We are almost through yet another busy month, this year is flying by with nights drawing in already.
August is a special month for us as it marks the anniversary of us becoming the first licensed sanctuary in Jersey for equines, poultry and livestock combined 🌟
This year is our 6️⃣th anniversary of “Finni’s Ark Animal Sanctuary” 🎉 🎊 however it’s no secret that we have been rescuing and rehoming animals for very many years prior to this but 2019 is when we achieved our goal of becoming a registered licensed sanctuary and named it after our head resident Finni (now aged 32!) 🐴
Over the years we have suffered highs and lows, sadly losing some very special residents along the way, but also celebrating a number of success stories including being able to achieve a pain free life for Barry.
We soon discovered that more animals would need our help than initially expected and as a result have been increasingly active throughout those years including being called upon to also provide rehabilitation and a home for life for additional other species along the way, when other rescues were unable to help due to various circumstances - these included our small furries, the parrots and Theo the tortoise who were all welcomed by us and very much loved, fitting in well with our other larger animals.
We have, and continue to remain committed to providing a safe, experienced forever home to those who need one most, regardless of breed, gender, behaviour or underlying health conditions.
We have also remained solely volunteer run by ourselves 365 days of each and every year. This ensures that every penny donated or raised goes directly towards the animals for feed, vets, health and care and it always will.
First and foremost we are an animal sanctuary, but are also proud to be able to share the joy and benefits that animals bring by providing therapy and educational visits to care homes, schools, associations. Not to forget our Duke of Edinburgh, trident and additional needs students.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal followers, supporters and those that have volunteered over the years, we are always extremely grateful for any contributions that help our animals.
We hope you all enjoy these pictures of some of our residents over the years. August will end like many other days here at the sanctuary with some new arrivals………….❓We are looking forward to introducing them soon 💚
