We just want to say a huge, huge thank you to everyone that helped out and supported our first open day on Sunday. We are so, so grateful to so many people. We raised nearly £2,000 with more money still being pledged which is more than we ever hope for.
Pepper and George These two Kune Kune pigs (pronounced Kunie Kunie) came from Liverpool. Pepper and George kept frightening their owners horses and were therefore given up.

We have waited a long time to do another hen rescue but this weekend we have secured a retirement for 80 ex bats. have now collected the ladies and hope to get them into their new homes as soon as possible. We will be ringing people that are currently on our waiting list for hens.
This Sunday Nottingham Animal Rights will kindly be doing a street collection on behalf of Brinsley Animal Rescue in Nottingham city centre. If you are able to spare some time or cash then please lend your support and find our supporters in St Petersgate.

Archie, Benji, Charlie and Dillon were all rescued at one week old, the waste by product of the dairy industry. We took them in and hand reared them, finally they have gone to a great new home in West Yorkshire.
