Blake is a great little dog except for one thing – every time you get him out he bites the lead. Not once or twice, he is obsessive about what he sees as a form of play. The big problem is that he sometimes misses – watch your fingers! This is a dangerous […]
We know that winter is here when the ponies start eating the hay we put out. At around £4.00 per bale this is expensive food for them but they need the fibre and goodness it provides. There’s little food value in the grass now and a pony needs to eat constantly, they are […]
Perro is improving – but slowly. He is better in himself and is a happy little dog now. His sore patches are healing but his skin is still inflamed in places. We’ve had dogs in before with similar skin problems, although not quite so thin, and have found that a holistic diet […]
Wispa is improving, her appetite is better and she’s eating hungrily, although still not much at a time. She is underdeveloped so it will take a time for her to pick up, she might always be a small cat but it does look as though she is going to pull through. Whether she’ll […]
The ponies have grown their winter coats, long haired now and invariably covered in mud which helps to keep them warm. Their manes also are huge and take a long time to comb, the ponies don’t mind how they look, the tangles don’t bother them. They will keep this thick winter coat until the […]
We don’t know how long Wispa had to fend for herself before she was brought in to us. Her face is thin, her eyes are sad and she is desperately thin. She looks older than her size allows so we are wondering how long she has been left out to cope on her own. […]
All of our permanent sanctuary residents are available for sponsorship – a yearly donation of £10.00 helps with their care and you are welcome to come and see them and bring treats. Your ‘adopted’ cat will usually get to know you and look forward to your visits, especially if you bring pouches or chopped chicken! […]
Re-homed – thanks folks. Miss Calico kitten is a proper little lady – she always finds the cosiest place to sleep and gets herself really snug. We’re looking for a home for this ginger, tabby, black and white kitten – no need to check whether she’s male or female because all cats this colour […]
We have many disabled animals in the sanctuary and we give them a permanent home. Often it’s because they would not fit in with the lifestyle of an average household. This wasn’t the case with little Loveday, the kitten shown above. Would anyone want her? Although perfectly fit and well, her disability would […]
When Rags came in to the sanctuary because her elderly owner had to go into hospital she settled down straight away. It had been difficult for her owner to look after her because of illness and Rags loved sanctuary life from the start. She is a lovely little broken coated terrier around middle age […]
