“Jess” has been missing since Tuesday 23/10. She was last seen in the back garden at home on Haydn Road Chaddesden. She has white paws, white Moustache and a white stripe from her chest to her belly. She was wearing a red collar […]
Jack Spratt and Miss Nolene have been in the sanctuary for many years and they are inseparable although they do have their moments and have a little squabble from time to time. Spratt is very opinionated but Nolene usually gives in to him. They are both disabled dogs – Spratt has only three […]
Our two biggest hedgehog babies are doing well and have a good appetite. Warm goats milk is still the favourite and they also like a variety of food – hedgehogs are picky eaters though and what they like one day, they spurn the next. They like sunflower seeds, chicken, cat food […]
Most cats are much loved pets for all of their life and are treasured and cared for as they get old. Sadly, this wasn’t the case for Molly who was abandoned a couple of years ago. She has only survived because of the generosity of people in the neighbourhood who have taken […]

Having lots of blankets to cuddle up into makes all the difference – Misty is snug and warm in her bed thanks to the kind person who brought her knitted throws in. We urgently need lots more towels, fleeces and bedding of every kind to help keep our cats and kits and youngster dogs and […]

Feeding baby hedgehogs isn’t easy. It ‘s not the two hourly routine, it’s that they don’t take their milk easily.
