Bristol Animal Rescue Centre

About Bristol Animal Rescue Centre

We are the oldest and the largest local animal charity in Bristol. We’ve been caring for the city’s pets and wildlife since 1887, helping, healing and homing over 10,000 vulnerable animals each year. At our Rehoming Centre, we find new and loving homes for around 500 animals each year. We also provide a 24-hour service for injured or sick wildlife and veterinary care to animals who have been victims of cruelty or neglect. Our annual running costs exceed £2 million and although we’re proud to be affiliated with the RSPCA, we receive no automatic funding from them. We rely entirely on local support from the Bristol community and surrounding areas to help fund our work. These donations from the public and support from local businesses and groups enable our dedicated professional team to provide essential local care, love and support, 365 days a year to local Bristol animals in need.
