We’ve had several strays brought in recently, the two featured here are in good condition and so friendly that they must have been someone’s pet. Penny, the black cat above, and Denver, the ginger and white shown below, came in separately from different areas. In both cases we were told that their owners had […]
When pigeons come in with injuries we wait till they’ve recovered and then release them. They sometimes hang around for a while and then they fly off. Not all of them do this however. Peppa pigeon was here for about a month before we released her. We thought she’d flown away but not so, she’d […]
Our Autumn Fair today was very enjoyable, thank you to everyone who came and supported us, it was lovely to see you. Our visitors were able to meet Tin-tin, shown above. He’s a red Lakeland x puppy who came in recently and as everybody who met him will agree, this pup is a real star. […]
We’re getting a lot of hedgehogs brought in at present, it’s that time of year, mostly they are poorly or weak and hungry when they arrive. The one above looks alright but she was found sitting in the middle of a lane at the weekend so we know she has a problem, no healthy hedgehog […]
Most pigs in the UK have a terrible life. Few are free range and even when they are it is usually a bare paddock with electric fencing round it. It ‘s a short life for most of them – between 20 to 26 weeks before they are slaughtered. These are intelligent creatures and very similar […]
Marcy is a mini-German Shepherd and no, we don’t think it’s a new breed (maybe it should be!) she’s a cross perhaps with a Jack Russell. A small G.S. is a delightful dog, more compact and takes up less room in the house and car. Marcy came in because of domestic circumstances, a new baby […]
Hope, the little kitten who came in with an injured eye, went back to the vet for a check up today. It wasn’t the good news we were wishing for – her eye is improved but she has no sight in it. Well, we were almost expecting that but not what came next – the […]
Cristo, who came in to us because he had been abandoned, has perked up and is looking much brighter. He is still frail but now well enough to go to the vet. It was both good and bad news. Nothing can be done about his teeth at this stage. They are in a terrible state […]
She’s a beautiful puppy and with a temperament to match. Bounty is a sweet puppy around ten weeks old. She was abandoned, impossible to understand as this little brindle staffi is such a good girl. You can read more about her on our Adoption pages – or come up and meet her, she’s ready to […]
We’ve already had firework nights in this area – one went on for over three hours last week. A lot of dogs are terrified, cats too and ponies. We had a pony blinded in one eye by a rocket a few years ago. Alright, so we expect the bangers and screechers on and around Bonfire […]
