We’re having a Christmas Fair on Saturday 8th December, at the sanctuary and starting at 11.0am – going on till 3-ish. We’ll have lots of bric-a-brac to rummage through and bargain price pet items – also books, jewellery etc. It’ll be indoors and nice and warm if it’s cold […]
There are still a lot of young hedgehogs wandering around during the day. They are looking for food and trying their best to survive. Please help them by putting out saucers of cat food (chicken flavour is best) and also sunflower seeds, hedgehog food if you can get it. Milk isn’t good […]
A dog with any kind of heart disease needs a vet’s care. There are still things you can do to help your dog have a good quality of life though. Keeping her weight down is a big help, if she’s overweight, her heart has a lot more work to do. A slimmer’s diet […]
A white one year old female Jack Russell has gone missing from the Holbrook/Makeney/Duffield. She disappeared on Mon 12th Nov 2012. This lovely little dog has ginger patches on her face, has a full tail and is microchipped. She is very friendly. This dog isn’t from this area but it’s surprising where lost dogs […]

This is what happened to Krystal earlier this year and it was only our equine graduate […]
