Luna Animal Rescue was founded in October 2013. The main aim was to help rehome dogs who found themselves abandoned and without families, in local and national pounds. Since then we have successfully rehomed well over 300 dogs, who are happily living with their new families. Luna has evolved into a bigger family, and we have a number of foster families, mainly in the south east of England (Herts, Beds and Cambs) , but also all over the UK. Our fosterers are essential for our work and they look after our dogs, cats and small animals in a home environment whilst they wait for their families. 

We are now a registered charity ( charity number 1163839) , with a non-destruct policy ( we will not put down a healthy well balanced animal), and all animals that are rehomed through us have a lifetime of rescue backup. If an animal has or develops behavioural issues or the adoptive family has a change of circumstances we offer help and guidance and support wherever possible. We are proud to work alongside local training establishments to provide support and ongoing involvement with our dogs once they have moved on to their families.

We are a foster based rescue, and our foster families provide us with vital information during assessment of our animals, and provide lots of ongoing training, love and input whilst animals are with them. We very rarely use kennels, only ever as a short term back up, whilst making onward training programmes and formulating foster plans for our dogs.

Garden House Hospice Care provides free specialist palliative care for patients, families and carers facing life limiting illnesses from across North Hertfordshire, Stevenage and towns and villages in Central Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire, serving a population of around 260,000 people.

Working with our medical team of highly experienced doctors and nurses, we have specialists in a wide range of roles including complementary physiotherapy, bereavement, occupational therapy, complementary therapy and spiritual care.

It costs us £7.7m a year to provide our services, and although we receive some funding from the NHS, we need to raise £15,300 every day in charitable income and greatly rely on the support of the community - local businesses, groups and individuals to help fund our work. We also rely on the support of our fantastic volunteers to help us deliver our services.
