Farewell
After almost 20 years of caring for pets both boarded and rescue, Chris and Stella are hanging up our leads and closing the Business.
We are anticipating that completion will take place the week commencing the 16th of December 2024.
We will continue to operate up to the 16th of December but any bookings after this date, we can now no longer honour.
We would like to thank all the wonderful staff, volunteers and customers who have made these 20 years so rich in kindness, fun and love. We will miss you and your wonderful pets and hope to see many of you again as we are remaining local.
It is now time to pass the property on to a team of people who will be able continue the rescue work on the site as Animal Rescue Cumbria.
“We are delighted to be able to carry on the tradition of caring for cats and dogs at Milnthorpe, albeit that our main focus will be on rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing, in line with the Charity's mission.
The Wainwright Shelter will continue to operate from Kapellan, Grayrigg, whilst we carry out renovation work and re-purposing of accommodation to create vet rooms, re-homing rooms, offices and an education centre, as well as building a new and larger cattery.
We feel very fortunate to have found a new home so close to Kendal and in the heart of our South Lakeland community who have been so supportive of our work through volunteering and fundraising. We are looking forward to sharing our plans for the Charity's future at Higher Rowell.”
With our best wishes for you, your family and your pets.

Can you give a rescue dog a home?
“With a BBC documentary team revealing that one in three dogs bought in the UK are from puppy farms, it is more important than ever for more people to take on rescue to stop the trade in puppies".
Reputable rescue organisations will ensure that dogs are neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before going home and will ensure that we help you to understand the huge commitment that you are about to take on. Here are some of the rescue dogs we have on site. |
In the best interest of the dog and your family we try to ensure that you have taken your time to consider fully the impact that your new dog will have on your life and to ensure that you are able to provide for it’s needs including health, training and financial support.
Research, talk with each other and try to view it practically and not just emotionally, then you can step forward into dog ownership with commitment and energy knowing that together you can make the relationship work. Find out more Rescue Pets Advice |
