Our volunteers have mixed feelings saying goodbye to Bob and Brenda, two geese that have been with us to seven years now. Geese make great guard dogs, they are territorial and if you’re a stranger, beware of the loud honks and ankle nipping! Generally people are more frightened of geese than they are of dogs….
Today we took Mavis and Eric to a great new home where they now live as pet sheep, with other sheep. Mavis and Eric first came to us as unwanted pets, we have since provided them with sanctuary. By rehoming allows us to create space for other to be rescued, this won’t be for long…

These two are new admissions at the rescue, two unwanted pets Henry and Dixie. Thankfully they are safe now.
