Kiwi Arrives at the Rescue

ByJon

Recently we took a call to take in this amazingly affectionate Kune Kune pig, who we now call Kiwi, when her partner had to be ethanised. Initially we had to say no, as we have to all too often, we can only take animals in when people rehomed the one we have and create space.

Kiwi’s owner was going to euthanise her if a home could not be found. Fotunately in the nick of time we found space. Kiwi is an amazing eight year old girl, she comes to us as soon as she hears us approach and just adhours human attention.

We now need to find a partner for Kiwi and a life-long home, she will make a lovely pet, she is very gentle, slow, very talkative and for anyone who has the right accommodation, will make a very rewarding pet.

    Ever thought about how to eradicate a fifth of our open day taking in one go? Answer, dump 8 kittens at the top of the drive with little thought about how we are going to raise the money to keep them and get them rehomed! Easy. Every day we are faced with challenges but over…

    Swan Rescue

    ByJon

    Another accident caused by the sheer carelessness of fishing! If not outlawed then perhaps the license fee of this ‘hobby’ should go towards the veterinary costs of wildlife casualties we regularly see!!This swan had this 3 pronged hook deeply embedded into the muscle of her wing. There was no way we could safely remove it…
