About Us

Thank you for taking an interest in Pennine Pen Animal Rescue, please let us tell you a little about ourselves.

We are an animal charity established 2001, we take in and re-home unwanted and abandoned animals. We neuter, vaccinate and microchip all the animals in our care and vet all prospective homes to ensure suitability for animal and owner. We help as many animals as we possibly can, we do not have any age restrictions and never put any healthy animal to sleep. We neuter feral colonies and we also help people on low incomes to neuter their animals.

Pennine Pen Animal Rescue was started in October 2001 by Michael Waugh and a group of friends who wanted to help unwanted and neglected animals in Oldham and the surrounding areas.

In August 2002 we took our charity shop on, which from that day has been our main life line. Not only for bringing in much needed funds but had also been our base from which we have housed thousands of animals in our care.

In September 2003 we were officially recognised as a registered charity, from then on we have gone from strength to strength.

In April 2009 after years of searching we finally found new bigger, premises more suitable to our needs,  from which to operate. Our new building, although it still needs a lot of work doing to it, has enabled us to house many more animals in need of re-homing.
