Willow is Leya’s daughter, so she has only known sanctuary life. She has had a blessed life. She is very close to her mum, but closer in fact to Neptune. She is very sure of herself and confident, very loving – she will walk into you to get your attention. Willow’s favourite pastime is playing and getting in the way of all the other animals, she is completely care-free! But she absolutely loves her uncle Neptune. You have our deepest gratitude for choosing to support our sanctuary and helping us to care for our precious residents. Thank you for being one of ‘the best people’!

Thank you for being one of…

Her favourite pastime is eating and her second favourite pastime…
