Our Safe Haven Kennels is a UK-based rescue facility opened in 2021 in Nantwich, Cheshire, created to provide a calm and supportive environment for dogs in need. The kennels were established to help dogs who struggled in busy shelter settings, particularly those rescued from overseas, as well as to offer a secure backup space for UK dogs returning to the rescue. Designed with welfare in mind, the centre allows potential adopters to meet dogs by appointment and get to know them properly before adoption. Since opening, Our Safe Haven Kennels has seen rapid growth, rehoming more than 200 dogs in 2023 alone, and continues to expand its role as a vital stepping stone between rescue and a permanent, loving home.

More Information

Shropshire’s largely rural landscape and market towns make it an appealing county for rescue dog adoption. Dogs rehomed here are often suited to homes offering outdoor space, regular walks and a steady routine. Many rescues in the area focus on matching dogs to lifestyle rather than speed, particularly for dogs coming from difficult backgrounds. Adopting locally helps ensure dogs find secure, lasting homes.
