Coco is a 11.2 hand, 17 year old pony. Unfortunately her owner had to give her up and she is prone to Laminitis.

Coco must have a strict diet, not be exposed to rich grass and receive regular exercise and attention to ensure her condition is controlled.  She is a beautiful and well behaved pony who has already got many fans.

Due to Coco’s condition she is not up for rehoming. She has been very fortunate to have found a kind sponsor who will pay for her up keep.

Finally after months of  filling out paperwork and receiving advice, we are now officially a Charity and have a Brinsley Animal Rescue bank account. This will allow us to not only claim the tax back on donations but to apply for grants. (more…)

This young lad came in with 2 other unneutered rabbits so had to be seperated.  He found an amazingly spacious home with a lovely doe called ‘Sally’.  What a perfect and happy ending. Well for Jack it is just the beginning of a great new adventure.

Many people who have visited us ask us what kind of hen Bertha is.  She is a ‘broiler’ hen.  She was ‘designed’ to live for 39 days, that’s all it takes from birth to slaughter for food. (more…)

We have been asked to take on 4 goats and 2 Jacob sheep. We need help to build another enclosure for these animals who are already living together. Woody the goat in the picture originally lived in a ‘petting farm’ but kept escaping. (more…)

Recently there has been a spate of attacks on swans not far from here. A swan has been shot in Jacksdale and Codnor as well as another 4 being attacked and 1 being decapitated.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) are offering a £1000 reward for anyone with information on these horrific crimes.

Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to call the RSPCA on 300 1234 999.

Alli & Abi

Alli is a little nervous but understandably so, as she came from a dreadful breeder. She would make a lovely pet for someone, she needs loads of time and fuss. 

Abi is a pure black rabbit. At present she is a bit timid. She had been used by a breeder but she really needs a permanent loving home.
