas where dogs are not permitted are clearly marked.

Meet Albert, who is one of our most heartwarming transformations.

When Albert arrived at Raystede, he was nervous, underweight and suffering with painful patches of dry skin and sore joints.

At Raystede, we don’t just rehome animals, we rehabilitate them first, giving the best chance at a happy and healthy life. From healthcare to behavioural therapy, every step of their journey is carefully guided so they can trust again.

You can make a difference. A gift today will help make sure we can continue to care for all our animals, giving them the love and care they deserve.
