Bluetongue Appeal:

'Friends of the Animals' is supporting an animal sanctuary in Warwickshire, desperately in need of Bluetongue Vaccines for the 680 animals it has on site.  Most of these animals have been rescued from terrible circumstances, and in most cases an imminent death...

Animals such as "June", a Ewe who originally belonged to a farmer who failed to notice that she was suffering in agony with a fractured leg that was also severely lacerated.  When a visitor reported June's plight the farmer merely commented that "He would shoot her tomorrow".

Thankfully, this visitor informed the sanctuary owner, who travelled to the farm straight away and rescued her.  June now lives happily at the sanctuary with hundreds of other animals who have been given a new lease of life... a safe haven... sanctuary!

Bluetongue Disease could literally wipe out these happy lives - the only protection is vaccination.

Will YOU help save an animal by donating just 75p for a vaccine that will literally save a life?

Making a donation to save a life couldn't be easier!

We're Hopping Mad...

Did you know, we have re-homed over 5,500 animals?

This is something we're extremely proud of... but it does make us very sad that these animals should end up homeless in the first place.  The reasons for this differ greatly but there are far too many people who simply get bored of their pets and move on to something else.  Getting a pet, no matter what the size, is a decision that cannot be taken lightly, and we are appalled at the number of homeless animals suffering for this reason.

Rabbits are amongst the top in this list, often bought for a child who has lost interest, and now they sit in a dirty hutch at the bottom of the garden... forgotten.  We currently have many rabbits in the Isle of Wight in foster care absolutely desperate for a loving permanent home.

Do YOU think you could share your life with one of these wonderful animals?

This is "Desmond" (pictured with Kirsty), just one of our many rabbits looking for a new home...

Please see our Isle of Wight Re-homing Page for more information about "Desmond", and other rabbits in need of homes.
