Welcome to Wallace Kennels Dog Rescue

A small family run rescue established since 1975 dedicated to helping stray and unwanted dogs in and around the Essex area.

About Us

Wallace Kennels is a small family run Dog Rescue with help from a team of dedicated volunteers without whom we could not function.
The kennels have been in operation for over 45 years. It was initially a thriving boarding kennels and cattery run by Vera Robinson who was awarded an MBE for her tireless work in 2006.  She sadly died in 2010 and her son Mark and daughter-in-law Dee have continued to run and renovate the kennels ever since.
Wallace Kennels are the stray dog pound for the Boroughs of Brentwood and Chelmsford and will occasionally take over-flow dogs from other areas as and when needed.  We also take in unwanted and abandoned dogs for rehabilitation and rehoming once ready from the general public - space permitting.
The kennels can accommodate up to 60 dogs at any one time but try to keep to more manageable numbers to ensure that all the dogs get the care and assistance they need and deserve.  We pride ourselves on getting to know our dogs and aim to find each and everyone that comes through our doors their forever home, however long that may take us.  

We do, in principle, have a non-destruct policy but sadly on very rare occasions, for a variety of reasons, it may not be possible to save someone - these decisions are taken jointly and with much sadness.
We are a non-profit rescue that rely solely on the goodwill and generosity of the public in order to stay open.  We are extremely grateful for any donations no matter how small - every single penny helps us to continue doing what we do, improve our facilities and stay open.
