Meet, well, he’s only been with us a few hours so we are still considering a suitable name, could it be Coconut or should it be Desmond, what do you think? Anyway Mr. Kune Kune pig was found wandering around a housing estate, made his way into someones back garden and made himself at home…
Thank you everyone who contributed in anyway making our Christmas Open Day a great success, raising £2,800 towards our running costs, to help keep us rescuing needy animals. A massive thank you to everyone involved, the volunteers who have spent weeks planning and preparing for the day, the bakers who tirelessly baked hundreds of cakes,…
A few years ago Marlpool Brewery launched Blind Boris, a dark mild real ale named after our very own Boris Bull. This weekend Marlpool brewery launched Maisy Moo, a golden real ale, named after Boris’s girlfriend, the beautiful Maisy Moo. We popped along for a pint (for research purposes of course), however it had been so…
This weekend we took Colin to his new, life-long home. We originally took in Colin in August this year, he was reported to have been a stray. He wasn’t castrated, so we needed to sort that out, to get him ready for rehoming. Male pigs need to be castrated, this makes them less boisterous but…

Meet Dexter our retired Ram. This old boy had “served his purpose” as a breeding Ram and was no longer required, he was due to be killed. Dexter initially went to another rescue before coming to us a few weeks ago. He is very large and quite a boisterous old boy, but he does have…
It’s been another truly long day with a production line of 5 castrates to do now we are having cold weather. With many of the animals here we have to wait for the colder weather to carry out these necessary ops due to the risk of fly strike. It’s very sad that we usually get…
You may remember that back in May we rescued 4 fox cubs. They had been found cuddling their dead mother. Had they not been found, they would have certainly perished. The great news it that these four siblings have been successfully hand reared by us and are now wild, living in the countryside enjoying life….
