Jamie came to us from a free advert on Le Bon Coin. We were looking, as we often do, to check on the state of mind of people around us. We are always so disheartened that there are hundreds of animals being given away, just around here.

Pip faced the fate of many guinea pigs. He was a pet, unwanted by children and passed on for rehoming. He came from the UK.

Thank you for being one of ‘the best people’!
