Thanks to our animal-loving sponsors
We've been supporting pets and their people through every storm since 2002.
Our Founder, Jacquie, made a promise to help as many pets in need as she could after seeing the conditions homeless dogs had to endure in council stray kennels, and knowing they could be put to sleep after receiving their statutory days of care. And so, in 2002 she established the volunteer group Rotherham Animals In Need.
Starting with just three cattery rooms and by using boarding kennels, the charity steadily expanded to meet the greatest areas of need.
Our Story So Far
It All Began!
Our founder, Jacquie, started Rain Rescue in Rotherham to help dogs and cats who had nowhere else to turn. She promised to do all she could to help as many pets as possible.
Growing Bigger!
We became “Rescuing Animals In Need” and officially became a charity! This meant we could help even more animals and support their people when they needed it.
Making a Difference!
Aligned to the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH). Helping to make a better life for pets all across the country.
20 years of kidenss!
We celebrated 20 years of rescuing and rehoming cats and dogs. Thanks to our amazing supporters, we’re still going strong!
Growing to help more animals.
We welcomed a new CEO, Trish, working on the next strategy of the charity. We acquired a new centre in Doncaster, establishing a community hub and officially becoming RAIN.

We’re excited for what’s next! With your help, we’ll keep rescuing more animals and making sure every pet is safe, loved, and happy.
