The owners of Grinshill Animal Rescue Centre, near Wem, say they need to relocate after outgrowing their existing base.
The centre, which mostly relies on donations, takes in stray and abused cats and dogs and tries to rehome them.
Jenny Martinez, who started rescuing animals more than 30 years ago and runs the centre with her daughter Kate Aspinall, said: "We have outgrown in terms of outside space for dogs and we need a bigger cattery.
"The high numbers of unwanted animals has always been there and it's never gone down.
