This is Misty who is a young collie x, she’s not yet a year old. She came in recently with her sister Sophia, who is in the same condition. Both of them are extremely thin, you can feel all their bones. They don’t have good muscle development and (this is quite strange) their feet are […]
There has been no massive public outcry over the royal suggestion last week that we should consider horses as farm animals and send them to slaughter and eat them. It’s disappointing to think that the general public may be misled by this statement from Princess Anne and actually believe that the welfare of horses will […]
A big thank you for feeding us! It’s been great to walk in to Reception and see all the dog and cat food that our kind and compassionate Pet Samaritans have brought in for us. It makes all the difference in helping us to keep going – everybody eats more in these cold winter […]
Black cats are lucky and that is true. We feel very lucky to have supa-cat Jet staying with us. He took a while to settle but now he is fine and a more loving little cat would be hard to find. Jet is about 2 years old and is clean and well trained. He is […]

It’s hedgehog time of year and we’re getting underweight hoglets brought in every day now. They need to be up to weight before they can be allowed to hibernate or else they won’t have enough body fat to last through the winter. Fortunately all the ones brought in so far are eating well and will […]
It’s several years since German Shepherd girl Petra came in as a stray. She was a wrecl and had been traumatised by her former circumstances. She began to settle down but not until she met sanctuary volunteer Denise did she really start to come out of her shell. It was love at first sight, an […]
Big bulldog and mastiff breeds are normally gentle giants – we occasionally have them come in and if they do would choose a home for them with the utmost care. They need lots of space, exercise and freedom to spread out. They eat a lot of food – a hungry French Mastiff would be an […]
