“Our American bull dog Princess is in need of surgery to fix her torn cruciate ligament which we hope to get done as soon as possible she’s currently on pain medication but desperately needs this procedure.

“Last week we removed a group of cats and kittens from a home where they were all extremely underweight and covered in fleas.

"Unfortunately one of the kittens had a very serious eye injury which was so badly damaged it needed emergency surgery and at only eight weeks old she had to have it removed.

“We are lucky to have such a dedicated team who have all been working extremely hard to help all of these new animals as well as looking after the current full sanctuary we have.

“Please support your local small rescues as it’s often us that helps when the larger well known charities say no!

"At the moment we are all feeling the strain of all the animals needing our help and the huge vets bills which will be coming.
