Lush cosmetics have been really supportive of our charity. Last year they donated £1,000 towards our Dartmoor Pony rescue, this year they are supporting us through fundraising events at bot Nottingham and Derby stores.
This weekend we were at the Nottingham store, next Sunday 1 July, we will be at the Derby branch. Its great to be supported by a cosmetic company with such ethical beliefs, one which strongly opposes testing on animals.

Today we reached the 200 rabbit milestone, that’s sadly 200 that we have been unable to save this year and had to turn away, more than we have rehomed in the past 3 years. The situation with unwanted pets increases year on year, leaving rescue centres full and having to turn away animals. So why…
Today we rescued 3 Dartmoor Ponies that were due to be shot this morning for pet food! Once more we find this sad situation. Yet again many young Dartmoor Ponies are facing slaughter as the unwanted ponies become animal feed. A century ago 30,000 of these ponies roamed the moors, now just 1,500 remain. They…
