Early August...Our email is working again, which is helpful. Also, our chickens have been re-homed. As there were so many of them it took a large input of time and feed. Seven cockerels have arrived. The lady who brought them in was told that they were hens by the farmer. On discovering that they were cockerels, she gave them to us.
We have released two feral cats, who will live around the sanctuary. We will continue to feed them, as they cannot be homed. We've also got a pigeon with a broken wing and a hedgehog, neither of whom can be released yet. At the same time we are hand feeding a brood of three swallows who fell out of their nest. It's been quite a busy time, and has caused some dislocation. Fluffy and Max, the rottweilers had to be moved out of their pen for a while to accomodate the chickens. However, they're back home now, and on we go...
If there are any strong people who'd like to help out, we welcome volunteers, whatever hours you can put in. Also, we can engrave pet tags, for a donation.
Please keep looking out for any foie gras on sale. It would be nice to see the stuff banished from the county.
If anyone has unwanted printer cartridges and mobiles they wish to dispose of they can send them to the sanctuary, helping us to raise more funds. (Not Epson or Brother cartridges please, as they cannot be recycled.)
If you want to send us stamps to help our funds, please bear in mind that there should be no more than a centimetre of paper left around the stamp when you tear it off. This is because the stamps are valued by weight. Thanks if you've already contributed!
Also, If you find a sick or underweight hedgehog, please come round straight away, as time is critical in these cases. No need to ring, just come round.

Our thanks to Headstart for providing the hosting for this website.
Brook Farm Animal Sanctuary has been operating since summer 2005. In that time we have helped scores of animals but we are very aware there is so much more work to do. Part of our goal for the coming year is to convert some of our old farm buildings into useful homes for the animals. In particular we would like to dismantle a grain store and build a stable block to house sheep, cattle and horses.
The cost to remove this grainstore is £3000. If you can help us by contributing to this project it will make a big difference - every little helps. Please send cheques payable to Brook Farm Animal Sanctuary, or use the 'Make a donation' button at the top of this page. Thank you.
