How Elcee’s Rescue Began
Elcee’s Rescue began in October 2024 when 2 friends, with over 40 years experience with rescue dogs, and over 10 years experience of working in Rescue, took a leap of faith and decided to set up a Dog Rescue of their own. The name came from both of their initials L&C – and LC’s rescue became Elcee’s Rescue!

Foster Assistants
We also have two Foster Assistants, who monitor dogs whilst in foster care to establish their behaviour and temperament in order for us to identify the most suitable home for each dog.
We believe every dog deserves a chance
We believe every dog deserves a chance, and we do our very best to ensure each and every dog finds a home that is most suited to their temperament and needs. This is to ensure they can live free from fear, be kept warm, fed and well nourished, and receive the best possible care, to enable them to live a full and active life.
All our dogs go into foster homes initially, where they are fully assessed, so we know as much as possible about each dog so we can match them to the best possible homes.
We also offer Lifetime Rescue Backup for all our adopted dogs, so that if the owners are no longer able to take care of the dog, for whatever reason, they come back into Rescue and Elcee’s will find them another suitable home.
To enable our Rescue to be successful we rely on the help of our supporters, who kindly donate money each month to help pay our bills, or organise small individual fund raising events themselves to help raise funds.
We have a Facebook group and a Facebook page which helps raise funds too and promotes our dogs looking for homes.
Non-profit organisation
We are a non-profit organisation and 100% of every donation and funds raised coming into the rescue are used to help more dogs.
We all work as Volunteers donating ALL our time and effort for free to ensure we can help as many dogs as possible.
