Following the Prime Minister’s press conference on Monday 16 March, with a heavy heart, we have taken the tough decision to close the Sanctuary to the public until further notice 😿 Our amazing team will continue working hard to care for all our furry residents and we think this closure will help keep everyone as…

In July 2019 Support Adoption for Pets very kindly awarded us a £10,000 grant to help towards our vet bills – which total almost £28,000 every year!!
