CHRISTMAS PRESS RELEASE

The strain on animal rescues over the last two years has been unprecedented. All over the country rescues are full and sadly turning away many animals who need a space.    Our plans to expand the sanctuary at Little Lions Farm have been refused causing great sadness to us and our supporters, who had hoped to save many more animals. We will continue our work at Helen’s House in Magna Road and just hope that another property comes along which isn’t  under Dorset Council’s remit so our plans would be looked at more positively.

At Christmas more requests to take dogs come in than any other time of the year.   And this Christmas is no exception.    However, we are normally buoyed by the generosity of the public with gifts of food and treats for all those in our care – except sadly  this year there are only a few kind people ringing our door bell with donations.    A measure of the times maybe, when so many have little to spare.
