So many animals desperately looking for love ❤️

06/09/2024

We have a very unique volunteering opportunity down at the Wings & Paws Rescue Farm!
We're looking for confident, self sufficient animal lovers to help us out with the animals.
We're looking for someone a couple of mornings per week 8.30-9.30am ish start till around 1pm and someone a couple of evenings 4.30pm-6pm
You'll also be needed on 1 weekend day per week too.

You MUST have your own transport to get there (close to Perton, Wolverhampton).
You will be supervised and working alongside Matt our farm manager and Clare the CEO but must be able to work on your own when required - for this reason we're looking for someone who is 18+yrs old.

On the 'farm' we have Horses, Pigs, Sheep, Goats, Birds of Prey, Rabbits, Chickens, Ducks, Geese, Cats, Guinea Pigs, a Ferret - & you can expect more to come along at any time too!

We're looking for someone to carry out general farm duties, such as making up the hay/feed/water, cleaning our the smaller animals, mucking out the horses/larger animals and anything else that crops up.
We're flexible and open to suggestions (for example if you're horse mad, but don't like cats we could adapt the duties accordingly.

If you're an experienced horse rider then you are also welcome to ride the horses too, but you'll need your own Insurance to do this (Public Horse Liability - which costs around £4.50 per month) and you must be competent to do this on your own.

The farm is beautiful and the animals are all wonderful, they're all rescues so all have individual needs, but we'll explain everything in detail thoroughly.
However, when the weather is bad it's cold, it's wet, it's very muddy and sometimes it's not fun....... but it's very rewarding!
The animals will be relying on you, so if you are due to turn up, make sure you do because they need you!!!

We're after someone who can commit to this longer term, and not just for a few months. We're entrusting our animal's care into your hands - and believe us when we say we don't do this easily - so if you're picked... feel highly honoured!

If you'd like more information, or to have a chat, give us a message or email [email protected]

⚠️⚠️CANINE GASTROENTERITIS OUTBREAK WEST MIDLANDS⚠️⚠️

⚠️We have been made aware that there is Gastroenteritis sweeping the West Midlands area, particularly Coventry. This is a severe stomach bug with main symptoms being diarrhea, lethargic, not eating, vomitting.

⚠️To prevent your dog catching this, please avoid areas where many dogs will have been such as parks, vets, daycares and groomers. Be mindful of what your dog is sniffing and licking as Gastroenteritis is spread via urine, saliva and faeces.

⚠️Be aware of the consistency and frequency of your dogs poo 💩 A small amount of fresh bright red blood might be visible due to straining. If you suspect your dog may have gastroenteritis you will need to see a vet for probiotics and possibly IV fluids. Keep your dog at home to contain the spread. Wash hands thoroughly as well as anywhere they have been such as the car and home with disenfectant. Your dogs Toilet areas outdoors may also need sloshing down with disenfectant. Disenfect shoes that may have walked in areas that could be contaminated by other dogs.

⚠️Please be aware SOME strains of gastroenteritis can be zoonotic meaning they can spread between other species of animal including humans!

NB⚠️⚠️⚠️ WE WERE INFORMED BY A VETERINARY CENTRE WHO HAVE SEEN A HUGE WAVE OF CASES THIS WEEK! Not google.

It's the International Day of Charity, and we'd like to reintroduce ourselves!

👋 We're the Humane Research Trust, a UK charity fighting to end the use of animals in medical research

🎯 Our goal is a world where no animals or animal products are used to research human health

🔬 We do this through funding scientists to pioneer research that replaces the use of animal experiments and animal-derived research products

🔎 To date, we have invested over £12 million into research projects across the UK, in fields spanning from cancer research to neurology

We met this lovely boy on a recent visit to Lowveld Poultry Sanctuary ❤️

Nicholas Cage has something very important to tell you!
He’s appearing in an article in The Country Smallholder Magazine, in the October issue, which tells the amazing story of his rescue from a Commercial Egg Farm, and his new life at Lowveld.
The magazine is on sale from 12th September 😁❤️👍
