About Our Mission to Help Animals

Our animal sanctuary and wildlife rescue is home to abandoned, orphaned, injured and unwanted pets, dog, cats, horses, ponies, small animals and wildlife.  We encourage Pet adoptions to find a loving home for them but if they are unable to be adopted, they stay with us for life.

Our wildlife rescue programs in Derbyshire operate throughout the year and help rehabilitate injured wildlife, birds and hedgehogs brought into the Animal Sanctuary. Through campaigning, schools, education and local communities, we promote animal welfare, knowledge and care for the next generation of pet lovers.

We provide an emergency pet care service with lifetime care for pets whose owners are terminally ill and we give priority to pets who are bereaved or whose owners have had to go into hospital or a care home. No healthy pet is ever put to sleep. Many of our rescued animals are unsuitable for
re-homing. Safe at Last, they stay with us for life.

We operate all year round across the UK. Our visitor opening times are Wednesday – Sunday, 10am – 3.30pm.
