Our brand new visitor center - yes we have never had an official visitor center before! - will be opening this weekend. After six months hard work we have converted our old bookstore and yard sale sheds into a fantastic new visitor center. We'd like to thank all those who have helped make this possible and especially the volunteers who have mucked in with painting, clearing up rubbish and keeping the labour force in cups of tea. And a special big thankyou to HeBe Jewellery who have funded nearly all the costs of restoring the building and have agreed to donate 15% of all future profits from sales to the up keep and running of the sanctuary and center. So if you fancy some unique silver jewellery head on over to their online store or visit their unit at the sanctuary.

We Need You're Help!

We'd really like to be able to offer you a cup of coffee or tea - even a slice of homemade cake - when you come to see us at the visitor center but we need to raise some additional funds to pay for a coffee machine, kettle, cups, saucers, plates, tables, chairs, fridge, microwave etc. We estimate the cost will be a £1000. If you can make any donation towards the cost of this equipment, please let us know - even if it's only a £1! You can reach us on 01246 456177 or make a Paypal donation online

As well as getting info on adoptions, the Rambling Rovers Club and the work we do, you can also browse in the book section (hundreds of great titles) and check out the donated gifts, cards, bric a brac, jewellery and all sorts of bits and bobs - bargains galore.  Everything is sold to raise funds for the animals and we're open 10.0 am to 4.0pm.

At weekends there are usually some of the little ponies hanging around hoping for apples and carrots.  We bring them to their pony pens on a rota basis so you might see Ruby and Daydream one day, Pixie and Bibby the next or Daisy and Crispin.   The goats like to get their share of the attention so we fetch them down from time to time.  The goats do have a mind of their own though.

We have details of dogs for adoption on display so it's a good opportunity to sit down for a few minutes and have a look through our Sanctuary Soulmates gallery.   If you see someone you like, we can fetch him to meet you and maybe you'll go off for a walk together.  It's a good way to get to know your prospective pal.

The books have all been donated and if you don't see the title or author you are looking for please let us know - we'll do a book search for you free of charge.   Every week we try to put out a box or two of free books - they might be a bit scuffed round the edges but perfectly good reading copies - please help yourself.

If you'd like to donate items to help us, please note that we don't take clothes anymore.   We have limited storage facilities and getting rid of anything that doesn't sell is very expensive now so please check out what we need with us first.
Our appreciation to everyone who helps us - the African c.d. rack and stand brought in last week is lovely - thank you

We'll be putting up opening times and lots more information, so check back soon or better still pop down and see it in person! If you would like more information please ring the center on 01246 452078.
