   Thornberry is a medium sized animal sanctuary that operates a NO-KILL policy. This means that we do not put any animal to sleep unless it has been advised by a vet that due to medical reasons, it is kinder to do so. All animals taken in by Thornberry are always given a fighting chance; animals that are turned away elsewhere often find a home at Thornberry.We are dedicated to animal welfare and regularly arrange for schools and childrens clubs to visit for the day to promote our work and hopefully encourage our younger generation to follow in our footsteps. We operate a micro chipping scheme and all our animals are micro chipped to ease reunification should they become lost. We now have quite a few trained microchip implanters who can microchip your pet for just 15.00 each. We have a scanner and all animals brought to us are immediately scanned to check for a micro chip and we have successfully reunited lost pets with their owners on numerous occasions. Our funding comes solely from donations, and a lot of the work carried out by volunteers. However because the sanctuary has had to expand so much in recent years, just to keep up with the constant demand to shelter so many neglected and mistreated animals, it has become necessary to employ some staff to ensure constant care for the animals 365 days a year. These staff must be experienced in animal welfare, and like everyone else they need a wage, albeit small, to survive. While we have tried not to make the following pages too graphic, you may find some of them upsetting and may not wish to read them all. Being animal lovers we often found while working on these pages we had to compose ourselves before we could carry on. It shocks us to read about some of the horrible events that can happen in this world to gods animals, especially when it's due to another one of gods animals, MAN! Luckily though, we are not all animals, many of us respect and care for gods creatures, and because of this we feel the joy and happiness that they bring. Please note this is the only official Thornberry website and is run by Thornberry Management Committee. |
