Happy Birthday to animal lover John Whiteley. Instead of birthday cards and presents he asked for pet food to be given to us – and what a birthday bonanza that proved to be. John’s friends were very generous and the animals love them for it. John’s great idea (and going without any pressies) has meant […]
We’ve had a lot more cats in recently, some are strays, other deliberately abandoned. There is a cat who had her kittens in a flower bed, another who came in with one tiny kitten. The big ginger lad shown above (who we’ve called Pumpkin) was left behind when his owners moved away. He’s a lovely […]
Re-homed, thanks. This is a fine, well grown Indian Runner duckling. She’s about six weeks old and still has some downy fluff but is getting proper feathers. We have four of them and no way of telling them apart, they are identical. We find Indian Runners to be friendly and docile, they get […]
It’s not the kitten in the foreground who is the miracle baby but the little one at the top of the picture. There’s such a difference in size, the big kitten is approx. 5 weeks old, the teeny one is only a few days. They both look to be doing alright, where’s the miracle then? […]
He doesn’t look too bad with his woolly coat on but take it off and this little dog is in a shocking state. He was a stray and was brought to us when he wasn’t claimed. We’ve called him Cristo and he’s a pitiful sight, emaciated and just skin and bone. He has sores all […]
When Jerry Lee comes to stay with us he is supporting the sanctuary, his friends Magic and Oscar come too. These are lovely dogs and great friends together. Jerry Lee is a handsome fella and quite a poseur, he likes having his photo taken. He’s shown here having a pause on a walk, he enjoys […]
Poppy came to stay with us a couple of years ago. She was a house cat who didn’t behave herself – she was a lovely feline friend but not clean and her habit of spraying in and around the house was hard to cope with. Who knows why cats spray? Male cats do it to […]
Diesel was a stray with no home and no one to care for him. He was picked up by the dog wardens and eventually came to us. It’s hard to understand what happened to him because a nicer dog would be hard to find. He’s good natured, kind, agreeable, well behaved and hasn’t put a […]
Snowy has a lovely home all ready for him, thank you. We don’t offer our rescued animals for adoption until they have had a health check, been vaccinated and we’ve assessed their personality and behaviour. Matching people to pets is vital, we want you both to be well suited and happy! Many of our […]
