Updates

We’re so happy to officially introduce the MoonAcre Seven – seven beautiful puppies who arrived at MoonAcre Sanctuary needing a safe place to grow, and who have already captured the hearts of everyone here.

But there is something especially meaningful about their names.

Rather than simply choosing names ourselves, we invited kind-hearted supporters to name a puppy by making a donation towards their care.

Every donation helps towards the many costs involved in raising a litter of puppies — including food, veterinary care, vaccinations, preventative treatments and the preparations they will eventually need before they can travel to their forever homes.

So each of these seven puppies now carries a name that was chosen by someone who has already played a small but very important part in their story.

Meet the seven…

Bonnie – Goose – Patrice – Rory – Sable – Sienna – Willow

Together, they are the MoonAcre Seven.

For the people who donated to name them, thank you!

And to everyone else supporting the MoonAcre Seven through donations, shares, applications and words of encouragement: thank you for being part of their journey.

Welcome to MoonAcre, Bonnie, Goose, Patrice, Rory, Sable, Sienna and Willow.

A week ago, we came across this beautiful mum on the side of the road in a village we didn’t know. She was lactating and clearly had puppies somewhere, but despite that, she clung to us and seemed desperate for help.

We couldn’t take her without knowing where her puppies were, so we had to leave her behind.

A week later, a photograph of the very same dog appeared on Facebook. There was an appeal for someone to help get her off the streets.

We immediately returned to the village.

And, incredibly, we found her.

A kind local family had been feeding her throughout her pregnancy, and she had given birth to her puppies beneath a bush in their garden.

There were seven surviving puppies – tiny babies no more than a couple of weeks old. 5 girls and 2 boys.

Mum and all seven puppies were brought safely to MoonAcre, where they can finally be warm, fed and protected.

Welcome to MoonAcre, little family.

As the sun began to set over the fields, Sergia, Arabella, Delgado, Sushi and Paris enjoyed one of their favourite parts of the day – an off-lead adventure with our wonderful volunteer dog walker Zwen.

The five friends came racing back through the trees at full speed, tails wagging and ears flapping.

We are incredibly grateful to Zwen and all of our volunteers who give their time, energy and love to the animals at MoonAcre. Their dedication transforms ordinary evenings into unforgettable adventures and helps our dog prepare for life with their future families.

We were delighted to welcome Emily from Love Paws Cy, who brought along her fantastic team of pet sitters to volunteer with us at MoonAcre Sanctuary.

The group spent the day getting involved across the sanctuary and made a huge difference to both our animals and our team. They walked a large number of our dogs, including some of our disabled dogs, ensuring they enjoyed exercise, enrichment and plenty of attention.
Their kindness and hard work extended throughout the sanctuary. The team helped make hay for the horses, spent time giving our equine residents well-deserved cuddles and affection, treated our pigs to some tasty snacks, and enjoyed some quieter moments with the cats in the cattery.
Volunteer support plays such an important role in helping us provide the highest standard of care to the animals at MoonAcre, and days like this remind us how fortunate we are to have such compassionate people supporting our mission.

A heartfelt thank you to Emily and everyone from Love Paws Cy for giving their time, energy and kindness to our animals. We are incredibly grateful and hope to welcome you all back again soon.
