SAD DAY!!!!

We had to say good bye to Dizzie,today!  He was my baby!!!! He would have been 16yrs in june.

15+ yrs is along time to have a friend!!! I can only say thank you Dizzie!!!

A dog is for life!!!!

He will live on in our hearts forever !!!

WHY????

 You would think animal sanctuary on the gate, might make people think twice about taking something that isn't theirs!!!!  BUT NO!!!!!!

I went down the stables tonight to find some kind BEEEEEEEEP!!!!!  had walked away with the electric fencing box, it  links the fence to a battery which reminds the horses not to go through it !!

It is the only thing which stops the horses walking straight on to a main road!!!

Did these kind soles think of the safety of the horses!!! NO!!!!!!!! they took it anyway!!!!  

 It will cost £110 to replace and the only thing the police could say was.........

                                         "did you see who took it??"  

The reason they didn't take the battery was it weighs 40kgs, but if they could have I am sure they would have!!!!!  Low or what!!!!! I hope they fingers burn!!!!!

SPRING CLEANING.....OH NO !!!!

Sometimes you just have to smile, don't you??!!!

  Sheila and I were clearing up the blanket shed, towels,pillows,sheets,blankets and dog beds all in bags and we couldn't see what we had in there!!!! This will give you an idea how much stuff there is!!! We started at 11am and finished at 5pm!!!!!  We use so many blankets and towels!!!  

We opened a bag, the tag read........ clean sleeping bag.......... washed..// may 86"    We checked it twice, and yes it really does say may 1986"!!!!!!!   It has to be the oldest clean item ever!!!   Smile, we did!!!! You never know what you will find!!

Thanks Sheila, you are a star!!!!!

Hiya all,

We have had a busy weekend!!! The worst bit was finding Bertie, one of our little dogs in a really bad state!! He had to be rushed to the vets at 2.30am. Bertie, 13 year old terrier. Keith's sole mate  had had a heart attact!!!! We almost lost him!!!!! He is doing much better now . Bertie has a pile of pills for life, but as long as he is still with us, happy and full of it. We don't care how much it costs!!!! Vets bills!!!!!!!! never mind, what's money for, if not to spend on loved ones??????     

other news!!!

We have had alot of stuff coming in for the sale on the 23rd Feb @ Walcott Village Hall.

We still would love some more please!!!

Huge THANKS to the very kind person who sent us some towels and bedding!!! The p/office ripped the paper, so we have no idea who to write to, to say thank you!!!    

There are some great people out there !!!! We are lucky to meet lots of them!!!!! 

                                           Thank you all !!!!  

Bink,Jenna and Jess our saturday helpers did a 6 mile walk in aid of the animals on Tuesday!!!! They walked from Hallswood to Cawston, the long way. Hopefully they have raised a huge £100 !!!Well done and big thanks girls!!!  We are now looking in to replacing many of our cages as they are becoming very old!!! We build our own so they are ideal for the animals in mind!!!! If anyone could help with wood oddments or new/clean wire we would be very gratefull!!!

The good news is we have had lots of donations over the festive period of which we thank you for profusely, however as you can imagine running Hallswood is like painting the Humber bridge – never-ending!

Hello all

We have posted this on the local freecycle groups but are appealing to everyone here too!

Wondering if anyone can help, are in desperate need of oil filled electric radiators (preferably small, mobile ones but anything considered as its getting mighty chilly for those animals kept indoors!!!)  

Also we really need more small cages for keeping baby hedgehogs in, due to the mild weather many have been born late and wont survive hibernation so they get to stay with us instead!. Sorry but hamster cages are just too small, anything slightly bigger i.e. chinchilla cages are perfect really! 

Also, as always we can always use blankets, towels or anything that could be used for animal bedding.

 Anything you could think of that may help, please ask and we can let you know!

 Thank you!!!!

I would like to apologise for the lack of updates on the website. It’s been a busy few weeks as you can imagine but we strive to get everything on board once again ship shape and as up to date as possible on here as soon as possible!
