sanctuary - Last Chance Hotel

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 is 14 acres of fields and a run down 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 ducks to goats, we endeavour to provide security and love to all.
We hope you enjoy watching LCH grow, and if you can, come and lend a hand...you will be more than welcome.

All well as our resident farm animals, horses and dogs, we also have lots of wildlife passing through the sanctuary. You can read about our bats, who we work so hard to rehabilitate and release here. Please follow our Facebook page for regular updates, pictures and videos.

We currently have lots of construction work going on at the sanctuary. Last Chance have combined with Omni Build to get new shelters and other key facilities up and running at the sanctuary.

The below video shows some new arrivals at the sanctuary...

Madamoiselle Bublè or Bubbles for short... her history is one of abuse, which we won't elaborate on. But she is safe now. She has a massive appetite, and is loving life now. Bubbles absolutely (and surprisingly) loves people... happy days now sweetheart!

May saw the arrival of Goose Willis the gander, a single handsome boy, who became lonely in his home after losing his girlfriend.

Womble, our first goat incumbent

William is Womble's partner in crime...

Chance was found tethered, no grass, no water, and broken.. So broken that he cannot be rehomed now but will always have a home here with love, care, and all he needs

Willow, Poppy and Timothy, who were no longer wanted at a school which teaches animal husbandry.

Meet KC. Very sad start in life Found being abused by ‘humans’ as a very young foal at a pony sale This abuse left him with permanent brain damage and understandably trust issues. He is also safe for life with us We work quietly with him and his semi feral fieldmate(also a moorland pony) Bracken, building trust and a gentle bond daily Quickly discovering they both have a taste for gingernut biscuits.

Bracken & KC enjoying some quiet handling

This chestnut lady is an unbelievable 35 years old. Rosie often shows us her feisty side, must be Roscoe her toyboy at a mere 18 years young keeping her looking her best. Here enjoying a mutual groom in the sun.

This little bat is a Brown Long Eared Bat, who came to us after being caught on fly paper. His rehab was very intensive and remained in the house for daily baths, pain relief and antibiotics. This little man was lucky to survive and be released, sadly most dont. Fly paper has all kinds of chemicals on it, and some is ingested by the bat.

Gem came to us this summer Sadly a leg injury as a youngster ended a potential riding career but she is settled as a happy companion to our lifers.

Our Sanctuary Dogs

Nessie is 7 this year (2020), she came to us via another rescue in 2017 who had placed her into a home who had overestimated their skills. We went to collect this little lady who was very volatile, she has a massive bite history and was reacting to the bad training she was getting in her foster home.. although Nessie is still unpredictable with those she doesn't know, her circle of friends gets bigger by the year. Now she has 5 friends who are allowed to stroke her.. Nessie will always be a lifer here.

Hennerz Macduffnut is 5 this year (2020) and been with us since 2017. Another problematic dog. Unpredictable, came from another rescue not geared up for these little biters... Hennerz is a tough cookie who adores the ladies ( unless he has something in his mouth) he will be a lifer here as he has an extensive bite history prior to landing here.

Doods is a Hungarian Puli. His full story is on 'Our Lifers' page, - click pic to go there.

Stooge will be 5 in April 2020. He was gifted to the charity to train as a Stooge dog. He takes his role very seriously, learning everything he knows from our resident Stooge dog, Lily.
