What a wonderful surprise 🥕🍏🍎🍐A massive thank you to Barbara for this very generous mega size delivery of fruit and vegetables for our animals, they are all thoroughly enjoying chomping their way though their gift! We are so grateful and really appreciate your kindness and support of our sanctuary 💚
“Finni” our ‘main man’ 😆 was happy to welcome the 2nd Jersey Greve d’azette Cubs and Beavers to the sanctuary to meet some of our beautiful animals and learn a little bit about what we do and how to care for animals, the children were very enthusiastic and had lots of questions. We hope everyone enjoyed their visit and thank you very much for the fruit and vegetables which went down a treat! 💚 🐑 🐐 🐓 🦆 🦃 🐄 🐖 🐴

Happy Valentine’s Day from Finni and Friends ❤️💚❤️
The “big man” Boris 🐖 is feeling quite smug! He is well known for his incredibly sweet tooth and penchant for mangos 🥭 and after being a little poorly recently we have perhaps given way a little too much to his specific meal time demands 😆 he’s now milking it for all it’s worth! Words got out and as a result tonight he has been very spoilt with some sweet Persimmons, obviously “Sir” approves of these 😂 A big thank you to Anna for sending these up as a surprise treat for the world’s fussiest pig! he has thoroughly enjoyed them x 💚
The animals and volunteers at Finni’s Ark sanctuary would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas on this rainy morning (not everyone was willing to get out of bed for a pic 😂! Thank you to everyone who has bought our residents Christmas gifts from our wishlist. Your support and kindness is very much appreciated! 🎄🐐🦆🐄🐰🦃🐈⬛🐓🐑🐷
Everyone is keen to come in tonight after the miserable weather. Love how they all spilt up to go to their own beds 💕Some of our eagle eyed supporters might notice the absence of Mickey 🐐, there’s always going to be one that sneaks out early to get a head start on dinner! 🤣
⭐️Barry Update⭐️
After 8 weeks confined to a stable and small outside pen following his leg surgery, Barry is super excited to have recently been given the go ahead to rejoin his pals. It’s taken time, patience, hard work and been quite a worry but it has all been so worthwhile and we are all over the moon with the successful outcome. Massive thanks to Ro (and team) at Island Equine Vets for identifying the issue and how best to resolve it, plus pre and post operative X-rays and care, Peter Haworth at New Era Veterinary Hospital (and team) for his skill in carrying out this delicate surgery and thank you so much to each and everyone of you that contributed towards Barry’s surgery costs and have been a part of his journey to be able to live a happy and pain free life. We are very grateful for the kindness and support given to Finni’s Ark animal sanctuary. Hope you enjoy this little video from Barry’s first diagnosis through to the much bigger, stronger and most importantly pain free goat that he is today 💚🐐
🐐Barry Update 🐐
For those of you following Barry’s story we now have a provisional date of the 15th August booked in for his operation. We are both excited and nervous about this as to see him pain free and comfortable will be amazing but at the same time like any surgery it will come with it’s risks.
Below is a little video of Barry and the way he walks, it’s currently very uncomfortable and will only get worse over time. This surgery will remove his pain. His knee will be fused so he will always walk in a odd fashion but will no longer be uncomfortable with it and will be able to lead a normal life.
Once again we would like to thank all our supporters so far who have kindly and generously donated to help Barry. We are so grateful and overwhelmed to have currently reached nearly 2 thirds of our goal! he’s a very special goat!
