If you have been following our Facebook posts, you probably already know that Alan came to us when his owner passed away just before Christmas. He was very sad when he came to us but we are pleased with how well he has settled into Sanctuary Life. He is a wonderful dog. Kind and sensitive […]
The other day we received a lovely letter from Maisie who has completed her Brownies charities badge by raising funds for the animal sanctuary. Over the years she has supported us with fund raising events and visits to help at the animal sanctuary. It really has been amazing, so a big thank you from all […]

We thought talking to the animals was something Dr Dolittle did in films but three beautiful parrots have had us in stitches with their witty banter. Say hello to Georgie, Paulie and Mikey.

Dronfield vets reached out to us for help with this little pigeon. It had been noticed in a garden for over a week and didn’t seem able to fly so was taken to Dronfield Veterinary Clinic for a check up. She has no obvious injuries but is still not able to fly so we will […]
It’s been more hectic than usual this summer with abandoned cats and orphan kits. We have taken in lots of PREGNANT, NURSING CATS and KITTENS who needed our help to survive. We’ve seen some tragic cases and performed miracles – do you remember little Dottie? She was so tiny and frail when she came to […]
We’re very sad to inform you that Timmy – our long time ‘meeter and greeter’ at the sanctuary – passed away in his sleep last night. He had shown no signs of ill health and was his usual self, begging for the left over kitten milk, making the rounds for plenty of fuss and enjoying […]
