Re-homed – thank you. This is Claude who is lucky because he was brought in to us but not so lucky because no one has ever come to claim him. He is a lovely fellow, quite a big cat and very laid back. We don’t think he is very old, possibly around two […]
Our friends over at Makeda Rhodesian Ridgebacks have sent us an email about their recently born puppies. The pictures are rather cute and we thought you’d love to see them. Ridgebacks make great family dogs and we rarely see them in the Sanctuary for re-homing. The good news is sales from some of these puppies […]
Bridget came into the sanctuary earlier this year and she is a very tiny foal, only 28 inches even now. She is perfectly proportioned and in fine condition except for one of her front legs, which is not growing as it should. Ponies, like people, sometimes have abnormalities and leg problems are fairly common […]
That’s better! Chester has had his knots combed out and is back to his handsome self. He has a magnificent mane which reaches nearly to his knees and he likes it to be brushed. Chester has been with us for many years, we rescued him from a meat market. He was […]
Chester looks like he’s had a rough night – or has he been running with the wild things? Why do horses’ manes suddenly get tangled? Superstition has it that they’ve been taken for midnight rides by witches though it would have to be a little one to fit on our thirty four inch […]

A lady called Gladys, who is in her eighties, recently sent us these lovely lines she’d written herself all about dogs. The words fit Jack Spratt and Nolene perfectly, they are the most faithful and loving dogs ever. Gladys has called her poem ‘A Man’s Best Friend’ – A faithful dog will play with […]
We have wanted to rescue more turkeys for a long time and here are our latest arrivals. They are three young ladies or hens as the females are called. They are all the same breed which is British White, not really one of the old breeds but a commercial strain bred for meat […]
Every cat is different and for each one who wants to go a-roaming there is another who likes being indoors best of all. If the environment outside is risky, because of traffic is the main reason, then keeping your cat inside is the best option. Cats get killed and injured by cars every day. If […]
Their mum was brought in already heavily pregnant, she’d been wandering around back gardens looking for someone to feed and shelter her. She’s a young cat and friendly but very unsettled. Tilly gave birth to these three little ones last week, they are a bit smaller than usual probably because mom didn’t have enough […]
