It’s happy ending time at last for some of our doggy friends – Stella and Selena both went to lovely homes before Christmas – thanks folks. A couple of the dogs brought in as strays were claimed and this week Blue (who was recovering nicely) has this week gone to his new forever home […]
It’s now (from 1st Janauary 2012) illegal throughout Europe to keep hens in battery cages. About time too. So this is good news isn’t it? Well, sort of. Although farmers in the U.K. are prepared for this it doesn’t mean to say that hens are kept naturally. They are social creatures […]
There’s a big debate on at present about whether dog registration should be compulsory. Most of the people and organisations putting forward opinions have little ‘hands on’ experience of the stray dog problem. The majority, if not all, of the big animal shelters do not take in strays. If they did, they would […]
Happy New Year from everyone at the sanctuary and from all our animals too. 2011 is over and although it was touch and go at times, we’ve survived. Thinking about all the dogs and cats and other animals who wouldn’t make it without our help is what keeps us going. The help […]

JAKE WENT MISSING on 22nd November 2011. There have been many sightings of him but none have come to anything and his owners are desperate for news and his safe return. Jake went missing from his home near Eckington, Sheffield. We have no further details of him – whether he has been […]
A big thank you from Miss Nolene on behalf of all the sanctuary animals – the gifts of food and treats and goodies over the Christmas period have been wonderful. The dogs and all the cats have really enjoyed their treats – the lovely goody box with toys in as well, was especially liked. […]
It’s easy to check whether a dog is microchipped. You just run the scanner over him and hey presto, it will beep and there you are – the number comes up on the screen. Where does that get us though? None of the stray dogs in over the Christmas period have been […]
No cats, but several dogs were brought in over Christmas, we even had a phone call about a stray at 3.0am Christmas morning! Also we had reports of an extremely aggressive dog holding a couple at bay in a house on Christmas Day. What happened? Did the dog attack them? Escape? […]
