Rushton dog rescue was founded nearly 15 years ago by Cindi Mcneil after her Partner Timothy Rushton passed away. Rushton dog rescue is a U.K. registered charity- 1139999. The charity is now run by Mother & Daughter Duo Cindi & Zoe. Who live, breath & have dedicated their whole lives to saving those who need them most. Rushton is now lucky enough to have their very own beautiful sanctuary which is
named Freedom Farm, in the heart of Somerset, with 40 + kennels, vet room, stables, fields, woodlands & many various buildings, all set in a stunning 15 acres. The animals spend the majority of the day running free & socialising together, they are not kennelled for long periods & the charity’s ethos includes dogs being able to express themselves freely without any pressures or restrictions. Freedom Farm is also home to four rescue Shetland ponies, a horse, 3 ducks & a cat. Many dogs on site are permanent sanctuary dogs for various reasons, mostly through fear of humans, medical issues & many Chinese meat trade survivors who have been so terrorised by their abusers they require a pressure free life which is what Rushton give them. Rushton rescue dogs from various places, primarily the Chinese meat trade which the charity have successfully saved hundreds & hundreds from over a 5 year period. Rushton have also saved dogs from a multitude of countries & always prioritise their local U.K. they wouldn’t have it any other way!
