Our amazing little Howie had his first physiotherapy session with our new friends at Snowy's Canine Therapy Centre yesterday.
Howie has had a whole raft of health issues over the course of his short life so far, all stemming from the poor conditions he was born in on a farm - not only did he probably not get the vital colostrum he needed as a newborn, he also had joint ill and an infected eye before he came to us which we then had to have removed. On top of that, he's also struggled with pneumonia and a worm burden! All of this has taken its toll on our beautiful boy, making his body a bit weaker and legs a bit wobblier than his lamby friends. But he's a fighter and we will do everything in our power to help him.
So when we reached out to Snowy's to see if there was anything they could offer to help, and they said they'd love to work with Howie, AND offer us a 50% discount, we absolutely had to take them up!
Prince Howie was treated by 3 members of the Snowy's team, Lucy, Gemma and Sam, and they were all so kind, knowledgeable and keen to do everything they could to help him. As well as an initial assessment, they did laser therapy, massage, stretching, and movement exercises which have already had a massive impact on Howie's mobility.
We look forward to working further with them to help him get stronger!
It seems to be only the ducks and geese enjoying this weather. The fields are under water, the water table is saturated and our lakes have never been so high.
Please no more rain 🌧️ ☔️ it’s no longer a joke.
Princess and Rosa are warming up for today's fair where they'll be meeting lots of you at Kiss A Cow!
For just £3 you can come hang out with them, give them a nice fuss, and if you're feeling particularly affectionate, give them a little kiss too. If you're really lucky Princess might even kiss you back!
The fair is on 12-4pm today (Sunday) - free entry and parking as always 💚
SPECIAL HOME REQUIRED FOR A VERY SPECIAL CAT!
This is Steve, a super friendly cat who came in to us as a stray a couple of months ago. He had no use of his front left leg, which our vets thought was likely a birth deformity to do with his ligaments. His leg was removed four weeks ago and he has made an amazing recovery, adapting perfectly to only having three legs.
We’d love Steve to find his furever home now where he can shine and be the affectionate lovebug that he is. Steve is only young, between 3-5 years, and is neutered and microchipped and just starting his course of vaccinations now. Obviously it will need to be an indoor home, or one with a cat proofed garden or catio so that Steve is safe, so please don’t be offended if we don’t respond to people who can’t provide that. We also will not be responding to anyone questioning our vets’ decision to remove the leg.
Please message us if you’d like to offer this wonderful lad a home. Home check and adoption fee apply
Happy peafowl after the rains 🦚 ☀️

Why did the chicken cross the road? Because the sanctuary was on the other side of the road.

⭐️Meet the Animals⭐️
This meet the animals video is all about our beautiful Myrna, and in a way its a two for one, as we can’t tell our girl's story, without speaking about her incredible mother Fiona. Myrna lives with our main cow herd, being besties with the other boisterous teens of the group, and she is known for being very assertive, and independent, but she still loves a good cuddle! We hope you enjoy learning about her and her mother, and that their story touches you, as it has done for so many people before.
You can meet Myrna yourself by booking one of our tours, or by visiting us on our open days Thursdays to Sundays 12-4.
You can also sponsor Myrna through our website
