Welcome

Idlewild Animal Sanctuary is a registered charity that provides care to a variety of animals through the rescue, rehabilitation, release and rehoming service in addition to providing a safe haven for animals that need life long care. We also provide a therapeutic and educational resource and through our work with people, we promote health, wellbeing and mindfulness in regard to living a kind and cruelty free life.

About Us

The sanctuary is unique in that it was set up to re-home the more “unusual” animals that might not otherwise find a loving home. We specialise in caring for animals that are elderly or have additional needs due to illness or disabilities and require that extra care. Alongside our rehoming service, which takes in a range of different animals and finds them a loving forever home, we also provide a lifelong home at the sanctuary for those animals for whom rehoming is not an option.

Friends not food..... companions not commodities.
