Johnny’s cancer treatment hasn’t worked as hoped, so our special boy will soon return to the vets for further treatment. Meanwhile, he’s safe, comfortable and being thoroughly spoilt at Hopefield.
Hopefield Animal Sanctuary is asking for your help this summer as we launch our first ever Summer Hay Appeal. The prolonged period of hot, dry weather has left our fields extremely parched, with very little grass available for our grazing animals. Our fields have taken such a battering that they simply haven’t had enough time to recover, meaning we are now having to provide additional hay to make sure our rescued animals have enough to eat.
For an animal sanctuary caring for hundreds of rescued animals, this is a significant and completely unexpected cost at an already challenging time of year. We are also increasingly concerned about the longer-term impact of the dry weather on hay and straw supplies. With demand expected to increase and supplies potentially becoming more limited, prices could rise considerably as we move towards the winter months.
Every bale of hay makes a difference.
With so many rescued horses, donkeys, cows, sheep, goats and other grazing animals relying on us, every donation will help us provide the food they need.
When you support Hopefield, you are helping a local animal sanctuary continue to provide lifelong care for animals who have nowhere else to go.
Whether you are able to make a donation, visit the sanctuary, sponsor an animal or simply share our appeal with friends and family, your support helps us continue caring for the animals who call Hopefield home.
Please donate to our Summer Hay Appeal if you can:

If you are unable to donate, sharing this appeal can make a huge difference too. The more people who see it, the more chance we have of reaching the support we need.
Please help us keep Hopefield’s rescued animals fed this summer — one bale at a time.
