Now that we have your attention, we would like to remind you that animals are not just a Christmas present to be kept until the novelty wears off - they’re a commitment for the duration of their lives.

That face you pull when you’ve heard the same Christmas song on the radio for the 100th time. 😆

We're heartbroken to let you all know that we lost our wonderful Tilly yesterday. She lived a full and happy life and had been very poorly recently, and sadly it was time to let her go. She will leave a huge cat-shaped hole in all our hearts. 💔

Huge #happybirthday wishes to our amazing General Manager, Lianne. Hopefield wouldn't be Hopefield without her and she's adored by humans and animals alike. Thank you, Lianne, for always being awesome. 🎉

We've launched our #winter Campaign to help get us through the cold, difficult months to come. We're desperately trying to raise funds to beat the recent #budget which is set to make things harder for us come April. Please do share if you can!

The chilly winter days are here, and this pair of cuties have decided that the best way to keep warm is to snuggle up together. To help with the sanctuary's extra running costs during the cold months, please consider joining our £2 per month Save a Life Scheme.

Arthur the #shetlandpony underwent major emergency surgery last week for an internal obstruction but is recovering well like the little trooper he is. 😍

Little Tan is a bit of a sanctuary superstar with his easy nature and charming ways. He’s also one of the animals you can sponsor - and we happen to have a #blackfriday deal on all animal sponsorships right now!

Millie might have been born blind, but since coming to us as a lamb she’s known only love & safety, which means she’s flourished in our rescue flock. Thank you to all our supporters who help us to keep helping Millie and her friends. ❤️

Educating people about #animalwelfare is a big part of what we do here at Hopefield, and the exploitation of reindeer and other animals at Xmas is an annual sadness for us. Please do read and share our blog on just this...

Scar the rescue rabbit - one of our Lion King rabbits - is the sweetest natured bunny that ever there was. How anyone can dump an animal like they would their rubbish will never cease to baffle us.

Peaches has perfected the art of keeping warm in this blustery weather - she takes her bed with her when she ventures outside 😂
