Our fund raising appeal to raise £75,000 to fund 5 acres of land we recently purchased is going very well, we have now raised £14,000, this is amazing but we still have a way to go.

We use to rent the land, when it suddenly came up for sale we decided to buy it for the charities long term future. This unplanned purchased has had a huge financial impact on our ability to rescue animals. Can you help us recover with a donation?

Since buying the land, we have been tidying it up and replacing some of the collapsed fencing. We have some great plans to further improve the land and make it all secure for our animals, this will be planned as and when funds become available, we hope you can help us help more animals in need.

This adult male Roe deer was admitted recently following a road traffic accident and was taken to Vets for Pets Eastwood where he was gassed down, examined and treated before being released into our care. Since then we have been administering pain relief and antibiotics each day as well as treating his wounds.

He was admitted with half of his rear left leg missing, this is possibly an old injury or more likely a birth defect, not as a result of the RTA and as he was otherwise in very good condition, having three legs was obviously not hindering his chances of survival.

Once he had completed his treatment and the wounds had healed, it was time to let him go, he was successfully released in woods close to where he had his accident, we hope he will find his herd and live a full life, in the wild where he belongs.

Meet Kaleb, he is a super woolly Valais black nose sheep. Kaleb a pet sheep became lonely when his mate passed and so he has come to us to be with friends, like most animal species, they need to be with their own species and not live solitary lives.

Kaleb is already castrated, on arrival we trimmed his hooves, trimmed his wool so he could see better and wormed him, he will soon be vaccinated and out of quarantine and so he can join our herd of rescue sheep and goats all looking for a life-long home.

UPDATE - Successfully treated and Released 26/10/25

This adult male Roe deer was hit by a car and young lady who was driving by at the time and who previously volunteers with us, stopped to help. She managed to get the deer into her vehicle and took to the nearest vets. We'd like to think that the empathy and skill she demonstrated on that day, was somehow enhanced by her time volunteering with us.

After being gassed down at Vets for Pets Eastwood, he received a full assessment and treatment for his injuries. Later he was admitted into our care, where he will be monitored and continue to receive treatment for multiple wounds. Overtime with pain relief and antibiotics, we hope he should heal and be released.

Treating deer is not for the inexperienced and rarely does it result in a successful release. Now fully conscious and on the road to recovery he is very strong and unpredictable, we need to administer his treatment daily whilst not putting ourselves or him in any danger.

It's vital that we minimise human contact and give appropriate consideration to any handling as deer get extremely stressed and this itself often leads to "capture myopathy", a muscle disease that
causes death.

His chances are in the balance, but we will do everything we can to get him back into the wild.

We have miles of fencing to maintain. Today we learnt how to keep piggies in whilst fixing thier fencing, well actually we failed, the pigs escaped and the cows decided to look for food in the pig area 🙂.
