United Kingdom Animal Sanctuaries, Rescues, and Shelters
While we vegans all wish there wasn’t a need for animal sanctuaries, we are truly grateful for the compassionate work being done by so many people around the world to help animals in need. The animal sanctuaries, rescue centers, and shelters shown on this page are sorted based on reviews from your fellow vegans worldwide, and many are well worth your support. If you’re able to, consider visiting one or more of these animal care facilities, whether they are near home for you or if you happen upon one while you are traveling abroad.
Our goal is to provide a platform that truly respects and mirrors our collective vegan opinions and perspectives. As our global vegan community adds additional animal sanctuaries and care facilities, and as we review and rate our favorites, the resulting listings will continuously, and more accurately, reflect our favorite animal sanctuaries.

A forever home for previously unwanted animals. To help Fiona please check out the links on the wall – donations can be made to fiona@towerhillstables.com
Fiona Oakes cares for around 400 rescued animals including 30 dogs & 52 horses. This is not what Fiona does for a living, she takes no income nor expenses from any donations. Fiona is a retained fire-fighter & elite marathon runner (ex Olympic athelete) and her partner works for a bank. Each month Fiona has to find over £8000 to feed all the rescues – please help her.
Mission: To provide a home for life, care and medical attention when necessary to the 400 animals at the Sanctuary and when the time comes dignity in death. Also to promote a cruelty free lifestyle achieved through appearences in documentaries & Fiona’s marathon results which demonstrate that as a Vegan, Fiona is an incredibly strong athlete with trememdous endurance.
Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary was established in 1988 and currently homes over 490 rescued farm animals.
Our Mission
Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary’s mission is to provide a safe and peaceful environment, where rescued animals can remain for the rest of their lives. Veterinary care and medication is provided as required and all animals in our charge are constantly monitored to ensure their good health and well being. We never implement euthanasia unless it is advised by our vet as a total necessity.
Our Target
Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary is managed by founder Carole Webb as a non-profit organisation and will always remain as such. All time is volunteered, no wages to pay, no offices to maintain – every penny goes to our animals to feed, shelter and provideFarm Animal Rescue Sanctuary – Tractor medical care.
Our running costs however, are very high and we have to rely upon a sympathetic public to help fund the sanctuary. Our membership may be small but their loyalty is unmatched. For several years, we have achieved part funding through our animal adoption scheme which has become a popular gift item among our supporters, their friends and our website visitors, but we still suffer a huge shortfall.
Ultimately, our most important TARGET must be to secure a monthly income to enable us to continue our good work and safeguard the haven we have provided for these animals.
If you would like to help our sanctuary, please give a donation. Any size gift is most welcome and gratefully received. Thank you.

Hillside Animal Sanctuary at Hill Top Farm Frettenham Norwich NR12 7LT, was founded in 1995 to help and campaign for animals in need and to bring public awareness to the millions of animals suffering in the intensive factory farming industry.
Hillside is home to 300 Rescued Cows, 1200 Rescued Horses, Ponies and Donkeys, 600 Sheep and Goats, 200 Pigs and lots of other rescued animals and birds.
This sanctuary is vegan-run.
Farm animals are global. They are not endangered, exotic or wild. They are animals who are born and raised for their meat and milk, and throughout the world very often do this with a minimum of care.
Care costs time and money, and they’re not considered to be worth either. They are just another product, although unlike other food products such as grains, fruits and vegetables, they bleed when they are injured. They die from fear and stress. They suffer distress when their young are taken away from them. They can be kept until they are too old to stand as long as they can still produce milk or offspring. They can then be travelled hundreds of miles, enduring awful conditions, to be slaughtered without pre-stunning.
There are very few places throughout the world where farm animals can find sanctuary to be able to live out their lives in peace, to be treated with kindness and respect. We watch these animals become comfortable and confident. We see their characters develop. We admire their intelligence and the way they embrace their peaceful surroundings. We watch them begin to play and finally become content.
They form close companionships and soon recognise the people who care for them and look after them. They ask for very little. For us it’s a pleasure and a privilege to be part of their daily lives.
This is why we are here.
SABRC is a not for profit rescue centre which endeavours to help keep owners and their animals together.
The helplessness felt by many people when they find resolving their pets behaviour problem a challenge, is awful for all parties involved and often leads to animals being rehomed. We aim to empower owners through education and support to build a bridge of understanding with their pet, using science, compassion and a high standard of ethics.
SABRC offers behaviour consultations and training predominantly for horses and dogs, however we can help with other animals. We are lucky to be part of a network of multi-species behaviourists/trainers throughout GB – so if we can’t help you and your pet, we probably know someone who can! Please contact us to see how we can help.
We also offer talks and seminars on behaviour, inviting guest speakers to talk about their areas of expertise for example saddlery, farriery, nutrition etc. Keep an eye on our events page to see what’s coming up in your area.
We work full time and any profit made from consultations or events goes straight back into our rescue centre and helping other animals.
Having studied behaviour and welfare at the Natural Animal Centre and a combined experience of over 15 years within behaviour and rescue circles, Anita and Lauren will endeavour to put the relationship you have with your pet at the forefront of any assistance we may offer. SABRC is based in Angus, Scotland – but please feel free to contact us wherever you are – we will do our best to help or find someone who can.
We acknowledge that some owners, through no fault of their own, will have to rehome home their animals. SABRC incorporates a small home run, not for profit rescue centre for animals who have come to us and will not be suitable for rehoming due to the many previous changes in their lives.
SABRC is always looking for suitable foster homes who would be able to help us rehabilitate animals who cannot stay with their owners but would be suitable for rehoming. We offer full species specific training for foster carers. If you are interested please contact us.
