Pepperpot is a young lady Jack Russell and all she wants for Christmas is someone to love. She’s around two years old, spayed and fully vaccinated and with a delightful personality. Pepper has been as good as gold while she’s been here and is already a real favourite. She likes to go walks and play […]
We’re open on Sunday 14th December from 11.0am to 3.0pm – it’s a chance to do some last minute browsing in the Sanctuary store – we have pet gifts and lots for their owners too – gifts, vintage, collectables, books etc. Say hello to Little Billy while you’re here – he loves to meet his […]
Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and cold and came to see the animals. It’s been a great day, in spite of the weather, and we are so appreciative of your support. There’s been lots of bargains and all the animals have enjoyed the fuss and attention, especially Little Billy who enjoys meeting […]
Isn’t it cruel to just dump a cat somewhere he doesn’t know and where he might not be found? Last week we had a young cat left out in the rain in our yard. She was thin and soaking wet, close to death when we found her. This one has fared a little better, at […]
Can you give Laddie a home? He’s a lovely dog, a Labrador x and with a great personality. He’s a medium size dog, cream in colour and very polite, he’s clean and well behaved. Our volunteers take him out to the park for walks and he’s good in the car. Laddie hasn’t put a paw […]
A big thank you to Shirley and everyone at Steria of Chesterfield, for all their recent fundraising and wonderful donation of £169.00 – and a load of pet food. It just came at the right time and we are so grateful for their generosity and especially to Shirley, who is a dedicated animal lover, for […]
Manni, the injured kestrel, had us in suspense most of yesterday. In spite of us tempting him with mice and chicks, he refused to eat. Getting used to his new surroundings was part of the problem, birds are very sensitive and he was obviously stressed. He was warm and quiet but the chopped up meat […]
This young hawk was found in a garden at Mansfield and brought in to us before dark. We were relieved because it was unlikely he would have survived overnight. Can you come and fetch him was the first question when the concerned people who found the bird rang up? Unfortunately we can’t do this […]
It’s early days but there is already an improvement in Little Billy’s condition. He isn’t howling or shaking or looking so doped. Being off the medication will help his system to heal and him to recover. He’s beginning to be a happy little chap, we’ve had smiles and fuss from him, he loves attention and […]
In dogs, as well as humans, health is everything. We take it for granted until it breaks down. This is Little Billy, an elderly and poorly Jack Russell, who has been brought in to us because his owners, who have their own health problems, can’t cope with him any more. He’s been unwell for […]
