homes for neglected or unwanted animals.
It is the firm policy of Animal Concern Cumbria not to destroy an animal for want
of a home , except on the advice of a Veterinary Surgeon.
The Charity is self-funding and is run entirely by Volunteers.
This website deals solely with the West Cumbria branch of Animal Concern , which rescues and rehomes dogs , cats and many small animals such as rabbits , ferrets and rats. The branch is based in and around the Workington area where we maintain
a kenelling facility for dogs.
Animal Concern Cumbria West Branch have been invited to join Northern Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rescue for their Companion Dog Show which is to be held on Saturday 17th. May in the gardens of The Bower House Inn , Eskdale.
The event will start at 1pm and will include novelty classes such as best trick , best fancy dress , best rescue and best six legs , as well as pedigree classes.
Animal Concern will have a bric a brac stall , a tombola , roll a coin and a raffle . Please come and support both charities. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to work together towards the same goal . Bring your dog too for a great afternoon out . There will be a bar , trade stands , good food , beautiful gardens and a children's play area.
In support of the Charity we are holding a Sponsored Dog Walk of 3 distances - 3 miles , 5 miles and 8 miles all starting from the Moorclose Sports Centre Car Park in Workington at 11am on the 25th. May.
All are welcome , participants and visitors.
This is a Fun Day out with refreshments and a Free Raffle for all those who complete their chosen distance.
Prizes are given by PET CENTRAL who are thanked for their valued Support.
It is hoped most of the kennel dogs will be walked by volunteers.
