Welcome to Thornberry Animal Sanctuary's web site.

Thornberry is a small independent sanctuary that has been taking care of abandoned and neglected animals in the South Yorkshire region since 1988. We pride ourselves on our NO-KILL policy, which means that the animals in our care stay with us for as long as it takes to find them their forever homes.

We are dedicated to animal welfare and committed to being actively involved with local schools and community groups to encourage and inform, often through mutual visits, which can lead to firm friendship and support on lots of different levels from volunteering to fundraising to sponsorship and beyond.

Our funding comes solely from public donations and we hold weekly bric-a-brac sales to maintain our high standard of care and quality.  Donations for these sales and for our Ebay shop, are always welcome. We also have an excellent weekend cafe, where families can enjoy a full meal or just a snack and both provide a pleasant environment to pass the time of day in. We also hold a lot of events on site to boost our funds: check out the news and events page for information. Periodically, you will find some of us in a city centre near you having a collection, so please come up and say hello.  

Thornberry offers support, compassion and understanding and will continue to do so, for while there are animals in need, Thornberrys' gates will always be open for them.

Please note this is the only official Thornberry website and is run by Thornberry Management Committee.
