Main building

Monkey House

Ont the roof of the building there is the monkey house, the cat house and several kennels which are used to house animals who have contagious diseases.

ABC birth control center

This building was built by donation from The Marchig Trust in Scotland. This is where the dogs are cared for after being sterilised before being re-released

Homer

This is my pal Homer, completely blind. Such a lovely dog, just loves his daily massage.

Blackie

This is Blackie, my beached whale lol! He loves having having his belly rubbed and will let you know when he wants it done.

The cattle sheds at the center

Pushkins afternoon nap

Ginger

Ginger was mauled by a dog and as a result can't walk properly. We thought she wasn't going to survive but she has proved us wrong. Although paralysed she gets about just fine and loves being cuddled.

I call this wee soul Bambi cos she looks like a wee deer. She is always trying to find really comfy places to lie. I found her in the bin in the treatment room !

Bambi

Asleep this time on the shelf in the office on top of my bag!

Hector

Hector was rescued by the center as he was being transported to the slaughterhouse. He had the price per kilo of his body weight painted onto his side.

Clementien with Pushkin

The founder of the center

Fred

This is my pal Fred, I think he looks like the bear that used to be in the Fox's Glacier mints advert. He is such a character, he's the one that tries to talk and will let you know when he wants some attention.
