FERNE Animal Sanctuary near Chard has relaunched its sponsorship packs to raise lifesaving funds for the care of unwanted or abandoned animals.

Sponsorship starts at just £3 a month and makes a big impact at the sanctuary, who work to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome farm and domestic animals.

With over 300 resident animals alongside many others who are patiently waiting for their forever homes, the small donation provides a lifeline to animals in need.

In each pack, sponsors receive a day pass to Ferne Animal Sanctuary, to experience the stunning 72-acre site.

Sponsors also receive a personalised certificate, their animal’s story, photographs, information about the animal’s life at Ferne and its resident friends, as well as seasonal postcards and a bookmark.

With the ability to sign up to receive updates on the sponsored animals, sponsors can hear about their chosen animal throughout the year, and even come and meet them one-on-one as an optional extra.

Every purchase ensures that animals in need can find safety, love, and kindness at Ferne Animal Sanctuary.

From those who have had a traumatic past, to those who have simply lost their home, each sponsorship is a gift to help provide animals with a second chance at a better life.

There are five sponsorship options – Billie the pig, Arnie the pony, Ken the rabbit, Oscar the cat, or one of the kennels at Ferne, to give a rescue dog somewhere warm and cosy to stay while they wait for their new home.
