Who we are
We are a family-run animal rescue charity based in Horsham, West Sussex.
Founded nearly 30 years ago, Holbrook Animal Rescue was set up to help abandoned and unwanted animals to find a safe place to call home. Unlike many other rescues, our dogs aren't kept in kennels. They sleep in the house and are free to run in the play area of our field.
Viewing is by appointment only.
Wonderful News for Holbrook Animal Rescue!
We are absolutely delighted to share that the Planning Inspector has allowed our appeal and granted planning permission for our new rescue centre at Jackrells Lane.
This is a hugely significant milestone for Holbrook Animal Rescue and brings us one step closer to securing a new home where we can continue rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming animals for many years to come.
The Inspector recognised the urgent need for Holbrook to relocate and the important role we play in our community. While the decision includes a number of planning conditions that we must now work through before construction can begin, we are pleased to move forward with confidence and are committed to meeting those requirements carefully and responsibly.
This has been a long journey, and we simply could not have reached this point without the incredible support of our volunteers, trustees, staff, fosterers, adopters, donors, and everyone who took the time to write letters of support or stand beside us throughout the appeal process.
Thank you for believing in Holbrook and in the work we do for vulnerable animals. Your kindness, encouragement and generosity have made a real difference.
There is still plenty of work ahead as we discharge the planning conditions, finalise our plans and continue fundraising for the new centre, but today we are taking a moment to celebrate this fantastic news.
We look forward to sharing the next chapter of our journey with you.
