This is Sammy, our little Shih-Tzu.
Sammy is the oldest of our therapy animals and and has been bringing a lot of love, friendship and happiness to those in need of a cuddle for over 13 years. Despite his age, he still likes to play like a puppy and loves to make people smile by performing little tricks.
This is our gentle giant Gilligan, who is a fawn, four year old Irish Wolfhound. Gilligan likes nothing better than being stroked and cuddled. Gilly (for short) weighs 10st and stands at well over 6' tall when on his hind legs. But he only stands that tall on comand. He is best friends with our little Shih-Tzu, Sammy.
Little Maisy is our British Miniature Horse and stands at approx. 29" at the whithers. She is such a gentle soul and loves being brushed and stroked. She spends most days playing with her companion, Charlie, who is also a British Miniature Horse. Daisie is actually smaller than our Irish Wolfhounds..
Come and meet some of our animals
Our youngest therapy animal is a little 5 month old pygmy goat called Daisy-Mae. She loves being brushed and being hand fed. Her best friend is our male Alpaca, who is a gentle young boy called Toby. Daisy-Mae is full of character, love and a little naughtiness. She likes to play with our chickens.
This is Joan with our Pi, who is a very gentle Giant Continental rabbit. Pi loves to sit on your lap and loves having her thick soft coat being brushed or stroked. Pi lives with her best friend Stu, a lovely blue Giant Continental rabbit. Both of these girls are still young and still growing.
