My name is Elle and I am the primary carer at our family run rescue sanctuary with many years' experience with rabbits and guinea pigs.
We run a strictly 'volunteer' cause and no one is paid to work with the animals. We offer a 'safe haven' for homeless, neglected, injured, abandoned, sick guinea pigs or rabbits or whose owners are no longer able to care for them (if adequate accommodation is available).
We GUARANTEE will will never euthanise an animal due to lack of re-homing opportunities. Euthanasia of an animal would only ever be a last resort on the recommendation of a veterinary professional due to medical reasons where the animal's quality of life is at a serious risk or where an animal is a serious health risk to other animals or the public.
We will provide a 'forever' home for any guinea pig or rabbit who we feel is not suitable for adoption and we reserve the right to determine whether a suitable home can be found.
We have a committed group of supporters who use our services through either fundraising, sponsorship, or our donation boarding service and wish to thank everyone associated with our sanctuary.
In return we offer a free advice & support service to our local community to bring awareness to the forefront of the care these treasured small animals require & awareness of the plight of hundreds or thousands of abandoned rabbits & guinea pigs every year.
We are a non-profit family run cause & any funds are resourced on the day-to-day running costs, veterinary fees, food, shelter (hutches, ferplast pens, hutch rain jackets, hutch huggers for the winter), medical and bathing utensils, toys, you name it they need it, and any other necessities the animals require. WE ARE NOT A REGISTERED CHARITY. We rely on help from animal lovers alike!
If you have any items you can donate such as towels, toys, tunnels, pet bedding or supplies these are always gratefully accepted with our thanks and will be most welcoming.
Recent government legislation do not recognise the boarding of small animals to require a licence for these services therefore they do not require monitoring by local councils. Catteries and Kennels, however, do require licensing.
