**SANCTUARY UPDATE 25th MAY 2026**
How is everyone coping in this lovely heat? The huskies here are definitely fed up already!! π₯΅
As you all know I've had some time off from the rescue to concentrate on other aspects of my life. I have been running Sasi Sanctuary single handedly from my home in Lancing for almost 5 years now whilst also working and caring for my 2 children. I have rescued and rehomed over 200 animals in that time.
Its been the most rewarding experience and I've loved every moment of it, the joy in pairing animals in need with their forever homes is something that I will never get from anything else, its honestly so fulfilling. There have been ups and downs but I feel i did the best job I could with what i had here β€οΈ
Soooo.... this is a very difficult decision for me to make but having a break has opened my eyes to how consumed I was by it all, both in terms of the financial aspect and the impact it has on my family, with people coming and going in our home and the time that caring for all the animals took me away from my children and restricted holidays and days out etc.
With this realisation I have decided that I am closing the rescue doors indefinitely πͺ This hasn't been an easy choice as the sanctuary has my heart and its been an amazing journey for me. I need to take some time to invest back into my family and get my finances back in order as I invested so much money into the sanctuary. I will still be offering animal transport and helping other rescues as well as dog walking and pet visits.
It definitely won't be forever and I still see myself with lots of land filled with animals in the future, its where my passion lies.
I want to thank each and every person that has adopted from me, visited, donated, shared and liked posts, recommend me and supported me through the most amazing 5 years. I will be back again some day and I hope you will rejoin me on the journey then. If you have adopted from me please continue to post on our adoption group so I can still see all your lovely furbabies πΎ
Much love to all living beings and thank you again, Sarah πβ€οΈ
