We are very sad to say that, after a short illness, dear old Tyson the retired guard dog is now with his beloved May. He had a long fulfilled life with us for 14 years, and was the longest-serving guard dog. After losing his beloved May, he retired down to the bungalow where he had a new lease of life and plenty of cuddles and love, along with the company of the other guard dogs. He will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him - especially the staff. We have had Tyson cremated and he is now back at the sanctuary where he belongs. God bless Old Boy.

Tilly came to the sanctuary as her owners could no longer keep her. Her owners found it hard and upsetting to cope with Tilly, who is profoundly deaf with a severe medical condition. Tilly was severely mal-nourished due to her condition and because of her deafness suffered behavioura problems. Since being at the sanctuary it has been found that Tilly has a pancreatic disorder which requires daily medication for the rest of her life, without it she will quickly become emaciated with constant, chronic diarrhoea. Behind the scenes at Thornberry we have many dedicated volunteers who look after sick and needy animals in their own homes and offer a life line to animals that cannot be rehomed. One such volunteer has dedicated her life to looking after Tilly, who, because of her behavioural problems and deafness cannot be left alone. The medical costs for Tilly are around £100 per month. Could you help us by offering sponsership for Tilly? For further information please contact Julie Brown or Linda Napper in the kennels. Thank you
