About Us

Based on a 5 acre site boasting enviable views of Somerset's fine landscape, Happy Landings first opened in May 1995. A former boarding kennels, the shelter can house around 100 domestic animals and a further 200 farm animals. In recent years we have found new homes for more about 250 domestic animals and 800 hens per year.

We work alongside authorities such as councils, dog wardens, social services and the police as well as vets and other sanctuaries and the demand for animal welfare is constant and busy.

We have a team of highly dedicated and experienced staff who between them have many years experience of dealing with difficult, harrowing and challenging situations concerning animal neglect and cruelty.

We rescue a wide variety of domestic animals, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets as well as farm animals such as goats, pigs and poultry. Animals come to us for various reasons. Trust is often a long time coming and we never rush the recovery process. Whatever the reason it is in welfare, it is never the fault of the animal.

It may also be possible for us to offer help and advice to anyone struggling to cope with a pet, and in doing so, prevent it from becoming another rescue statistic allowing it to stay at home with its owner.
