😍 A huge THANK YOU to Jollyes Norwich - The Pet People and their customers for yet another amazing food donation to Hallswood 😍

One of our fabulous transport volunteers (thanks Ashley! You’re a ⭐️) popped into Jollyes today to collect a bumper haul of their grain free Lifestage wet dog food, kind with some cat food as well.

A number of the Sanctuary dogs need grain free diets, so donations like this make a real difference 💜

Thanks again to Jollyes and their customers for all the support they give us and the animals.

Here’s a bit of fun!

Our two resident Peacocks go absolutely crazy for broccoli. It’s one of their favourite things! 🥦

Treats can form an important part of any animals enrichment, as well as their diet - but as with any sort of treat or snack, moderation is key. We don’t want any of our animals turning out like me; rather rotund! 😂

💜 ALL SORTED - big thanks to a fantastic local ferret keeper who has stepped in to help 💜

📣 Do you have a vasectomised Ferret hob? 📣

Bit of an odd one! We recently had four young Ferret jills surrendered into our care and all four have come into their first season 😩 and we need to bring them out of season for their health.

Does anyone have a vasectomised hob or plural of that aren’t currently with jills?

The hobs we have on site are two elderly to go through the operation to vasectomise them and now that the jill jab is discontinued (which we would use in the past), we’re in a tricky situation!

Any help would be HUGELY appreciated 💜

🌞 Some Friday fun and Amazon Wishlist update 🌞

Here’s a bit of fun for today - drawn by one of our very talented staff members 💜

I think anyone who works in animal rescue will be able to relate - we spend our lives getting covered in mud, fur and heck no what else! 😂

…and don’t get me started on the amount of mixed corn that gets lugged about every day! I think we must hold some sort of record for highest number of cockerels in one place - it’s over 140 and counting! 🐓

Which is a nice segue into letting you all know that we’ve updated our Amazon wishlist and would love it if you could check it out!

Our Amazon wishlist - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/21EQMUUY10AZO

Thanks to everyone who has bought from our Amazon wishlist before - it’s a big help and the animals definitely appreciate it!

🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU to Louise, Mark and the rest of the Goff Petroleum 🙏

Imagine the panic when the site staff realised the fuel for the generator (we don’t have mains electricity at the Sanctuary!) wasn’t going to arrive until after the Easter bank holiday - because some paperwork had been lost in the post - and by then we would have run out, meaning no electricity on site!

In steps the fabulous Louise at the Wymondham Goff branch who - in Lyz’s words - helped “a not technical menopausal stricken woman through the technology on the phone!” and arranged for the equally fabulous Mark to bring us our much needed fuel to the Sanctuary urgently.

Thank you so much to everyone involved - we all, very much including the animals, thank you for ensuring we have essential power to keep everyone happy, healthy and safe 💜

Side note - enjoy this gorgeous photo of Buzz the ferret having a little sun drenched afternoon snooze 💤

🐰 Rabbits are one of the most abused animals in the UK 🐰

It’s a sad fact that tens of thousands of rabbits are abandoned by their owners every year, or forced to live in tiny hutches for their entire lives.

If you’re thinking of owning rabbits here’s just a few things you need to know…

🥒 Can you spare a bag of vegetables this Easter? 🥒

A number of the big supermarkets are offering huge reductions on various vegetables at the moment.

We and the animals would be extremely grateful if you could buy us a bag of vegetables when you next go shopping :)

We can’t feed potatoes or spring onions to any of our animals, but everything else is very welcome!

If you’re able to drop them off at the Sanctuary in Stratton Strawless, that would be great - if not, they can be dropped off at the Sanctuary Pet Shop at the Dixon Centre in Hellesdon :).

💜 A massive thank you to the staff and customers of Wagtails pet shop limited in Aylsham for the £43.92 raised for the Sanctuary and its animals. You’re all fantastic! 🙂

Wagtails are one of a number of businesses across Norfolk that have collection tins in their shops for the Sanctuary and we can’t thank them enough for their support. Every penny definitely counts.

🐷 Fostering saves lives - Hattie’s story 🐷

Thank you to everyone that has shared their beautiful fostering and adoption stories with us over the recent days. We will be sharing as many as we can over the coming weeks and months 💜

So, without further ado, let me introduce you to Hattie the Pig 🐖

Hattie, like so many pigs, didn’t have a good start to life and had no real future ahead of her until an amazing lady called Andrea found her.

Hattie had a horrible infection in one of her legs and was running a high temperature.

Andrea and her partner Andy didn’t have to help her - they could have left her to her fate, but instead they saved her and reached out to Hallswood for help.

With careful treatment and a heck of a lot of love, Hattie went on to spend 6 months in Andrea and Andy’s care - where she ruled the roost and ran amok until she was too big and that’s when she flew their roost and came to live at the Sanctuary 🥰

Hattie is a much loved permanent resident at the Sanctuary and thanks to the selflessness of Andrea and Andy, she gets to live out her days in safety.

As you can see from the most recent (picture 3) of Hattie, she’s not one to say no to lots of fuss and attention, and particularly loves to have a good itch ne scratched - kindly supplied in abundance by Lyz!

Andrea and Andy have continued to foster various animals for the Sanctuary and thanks to them and our amazing team of home based fosters, we are able to help as many animals as possible - domestic, livestock and wild 💜

If you’re interested in fostering for the Sanctuary, keep an eye out for posts in the coming weeks for more information on how you can apply 🙂

We provide everything you need for your foster animal and you will change a life by opening up your home to such a rewarding experience.
