If there are any doubts that meeting dogs can be good for you, this picture of a young visitor to our Christmas fair, will dispel them. Our sanctuary resident Miss Whippets are loving the fuss and their new friend is very happy to get to know them. Dogs that are well […]
This is Noel who is one of our sanctuary resident turkeys. He’s been with us for nearly ten years now and is a fine bird, although showing his age a bit. We don’t know how old he was when he was brought in, we rescued him one Christmas to save him from being […]
One of the first arrivals at our Christmas Fair yesterday was this little hoglet. She’d been found wandering about in the cold the night before and was taken in by these kind folk who kept her warm and fed her before bringing her in to us. Every hedgehog saved helps […]

Biggie is one of the baby hedgehogs we bottle reared – he was such a tiny tot but just look at him now. He still likes to be petted and likes to find somewhere snug to have a snooze. A fleece beanie hat made the perfect nest […]
We never want to be in a position where we have to turn a sick or injured pet away but we urgently need funds to enable us to carry on. Our wildlife rescues are heartwarming but they are another drain on our resources. If you could make us even […]
