The lovely Fred has been resident at the Sanctuary since coming in with his close companion, Sankey, who was referred for radical veterinary treatment from one of our foster homes. Despite all our efforts we could not help Sankey and he was peacefully put to sleep.

Brian, my husband, and I were lucky enough to be accepted as volunteers for a couple of weeks at El Refugio del Burrito in Fuente de Piedra, Spain during September 2008. As we drove north from Malaga we wondered what we were letting ourselves in for but we needn't have worried! As soon as we entered the gates of El Rufugio we felt at home!
