Our thoughts, prayers and blessings are all with Dot, a much loved dog who is, sadly, approaching the end of her days. Please help her to be free from pain and anxiety and her carer, Claire to have the consolation of knowing she has always done her best for the happiness of her beloved friend […]
With so many unwanted pets being brought in – a puppy, two staffis, a rottweiler and two cats this week, we are having a real struggle to keep going. Every dog and cat brought in needs to be wormed, de-flead, vaccinated and have a health check – then we’re on to spaying and neutering when […]
Everything is harder and more costly in winter and we are struggling to cope with vet bills at present. So many cats and dogs need help and care and medication and vaccination when they come in to us. We never put them to sleep while they are free from pain, eating well and […]
The ponies are glad to come in when the weather is bad, they don’t need to be caught up – just open the gates and call them and their little legs go like clockwork as they dash for the stables. Most of it is because they are hoping for an extra feed! Still, […]

They make wonderful companion friends and will follow you about and always want to be with you. A mother goat is devoted to her kids and will maintain ties with […]
ALFIE – passed on to cat heaven at the end of 2011. He came in to us as a stray and a more loving and placid cat would be hard to find. Alfie had been with us for a couple of years and had settled well – we love them all but Alfie […]
This dog came in to us as a stray and look at her poor feet. This is just what we don’t want to see. It must be very uncomfortable, if not painful, for dogs to have to walk with long nails. Such neglect can deform the angle of the paw too. If you […]
