About This Centre
Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary is a local independent charity that rescues and rehomes unwanted, abandoned and often mistreated cats and dogs. We receive no funding from the government or National Lottery and rely on the generosity and goodwill of our supporters to keep our kennel and cattery doors open. It costs approximately £650,000 every year to run – that’s over £1,780 each and every single day. We rescue and rehome around 1000 animals each year finding loving and responsible new homes for each and every one of them. No animal is put to sleep unless we are advised that it is in their best interest to do so by a veterinary surgeon, this decision is never taken lightly.

Real Experiences
"Animal welfare as it should be. As with all charities, they are funded by donations, sometimes even by young children who have saved up their pocket money to by a few tins of dog or cat food. No animal is turned away, no animal is ever put down unles it is a quality of life issue. If it was possible to give more stars, then they would have them to the max. What more is there to say !!!!!"

"Today, me and my partner picked up two adorable black kittens and have made them a home in the Forest of Dean. I have nothing but positive things to say about our adoption experience with Holly Hedge. Not only did the staff clearly care a great deal about the animals but they made sure that we were definitely the right people for the cats before handing them over. Not only that, but it is clear how well socialised they both are. They have absolutely immaculate, clean and shiny coats, they have bundles of energy, they are loving and playful and everything a kitten should be. It is clear that these animals have been very well cared for. Thank you Holly Hedge, Jasper and Sheeba are settling in perfectly."

"Fantastic adoption experience with Hollyhedge. As first time dog owners the staff were super helpful and gave us lots of advice and guidance. We had plenty of opportunities to visit our dog before we adopted her and the staff explained everything really clearly throughout the process. Would recommend to anyone looking to give an animal a new loving home."

"My partner and I just adopted our sweet boy through Holly Hedge. The staff were all so lovely and knowledgable, and really supportive the whole way through the process.They provided lots of info on what to expect with a new rescue, and the assurance that they are on hand for any behavioural support if required, which was really reassuring for first time dog owners.I could not recommend them enough, thank you to everyone at Holly Hedge "
