The Phoenix Pet and Wildlife Sanctuary
“Respect All Life”
The Phoenix Pet and Wildlife Sanctuary (formerly PAWS) is staffed by two dedicated people with over sixty combined years experience in animal care covering most species. The Sanctuary grew out of our concern over the rising tide of cruelty, and the vanishing hedgerows and countryside that is destroying the native habitats of our wildlife.

Sadly, in this enlightened 21st century, and in this nation of' animal lovers', organizations like ours are still a vital necessity. There is no official funding available, and so we depend on the generosity of the public, through donations, and purchase of our popular competition tickets and other merchandise, to enable us to continue our work (see details here). The food, housing, and veterinary requirements of our temporary and permanent residents amount to a considerable sum each week. We have urgent projects waiting, such as the installation of water facilities to our large animal paddock; plus longer term projects - a unit to rehabilitate birds of prey prior to release; a hospice unit for terminally ill and elderly animals still retaining a quality of life: specialized environmental habitats tailored to the requirements of reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals unable to be released back into the wild, enabling them to lead as natural a life as possible; and most important of all, our own land and property to secure a permanence for the Sanctuary and our future work, and also to allow us to open to the public, something our lease does not allow us to do at our present location. All these projects will require many thousands in extra funds to be raised. We also have an interest in setting up a Goat Rescue Trust to help these most intelligent of ruminants, many of whom suffer in appalling conditions.
We are currently home to around 120 assorted creatures including wild/domestic rabbits and birds, hares, chinchillas, fancy rats, gerbils, degus, ferrets, lizards, large spiders, goats and sheep, and a fox. We have an interest in the preservation of rare breeds and our successful rescues have included several very rare Castlemilk Moorit sheep and Golden Guernsey goats. The Phoenix Pet and Wildlife Sanctuary specialises in the use of alternative remedies alongside conventional veterinary care. All our residents are greatly respected and treated as 'family' members.
We urgently need your help to continue our work on behalf of the animals. Please consider making a donation today. Small or large, it will be greatly appreciated and will benefit animals. Please send cheque and postal order donations to the above address, and enclose a stamped addressed envelope if you would like acknowledgement of receipt. The Phoenix Pet and Wildlife Sanctuary promises never to swamp donators with repeated appeals.
We also operate an animal sponsor / adoption scheme, CLICK HERE for more details.
