December 2024:
When looking for dogs to spay we found River. A old black baladi covered in tumours.
Even though it was unlikely she could have puppies, the thought of leaving her on the street was unimaginable so we picked her up anyway. The vet thinks River could be as old as fifteen. She only has two teeth in her mouth.
We weren’t sure she’d survive the surgery to remove her tumours, but she made it through, and due to her age and lack of being able to eat, we decided to keep her at the sanctuary. She couldn’t go back onto the street.
We hope to find her a home for her last years.
To sponsor River from just £5 per month, please get in touch.
March 2025:
River is ready to find a new home.






As River is scared of new surroundings and people she needs a quiet relaxing home to decompress and live her last years in peace
She is not aggressive when she is scared, she just curls up in a ball for safety. She just needs a human to love, trust and spoil her.
