We are an Animal Sanctuary and Rehabilitation Centre near Broadwindsor, Dorset & provide Forever homes to domestic, small farm and Special Needs Dogs.

To offer love, food and warmth and in most cases a last chance to troubled, aged and homeless animals.

I started the Birkett - Smith Animal Sanctuary a couple of years ago on my smallholding in Dorset and formalised as a registered Charity not long after.
We provide forever homes for domestic, farm and wildlife animals. Most have behavioural issues, are aggressive s, old, disabled, human scared ...so we basically take the animals that stand little or no chance or gaining homes let alone the security of a forever home.
So our 150 animals include dogs, cats, pigs, sheep, horses, all farm birds, emus, a seagull...the list goes on. We are also one of the very few UK sanctuaries that will take aggressive and fear aggressive dogs as we have a no kill policy full stop. We rehabilitate these animals as much as we can over time to enable them to achieve a happy life here at the sanctuary or if possible, a forever home.
Due to the nature of the animals we have their care can be intensive, and timely and very costly.
All this takes time, money, volunteers and without our Birkett - Smith Family this would not be possible. So please join us with our auctions and projects as slowly one by one we will take in animals to safety .......one by one until there are none. xxx
