Jimmy (Donkey)
In mid-2024 we were told about a young donkey called Jimmy who was in big trouble and needed help. He was suffering from painful hoof wall separation, sometimes called White Line Disease, a condition where the hoof wall detaches from the underlying structures. Untreated this condition can lead to death. Sadly, Jimmy had been suffering…
Bennett
In September 2024, sister sanctuary Happilly Heifer After (HHA) was contacted by a member of the public who, sadly, had a new born calf with a dislocated hip. This calf had been kicked by his mum, who was suffering from painful mastitis, whilst trying to feed. The person who had bred the little calf had…
Scooby
**UPDATE: Despite our best attempts to rescue Scooby we were unable to do so. With a team of volunteers, a veterinary surgeon experienced in the tranquilising large animals by dart gun, permission of the new land owners and a lot of hope we set out to get Scooy to safety. Unfortunately, Scooby just didn’t realise…

Marley (Bob)
My name is Marley (Bob) and I was born at a slaughterhouse on 3/10/2023. As per usual practice I was about to be “dispatched” by slaughterhouse workers when another man working at the facility (not in the kill facility) stepped in. He saved me from being killed at the day I was born. He took…
