We called him Barrimanilo because he’s middle aged, laid back and good looking. Is he a crooner? Well Barri certainly has a melodic meow! This friendly and good natured cat came in with a badly injured nose, we don’t know what had happened to him but he was feeling very sorry for himself. His nose […]
We’re having to be very patient as our exhausted pigeon is taking such a long time to recover. He eats and sleeps and likes being hand fed but up until yesterday he hadn’t moved at all. Then there was a sudden break through and without any warning – he stood up! The camera wasn’t to […]
There used to be grass and nettles and brambles in the paddock but now Kevin the pig is making short work of all the weeds. Kevin is proving to be quite an efficient gardener, he eats the weeds and roots too so we don’t have to cart them away. He didn’t know what to do […]
The first litter of baby rabbits are out of the nest and hopping around and eating well. They are mostly harlequin and are very pretty – just one is a golden colour all over – just like mum. The parents can be seen and have lovely temperaments so I would expect the babies to be […]
Buy a Pet Samaritans magazine and help the sanctuary. A single issue is £2.00 including postage, it’s £10 subscription for a year and that’s quarterly – four issues. It’s packed with news, views, rescues, hints and tips and it’s a good way to boost our funds and have a good read at the same time. […]
This is Jacko who came in to us a couple of weeks ago. Isn’t he a great looking little dog? He has a temperament to match and is a real sweetie and full of character. Unfortunately he has a severe skin problem and is out of condition generally. His skin is dry and tight with […]
When Homer the pigeon came in to Sanctuary Reception by himself, we knew he was going to be something special. Most birds are brought in by a rescuer – he came on his own. He wasn’t able to fly or even stand although we couldn’t see any injury. Homer settled down well, he is in […]
There are few creatures sweeter than baby rabbits and Honeybun’s new litter are no exception. Of course, we didn’t know Honeybun was expecting. The rabbits had been sexed by an ‘expert’ when they came in so we didn’t bother to have a look ourselves – big mistake! Silva is so obviously a buck now he […]
There were some heartfelt goodbyes when Callie went off to her new home yesterday. She is a lovely dog and we all fell in love with her good nature and bravery over her injuries when she first came in. Callie is a sensitive soul and we knew that in the end she would choose her […]
We’re looking for a new home for Timothy. He is one of the most laid back cat’s we’ve ever known, he loves comfort and is a good listener so you can tell him all your troubles. He responds well too with little soft meow’s – agreement? sympathy? Or is time for some more flaked tuna? […]
