At the heart of Last Chance Hotel is our sanctuary.
After years of struggling we finally got a 10 year lease on a farm near Truro in Cornwall. Our little haven at High View Farm, Chacewater, is 24 acres of fields and an old farm house.
We are constantly working on the sanctuary to become sustainable for all the lost souls that need somewhere to call home; from geese to ponies and sheep, ducks to goats, we endeavour to provide security and love to all.
We hope you enjoy watching LCH grow. Follow us on Facebook, we have a dedicated page for the Sanctuary.
On 20th September 2024, the LCH Trustees issued a statement regarding the costs of High View Farm operations and their impact on the charity as a whole (see our home page). We will keep you informed of developments on this website page and our Facebook pages. In the meantime, we are grateful for your continued support.

WILDLIFE
With much regret, we are no longer able to take in wildlife at the Sanctuary. As laid out in our Trustees' statement on the home page, operations at the Sanctuary are winding down due to increased costs and decreasing donations. We will still be aiding wildlife rescue behind the scenes, with our knowledge and contacts.
If you have a wildlife emergency, please call 01209 281159

Doods when he arrived into rescue

The mammoth shaving session

Meet Doods, the Puli who shed his dreads
Doods had spent years in kennels where the owners and staff did nothing. He was in a lot of pain; we couldn't stroke him or touch him it hurt so much, he was incredibly aggressive with it. We rushed him straight over to The Dog House groomers after some pain relief given, and KD shaved his fur right back. The knots were so bad it took a long time. His skin underneath was badly infected, with massive welts and cysts all over. It was oozing. As soon as we put him on the floor and took his muzzle off he was a different dog. Doods had learnt over the years that aggression kept people away and after 2 years he still carries that legacy when out of his comfort zone. Sometimes a dog is what he is, and no amount of training, etc will work. Doods is Doods and we are alright with that... we maintain his 'bubble' to keep him content. August 2019 Doods made his way to Rainbow Bridge in August 2024. Fly high, Doods. |
A good deal of construction work was carried out at the sanctuary once we had moved onto the site. Last Chance combined with Omni Build to get new shelters and other key facilities up and running for the numerous incomers, both domestic and wild. Here are two videos showing the amazing progress that was made.
