Spirits Rest Dartford Horse and Animal Sanctuary
Spirits Rest Dartford Horse & Animal Sanctuary is a family run, non-profit organisation which relies on the generosity of our supporters and volunteers.
Much of our work is off site, helping horses and any animal in this and surrounding areas. We give sanctuary to those that need a final place to live out their days in peace.
We re-home and foster those animals we consider can be re-homed.
Chris, our founder, works full time to cover as much of the sanctuary’ running costs as possible.
