The Sanctuary provides rehabilitation and care for around 200 animals, including horses, ponies, donkeys, goats, sheep and cats, and has been doing so since it was founded in 1983. As a result, the charity has created its 40th Anniversary Challenge this year to help raise awareness of the sheer number of animals being born to die. Details of the 40th Anniversary Challenge can be viewed at: donate.giveasyoulive.com/campaign/40-anniversary-challenge.

Sue Burton, founder of the Sanctuary says, “Our fun dog show always offers a new dimension to our Open Days and we look forward to welcoming our visitors to learn more about what we do here.

“Young and old always have such a great time. They get to meet our amazing animals and we give them an insight into our valuable work in a fun way.”
