We are heartbroken to lose yet another fox to netting.

It’s unclear how long this poor fox had been trapped, but the swelling in his front legs and maggots in the wounds on his back legs suggest several days.

We did everything we could: removed the maggots, warmed and massaged his cold, swollen legs, treated the wounds, and provided fluids, heat, pain relief, and antibiotics. Unfortunately, his heart had suffered too much strain, and he passed away overnight, likely from cardiac failure related to the stress of the situation.

This didn’t need to happen. Two minutes to roll up or pack away the netting could have prevented his suffering.

Please share his story to help educate others about the dangers ALL NETS pose to ALL ANIMALS, domestic and wild.

**IMPORTANT**

❗PLEASE SHARE THIS POST - Carbon has escaped his cat carrier when he was in our car park. He was last seen near the Metals Company on Bishop Meadow Road.

He's very much a standard short haired black cat with a tiny bit of white fur at the bottom of his neck at the front.
He's quite timid around humans but is quite food orientated.

If you have any sightings please do not approach call us and keep monitoring until his owner is able to arrive.❗

REHOMED - Pixy is a 4yr old small Doberman female (only 23kg), she is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, flea and worm treated and has a clean bill of health. She will be rehomed with 5 weeks free pet insurance.

Pixy came to us recently from the Met Police where she had been under their care for 2yrs as part of a welfare case, she had done nothing wrong but had been seized alongside many other dogs in a large case where they were living in terrible conditions and used for breeding. She has received great care though and it's now her time to find her forever home after a conviction was secured.

Pixy has settled into home life with us brilliantly, she can be a little worried with new situations, not surprisingly, but she soon settles and her personality shines through, she is a sweet, loving, tactile girl who is enjoying plenty of attention but will also settle well in her own space and is particularly enjoying having the comforts of a sofa.

Pixy is very good with other dogs, she has always lived around lots and joined our large pack with ease. She is super playful and can be a little intense with some of the dogs who tell her off, most of the time she will accept the telling off but in typical dobe style she has at times given back as good as she gets so WE ARE SEEKING A HOME WITH ANOTHER YOUNG, PLAYFUL, NEUTERED, MEDIUM TO LARGE BREED DOG FOR HER TO PLAY WITH. This is not negotiable, she needs another dog in her home, preferably you will be doberman (or similar) experienced.

Pixy is house trained, well behaved in the home although she does like to try and steal things left on the side so put your remote controls away!, she sleeps totally quietly downstairs at night with the other dogs and has no separation anxiety. She has no possession issues with either food or toys and is fed alongside other dogs with no concerns. She knows "sit" and will take treats gently.

Pixy walks ok on the lead and travels ok in the car, she was nervous but fine with the vets recently.

She will need a home with a good sized secure garden who can provide her with the exercise a young dog like her needs, she loves running around our paddock with the other dogs. She has been great around our equines and livestock and doesn't really take any notice of them, we haven't been able to test her around cats or children, we don't have any concerns about her temperament though so any resident children would need to be 8yrs and over, younger visitors would be fine.

Being fostered in Swadlincote, Derby's but can be rehomed further afield subject to home check and adoption donation of £350

If you can offer this stunning young lady her forever home please email us telling us all about your home offer including your FULL ADDRESS AND CONTACT NUMBER to [email protected]

DO NOT LEAVE PUMPKINS OUT FOR WILDLIFE!

After the festivities of halloween, there are many leftover pumpkins! Please DO NOT leave these pumpkins outside for wildlife. Pumpkins are not a natural food source for many wildlife and can cause wild animals to become very poorly with upset stomachs if they eat them. This can be fatal for many creatures.

What could you do instead?
🎃 contact your local farm park or zoo who may be able to use the pumpkins for the animals there

🎃 compost your pumpkins

🎃 bake a pumpkin pie or make soup

🎃 dispose of your pumpkin in a food waste bin

Thank you
