Our Mission

Integrity is choosing care and compassion over personal gain

Jarjeer is a home, a hospice and a reserve for God's creatures who have spent their lives working. Many arrive tired, injured or simply too old to carry on — here they find rest.

Every animal that arrives at Jarjeer is assessed, treated and given a permanent place in our paddocks — for as long as they need it, which is usually for the rest of their lives.
