March 2010

We would like to thank a vegan woman who is kindly running the annual Bristol 10km to raise funds for the sanctuary. We thank her greatly for being so considerate towards the cause. If you would like to sponsor her run to raise funds, please get in touch with the sanctuary on "sanctuary@brook-farm.org.uk". Many thanks to the online website for animal friendly clothing - "Ethical Wares" for donating suitable shoes for the run.

This months success story is our new friend Bobby, the two week old lamb. Found lying in the snow by a man when his car was stuck in the icy weather, Bobby is now living with us, being fed reguarly on ewe-milk-replacer and sleeping in the sanctuary farm house. We don't know why or how he got to be at the side of a busy road, but he is developing at a healthy rate and is enjoying his life at Brook Farm.

We have also received two lovely chincillas in the past week. Bibby and Rinty are brother and sister, and came to us after the owners no longer wished to keep them. Bibby (male) has been castrated and the chincillas will be up for rehoming to a home with a large chincilla house and equipment. The two must be rehomed together.

We would like to thank Mars for donating several crate loads of dog and cat food. We have shared the genorous donation with another local animal rescue, and the food will feed our dogs, cats, and chickens for many weeks. Many thanks.

Would you like to volunteer for Brook Farm??
Can you help us on weekdays? We'd appreciate it if anyone can, especially people who can help with horses. Anybody considering volunteering some time for us must be well experience in handling animals and must have some training in animal care. Thank you.

Remember our Ebay site, where you can pick up a bargain, and help the sanctuary.

STABLE APPEAL

This year, with the rising costs of veterinary services and animal treatments, we are appealing for donations to help towards the sanctuary purchasing a log cabin in which to place our own veterinary surgery. Currently, we are operating on our animals in a surgery that is not purpose built, and is therefore unsuitable for weekly medical sessions. Our very kind and helpful veterinary surgeon assists us routinely, castrating and spaying our animals to ensure that the rising numbers of unwanted animals does not continue. Our surgeon also aids us in life-saving operations for animals that have been kpet in poor healthor have been neglected..

The cost of this log cabin will be roughly £15,000. Although we have equipment ready to use, the cabin will be purpose built for this use, and will need to be fitted out with the best in surgical features. The cabin will also house recovering animals and injured wild life. We help so many animals with our life-saving work, but we know that we can do so much more. Please consider donating (using the above PayPal link), as the animals really do need your help. Thank You.
