The warm weather is finally upon us and so we can shear the sheep to ensure that they don’t get too hot or get fly strike. As we need every penny to go along way in helping animals, we don’t pay anyone to sheer the sheep, we do it ourselves, volunteers work for free! We…
Last weekend we took a call from a cat and dog rescue charity that had taken a call about some pigs kept in appalling conditions. We were asked to see if we could take mum and 6 piglets in. We did initially say no, as we are full. We already have 10 pigs and can only take on more,…
This is a lucky Collard dove, we found him at the sanctuary, grounded and immobilised due to a broken left leg, broken in two places. We swiftly splinted the leg and put him in a cage for rest and rehabilitation. He certainly chose the right place to get a broken leg!
Two weeks ago we took in a baby stoat, he was found on a path with a small injury, you can just see the healed wound in this photo. He was very young, had no fur and his eyes still closed, this photo was taken two weeks after the rescue. Here he is now at…

A few weeks ago we received a call about a loose goat, which had been seen in a hedge bottom alongside a road for a couple of weeks. The worried caller said that the poor goat wasn’t in great shape and was very thin. He had managed to trace the…
Meet Flossy, a giant female albino rabbit looking for a life-long home with a partner. Flossy is large, she weights around 10 kg and so needs to be homed to an adult, ideally someone with experience with rabbits. She is handle-able, but being so large she is also strong and therefore not suitable to be handled by children. Flossy needs to be homed with…
Meet our latest rescued sheep, this little girl has escaped almost certain death. Our currently unnamed lamb, was found by a member of the public on their garden patio of all places.
