(3)

A forever home to over 450 special needs rescue animals with nowhere else to go. A special place for all involved. 🩷 The Happy Pants Ranch is an independant, registered animal sanctuary charity and forever home to around 350 rescue animals, including goats, dogs, ferrets, pigs, emus, cats, cows, chickens, turkeys, ducks, sheep, terrapins, horses, snakes, a parrot and even a peacock! It’s a totally

donation-reliant charity, taking in special needs animals that have no where else to go usually because of medical or behavioural issues. At the sanctuary they get the love, care and rehabillitation they need. The Happy Pants Ranch is also a hub for people with mental health conditions and learning difficulties as a place where adults and children can come for free animal therapy and improving their wellbeing. Nobody comes here without getting some, of what we like to call, “Ranch Magic." The charity is run entirely by local volunteers and funded only by donations so community and public support is vital to keep the sanctuary going. People can help in lots of ways, from physical help volunteering with the animals care and upkeep to online support by sharing posts, fundraising and helping to raise awareness! For volunteering oppotunities, donation drop off point details, location address and more information please message the page. Thank you so much everyone for all your support! Amey (Ranch Manager, Founder, Volunteer and general animal nut!) and all Th Ranch Residents!

I just had a voicemail from a lovely man asking if The Ranch would appreciate a donation of surplus cat food and cat litter.

He said he’d looked into giving it to another animal charity but when he saw their CEO had pocketed £120,000 salary, he decided they didn’t need it..

Of course we said yes to the cat food donation, but it just got me thinking… just HOW much do some of the big charities pay their CEOs…

Well, according to the all-knowing Google, it’s a lot.
A rather staggering amount in most cases.

Makes you think doesn’t it…??




Ps. If any of these numbers are inaccurate, I apologise, it’s only what was found on the internet and is only meant as an illustrative guide to figures. You can visit companies house or the charities commission to see exact numbers.

⭐️ LAND Fundraiser / purchase / enforcement UPDATE ⭐️

🩵Hello Ranch Fans! As it’s a topic that naturally keeps arising, especially after the positive result of the recent noise abatement case, I’d like to clarify and update you all on the situation with the land that the charity is occupying.

🤍The Happy Pants Ranch is on the land by way of a zero-rent lease with the landowner as it has been for the past 5 years. That lease is due to expire within the next year and we have not yet been able to renegotiate a new lease with the landowner.

🧡There is also of course the enforcement notice that was issued by the Council requiring us to cease the use of the land for an animal sanctuary. The compliance period for that notice expired in September 2025, meaning that we would have been required to stop using the land as an animal sanctuary at that time. However, since the avian flu outbreak, APHA have imposed restrictions meaning that we cannot move animals from the land until the end of October 2026.

🩷So this is just to help try provide some clarity as to our status on the land, which is tenuous. A team of us are continuing to explore all options to remain on the land, as the charity has no other viable ways to relocate.

🤍As it no longer appears feasible for the Charity to purchase the land, having only managed to raise 6% of the total needed, we are reviewing how the funds raised can best be used in line with our legal obligations and to support the ongoing care of the animals and the Charity’s work. Thank you to each and every one of you who donated to the land purchase fundraiser and of course if any donor has questions or would prefer to discuss their donation, please message the page.

🩵Hopefully this makes things a little clearer and I will of course post any further updates as and when I can.

🧡But for now please hold on in there with us and continue to keep supporting the sanctuary through these tough times as you always do. It is SO very much appreciated as our hard work with the animals has to simply continue as normal.

🩷Lots of love,
Amey
