We always have mixed feelings when we re-home our rescued animals, we’re sorry to see them go, but very happy knowing that we have home checked their home and been reassured that they are going to a loving home. Katie and Joe came in separately, Joe has been with us for a couple of years…
One of our largest bills used to be hay, which is why we now produce our own on one of the fields donated to the charity. However, as we don’t have anywhere to store it, we have to wrap the hay to save it from the elements. The wrapping not only increases our costs, but…
