A beautiful animal sanctuary offering home to over 140 animals including horses, donkeys, goats, pigs, cats and dogs.

Founded in late 2011, the sanctuary was initially set up as a private, safe haven for animals. The day to day running costs started to balloon as more and more animals began to make the place their home.  It became clear that private funding just wouldn’t be enough to keep all the animals in a responsible way.  With a growing weekly feed cost, vet bills, fencing and unplanned expenses, it became vital to its survival that a robust plan was put into action.

Over the past seven and a half years Jacobs Ridge has blossomed into a fully functioning and respected animal sanctuary. Working with specialist vets (HVT Equine Veternarios, Amelia Mendez Veterinarios, Dado Veterinarios,  University Hospital Murcia, Ricardo Matinez, Argos Veternarios) , animal behaviorists (Caroline Griffith), trainers (Caroline Collinson-Jones) and activists (Cruelty Watch, RSPCA, Cat Protection League), the sanctuary is fully committed to provide a safe haven, responsibly managed, for mistreated and unwanted animals, that will grow with planned development over the coming years.

Our Mission
We believe that every being has a right to live and to live life without fear. Thus, it is our mission to create a safe environment to last as a forever home to animals who need it, one where they don’t have to work or provide for us. One where they can just be what they are and do as they please. It is important to us that Jacobs Ridge is not just a sanctuary for animals, but for humans also. In connecting with the animals, nature and at the same time following a vegan lifestyle, we aim to create a space where people can find inner harmony and reconnect with themselves. We wish to further improve the lives of our rescue animals and offer a permanent home to more in need by securing and expanding the site of Jacobs Ridge. At the same time, we will educate those who need it on the exploitation of animals so that more animals can live life without fear.

An amazing sanctuary in Spain where you help out with over 100 different animals. Such a special place with a unique chilled out vibe. You are served some of the best vegan food I’ve eaten and stay in some gorgeous bell tents. I’ve been twice with my next trip booked in already. Thoroughly ...

Me and my wife spent 5 days (we wished the time spent was longer) at Jacobs Ridge, an animal rescue sanctuary in Spain. It's difficult to put in words just how fabulous our time was. Jobs ranged from feeding the animals, cleaning them out, walking the dogs, spending time with the cats and general ...

Jacob's Ridge is an amazing place. I've been 3 times on my own and met so many lovely like minded people. The couple who run the sanctuary are so friendly and I class them as friends now. It's amazing to just be able to spend time with the animals whether it be mucking them out or taking the dogs ...

I've been to Jacobs Ridge 3 times now and each time my experience has been completely different (which I love), but what has been consistent is the welcome, you instantly feel like part of the family. The tents, they are always clean and cosy, the attention to detail is spot on. The food, oh my ...
