Almost every day we receive calls asking us to take on unwanted animals, mainly rabbits and all too often its baby rabbits, from irresponsible owners who have not neutered their pets and now have a litter of more.

These two guys were taking in by us in 2010 and re-homed, unfortunately things didn’t work out and today their back with us.

We work very hard from 5am until 11pm, 7 days a week, so that we can rescue and care for so many animals and hold down a full time job. This time of year can get very depressing with the cold, wet weather and dark mornings and nights and the relentless phone calls and animals needing…
Tomorrow we are rescuing another 100 ex-battery hens,this is part of 3000 that are being saved from being sent to slaughter for pet food. If you are on our waiting list, please be patient, it does take time to home check.
