The Alternative Sanctuary is a non-profit making organisation, which cares for abandoned and unwanted animals. We are a registered Charity (number 1111406) and always need sponsorship and support to help with the upkeep of the many residents. All of the money, raised or donated, goes toward the upkeep of the animals. None of the animals are ever put down, other than for humanitarian reasons. They stay here for life.
Special Appeal
The Alternative Sanctuary Needs Your Help! We have put together a list of items currently needed here at the sanctuary, should you be able to donate any of the items or make a cash donation toward the costs, it would be greatly appreciated. Even a few pounds - less than your monthly pet insurance costs - will be a big help.

APPEAL: Help us save 10,000 hens from slaughter!
Could you give a home to at least two rescue hens? They are NOT battery hens but sadly even free range hens only have a year to live, they are all due to be slaughtered unless sufficient homes can be found.
Please contact Tamara on 07818406619 if you can offer any of these hens a home.
Thank you
APPEAL: Can you make this Stars best year ever?!
Can you make Star´s 2011 his best year? He has spent the two years of his life locked out in a yard with no bed and not even a kennel. He was out in the freezing cold when the temperature was dropping to -15 degrees.
Despite his harsh treatment he is a lovely dog and has a good temperament with other dogs and people and has lived with children and cats. If you think you can give Star the home he deserves, please contact Tamara.
Thank you
APPEAL UPDATE: We have obtained grazing land!
Thank you for all your support, we have now obtained the grazing land! Now we need to get it securely fenced for the horses to use for the summer!
Please note: The sanctuary site is now based in Lincolnshire, there is only a collection point in Bedfordshire.

UPDATED 17th JANUARY 2010!
A Bit About Adoption.
Please bear in mind that rescuing an animal is NOT a way of getting an animal for free.
The animals here are animals who have already been badly let down by their previous owners.
If you are looking for an expensive, rare or unusual breed adoption is not a way to get them without having to pay for them. Animals for adoption are ‘in need’ they be old, ugly, ill, damaged by humans or just ‘common’!
They will give you a huge amount in return BUT you MUST want to help them and NOT be looking at what you can get out of them!
Important address information.
Please note the sanctuary's new address in Lincolnshire. With prior approval animals in the Bedfordshire area are welcome at the emergency reception centre located in Pepperstock. To contact us you can call us on 07818406619, email us at info@alternativesanctuary.co.uk or visit our contact page for more details.
Did you know you can make a donation in your will?
The sanctuary offers a ‘do it yourself’ will pack which enables you to write your own will. Once written you simply send it to the solicitor named in the pack to activate it.
Obviously wills are totally confidential documents. The solicitor's fee is currently £45 and so it is a relatively cheap and simple way of ensuring that your final wishes are carried out in the way you want. Please contact us for more information.
Many people die in testate (they have no will upon their passing) which sadly, means their money goes to the state!
Staffies are very sociable dogs!
Just to allay any fears that Staffordshire Bull Terriers cannot get on
with other dogs!!
