Two very rare things....getting to sit down and sunshine 🤣

Midnight isn't as small and light as she once was though, those pointy wee hooves were quite sore 😅 But when you're getting to sit down and enjoy the sun there's no complaining here! 🥰

Looking good and doesn’t he know it!

Introducing the first of our amazing April charities: Ananda Animal Sanctuary!

For the geese we couldn't say no to the genius that is Goose Willis (blue eyes) and Ryan Gosling 🪿

And for the ducks, we have Little Foot, Ducky, Petrie and Spike...who didn't love The Land Before Time as a kid! 🦆

Thanks Kirsty and Iain for the awesome suggestions 🙌💚

We need your help with names for our new clan members 💚🙏🏽

All boys, 4 ducks and two geese 🪿🦆

The larger goose has the most beautiful blue eyes and is the fierce protector of his pal who's sadly blind.

The call ducks are so tiny and timid and have some beautiful green feathers like Kelpie.

Let us know your name suggestions below. We can't wait to hear them ☺️

⭐ Volunteer of the Month goes to Emile for March! 🙌

She's been working so hard in the final stretch of her PhD and has not only kept up coming to the sanctuary and helping all the animals, she's even done extra shifts!!
There's no stopping her, only Midnight can slow her down by climbing on her back 🤣

Thanks for all your hard work Emile! We're lucky to have you 🙏🏽💚

You've heard of micro pigs.....but another big problem are 'stretch goats'! Like sausage dogs people want to come up with weirder and weirder breeds. They really struggle to manoeuvre in and out of shelters as you can see and take up a lot of space at the sanctuary! We've named this one Totansel.....can you guess why? 🤣

Discount promo codes are giving away 20% of their profit in April and we've been selected as a contender. But to win we need your votes 🙏🏽

It's free to vote (you can do it on their homepage) and with all the new rescues we've taken in this month we could really use the boost in funds 🙏🏽

Please share as much as you can, we're a small charity and less known probably than the other two larger charities so we need your help to get the word out there 💚

Aaaaand we're back! 🙌 The geese are settled in their bed, probably still thinking we're evil kidnappers but hopefully they'll see tomorrow how good life will be now and have a new buddy....possibly the three musketeers 💚

On our way back from England with a packed car...in a Micra of all cars 😅

We'll update you more once back home, it's been a long day and still have a way to go. Just having a wee water break as it's getting a bit toasty in the car.

These poor animals have been rescued from a neglect case, a sanctuary if you can believe it!

Some coming to us and some going to Alexis at Karass...all about to start their amazing new lives 💚

Looks like we’re not the only ones that can appreciate a nice fluffy butt 😂💚

We've been thinking for a while now of a way to keep alive our family members that have fallen but will never be forgotten.

This page will be a tribute to all those beautiful souls that are no longer with us but they can continue to be a voice for their fellow animals and touching people's heart ❤️

Big thanks to volunteer Nicola for some of the lovely drawings of our family members we miss dearly 🙏🏼 Roisin also sketched a beautiful one of Reiny and Angel that we have on our wall ❤️

10/03/2024

I'm feeling rather defeated this mother's day after the sudden loss of Bramble, but all the other animals still need you so you've got to process those emotions quickly and compartmentalise so you can keep being mum to everyone else. I give all the animals here everything I've got, even when I'm not outside physically caring for them, I'm thinking about them, worrying about them, researching and questioning our protocols, wondering if I'm doing enough or could I do something better.

They're not just a part of my life, they are my life and although that brings so much stress and heartbreak, it's also the most rewarding job in the world 💚

Most of the animals here never got to know their real mum or only very briefly before being snatched away. I'm so honoured and proud to be their stand in mum and feel grateful everyday for the trust they place in me and the connection we share 🙏🏼

Happy Mother's Day to all the animal and human mums out there 😊

I'm a little lost for words and not sure how to say this but we've lost beautiful Bramble. We noticed something was up and had started some treatments today to get to the bottom of what was wrong but had no idea it was this serious as his vitals were all good. We had just popped back over a few minutes ago after leaving him for a just a couple hours, to check on him and to give him more electrolytes and probiotics but found him on the floor in his shelter. We're devastated 😞 Such a shock.

We're going to try arrange for a post mortem tomorrow so we can get some answers.

I'm so sorry Bramble, I wish I could have done more for you, you deserved a much longer life.

We thought we'd do things a bit differently this month (Feb) and have a wee friendly competition between the Ananda team shifts 😊

Each shift got timed to see who was the most efficient getting the morning/evening rounds done. With everyone running around trying to do everything super fast we thought we might have some fail videos to share with you but alas, they're all pros and smashed it! 💪

They all did amazingly well, it was pretty close but our Thursday team, Roisin, Erika and Amanda took the win! 🥳

Being a data scientist Roisin was super organised and came in with a spreadsheet, had it clearly labelled who was doing what and they work so well as a team, well oiled machine!

The spreadsheet sealed the deal, you just can't beat that kinda organisation! 🤓

Well done you three! What a team! ❤️

🐶 Dog In Need 🐶

Ralfie is a Ridgeback cross weimarana and turns 1 in April. His human sadly is not able to look after him due to health issues and a change in circumstances. He's getting frustrated as the owner isn't able to walk him/can't afford a dog walker.

He's house trained but isn't castrated yet, the owner will cover the cost of this if not done before rehoming . He is based in Carluke.

He will need an active home as has lots of energy!

Drop us a message if you can provide this boy a home and we'll put you in touch with the owner 💚

Clovers favourite thing is to surf the sheep 🤣

What is this!? 🌞 Could it be......SPRING!!!!??? 👀🤩

When one comes running up to you saying "help, she's bullying me" but you've seen the whole thing and know who started it 🤣

Clover 🍀 (because she was so lucky) has settled in well. Her gapeworm has been treated and she's now mixing with the mini flock at the stables during the day. She's looking a lot better in herself and getting some more colour in her comb ☺️

First day in the big paddock 😎 #babygoats #rescuegoats #animalsanctuary #farmsanctuary #adventure #friendsnotfood #vegan

Why did the chicken cross the road...? As the sanctuary mums car was approaching and she wanted a lift to her happy ever after 🥰🐔 Not the drive back from the shops I was expecting 😅 Luckiest chicken ever!

The only ones not having a crap time in this rubbish weather are the ducks 🦆😅 Here are the new arrivals from last week having their first explore of the bird paddock and a wee dip in the pond ☺️ #rescueducks #ducks #animalsanctuary #friendsnotfood #animalrescue

The geese are in their isolation enclosure for the next wee while, we'll complete health checks and let them gradually get to know the others. They did well their first night, eating and drinking which is always a good sign. Other birds that were rescued from this place previously were riddled with mites so we've treated them for that straight away. The goose that can see is being extremely protective of his blind pal so we're keeping our distance for now to avoid stressing them out and we'll build some trust slowly 🤞🏼💚

Chicks had their first few hours outside today in the isolated run at the stables. Now their feathers are coming through and they're a bit bigger we want to get them used to the outdoors where they'll eventually be living. For now it will just be a few hours a day built up to a full day and still sleeping in the house 🐥

It's what you've all been waiting for......🥁 Meet & Greet dates! 🙌🥳 We've been slow announcing available dates due to it being such a long wet winter and the ground hasn't had a chance to dry up yet. So we won't be doing any dates in April (other than private tours) but we have two dates in May to offer you 😊 Saturday 10.30-12pm 4th May Sunday 10.30-12pm 26th May To book, just get in touch via email or message with your name and group size. Meet & Greets are donation based, suggested donation is £10 per person. We hope to see you all soon and appreciate your patience waiting for MG dates 🙏🏽💚

We had the vet out today doing the routine copper bolus for all the goats and she gave us the news we've been anxiously waiting for....blood results from the lab! After Bramble died the vet who did the autopsy got a second opinion and was concerned he may have had MV; a fatal disease that's highly transmittable. We were beside ourselves at the thought of all our sheep having that fate. Although nobody was showing any symptoms it was possible one of the newer sheep could have brought it in so we had them all tested. It's been an excruciating two week wait, for us and the team awaiting the results, the only way to get through it was denial as I couldn't bare the thought of the bloods being positive. But today we got the news that all of them are negative!! 🥳🥳🥳🙌🙌🙌 I can't even put into words the joy and relief we are all feeling. The best news ever, feel we can breath again and a huge weight is lifted. We didn't want to share all this at the time and worry everyone unnecessarily, we wanted to wait until we had the results. But so over the moon to give you this news! 🥰🐑❤️

New arrivals today, 4 male call ducks 🦆 Sadly in springtime there is a lot of rehoming of male ducks and chickens due to hormonal fighting. It's therefore not the ideal time to introduce new members to the flock but when the alternative is that they'll be killed, we'll make it work and give them the happiest forever home 💚

Not as easy as it looks 😅

New arrivals yesterday from another irresponsible school hatching project 🐣 These projects are cruel, irresponsible and teaching children all the wrong lessons! Bringing a life into the world only to abandon them - not exactly teaching children compassion and responsibility! Aside from the fact these poor chicks have to be handled numerous times, passed around like an object, they are then sent back to the farmer if nobody adopts them and we all know what happens then. The females will be used for their eggs until they slow in production (around 18 months old) and then slaughtered and the males won't get to live anywhere near that long. Most male chicks born in the egg industry are slaughtered when just wee chicks. Best case scenario is they are allowed to mature a year or so and then sent to slaughter! Also, can you imagine the stress they must feel being born alone. Minutes old and there's no comfort and security from their mum. Then throw in excited screaming kids! It's disgraceful, irresponsible and such an out dated teaching 'tool'. Schools need to be stopped! There are so many resources now it's unnecessary. There are 3D models of the different stages, you could take them through that and make it interactive and then at the end of the project take them to an animal sanctuary! If you are a parent speak up and tell your child's school/nursery you don't want them doing this. There is a template letter I believe was made by an animal rights organisation, I'll find it and put it on our website so you can download and send to the school. 🙏🏼💚
