Adopt an Aspens Animal

Our site at Pembury used to be a farm and we do all we can to keep the farming spirit alive. Among the animals living here we have rabbits of all shapes and sizes, donkeys, chickens, guinea pigs and a large actual pig called Valerie, who rules the roost - though don't tell that to our resident rooster, who crows from sunrise to sunset every day to keep us alert!

The people who use our services love to look after the animals and we also welcome visits from the public, whether they be walking their dog on our unspoiled farmland or grabbing a coffee in the Bluebell Cafe.

Why not get involved by sponsoring an Aspens animal? You'll receive a certificate, your name will be on a plaque by their living quarters and, of course, you can come visit whenever you like!

Contact [email protected] to find out how you can adopt your own Aspens Animal.
