Saving Animals Together since 1983

Hopefield Animal Sancutary break-in – AGAIN!

September 9, 2025

There’s been another sanctuary break-in which has left us heartbroken, scared and completely at a loss as to why people would do this to us.

Hopefield Animal Sanctuary has been broken into again.

Earlier this week, in the early hours of the morning, intruders forced their way through our brand new security fence – a fence paid for with your kind donations to help us protect the animals. Not only has this left us with yet more repairs to fund, but it feels like your generosity and our hard work have been stolen by these heartless individuals.

We are also deeply concerned for the safety and well-being of the animals in our care. Who knows where these intruders will stop when it comes to invading our property and peace. The thought of them being anywhere near our rescued animals is truly distressing.

If you live nearby, please check your CCTV, doorbell cameras, or if you saw anything suspicious last night, get in touch. If you recognise the people responsible, please let us or the authorities know. Every penny we raise is meant for the animals, not for repairing senseless damage. Thank you for standing with us – together we won’t let these lowlifes win.
