Our resident donkey Chocolate Muffin needs an operation to repair a shoulder joint to cure her arthritis. This operation will reduce her overall mobility but prolong her life by reducing the pain caused by the arthritis. The operation will be needed sometime during the next two years and we are therefore trying to raise money in advance in order that the operation can be carried out as soon as necessary.
We have now raised enough for the operation but still need some more funding for any treatment during recuperation. Any help would be appreciated.
The Shire foal Summer was re-homed to a site near Alresford and we have a new Shetland Pony named Bessie who is approximately 19 years old and in need of rest and recuperation after some difficult times. The staff at the Shelter will be doing their best to build up her strength until she is properly fit and well.
