Juno and Sammy move to their Forever Home

ByJon

Juno and Sammy are rescued Dartmoor Ponies, they are two of the many ponies we have rescued from certain slaughter.

Each year hundreds of Dartmoor Ponies are rounded up off the moor and sent to auction. Sadly they sell for as little as £5, many are then killed for pet food or fed to lions and tigers in zoos. We rescue them, train them from wild ponies to become great pets.

Juno and Sammy have now gone to their amazing new home, where they’ll be kept as pets. Good luck Juno and Sammy, we miss you but we are so happy you have a great new home.

    Based as far away from the sea as we possibly can be it isn’t that often we get in gulls. However they are well known scavengers at tips and do come inland to see what human food they can scrounge. This cocky young gull came in last week and is eating all on his own….

    Pair of Book Ends

    ByJon

    At the sanctuary we receive calls at all times of day and night, not easy when we also work for a living, sometimes when we return home the voice mail is full and we have to prioritise the return calls. Last night we took two calls around midnight, one was for these two beautiful Doves. A member of the public found these two birds just…
