Sanctuary and rescue for horses, farm animals, cats and dogs, Carmarthenshire 

Animals in special need

Most animals at Trallwm Farm are hoping to find a new permanent home.  Sadly for some that will not happen because of the trauma they have already suffered.  We have a few animals who we know will live out their time with us in surroundings they have come to relax in, with people they have taken a long time to bond with and to ask them to do that again is too much. 

The following animals are permanent residents who have come to us in terrible circumstances and have been rehabilitated with time and love but some will bear the physical and mental scars of human cruelty for ever.  These animals need your help.  You can make a specific donation for an animal that you feel strongly for by clicking the donation link next to it.  This will buy them extra treats, new equipment and help free up money to help new rescues, there is always a list of more animals with ever more tragic stories needing the next space.

	Dandini	Dan is a lovely old gentleman.  Now aged about 24 he was abandoned at age 17 tied to a stake that had pierced his chest.  He always had eye problems but coped out on loan for a while.  His eye has probably been pierced at some point in his past, what sort of life must this poor boy have had.  He stays with us now but has very limited vision.  In surroundings he knows he copes very well but it wouldn't be fair to move him.  Because of his worsening eye condition, he needs constant drops and cream treatment. Dan is a very gentle horse, amazing when you think how badly he was treated before being rescued.  Can you help us to keep helping Dandini and give him his treatment indefinitely.	Donate here for Dan
	Willow	Willow is an Arab who ended up in difficult circumstances. Given up by breeders who had no further use for her.  How sad at 26 years old to be not wanted. On the day she arrived our official haulier was very concerned about her.  She was so underweight we weren't sure she would survive. We are trying to get weight on her but as she is very old really its a case of maintenance only but she is now a happy and bouncy girl who enjoys her food. Trallwm Farm will probably be her last home unless someone is kind enough to offer grazing.  Willow struggled to understand that humans had anything to give her both food wise and emotionally.  She has slowly made friends and she is constantly supervised to make sure she eats and is healthy.  How lovely she actually seeks us out now and enjoys a few treats and attention!  She is likely to live out her time with us.

	Persia	Is another thin Arab aged about 21 again unwanted after serving a purpose sadly, but one that can go on to have a life. He is lovely natured and best friends with Ferguson who is one of our eldest horses. He has a bit of a sweet tooth and loves doughnuts. Persia will live out his years here unless a home comes forward for him that could offer very special attention.  He is a kind old gentleman that loves looking in the house doorway to see what scraps there may be for him.  Like all the oldies he needs good feed to keep weight on and keep him warm in the bad weather.  He would share his doughnuts with Willow if they get any special donations!

picture soon	Chorus	An ex racehorse with a broken pelvis, poor Chorus is 20 and has an odd walk!  Once successful and therefore earning money, he then wasn't worth much after injury and so was dumped.  A bit of a character, he can be a devil and leads the oldies into trouble!  He will soon need some pain relief etc for the long standing injury but he has coped well for an old boy.  Chorus loves attention and likes to be the centre of attention but has to listen to Ferguson the oldest boy who tries hard to keep him in line.

	Fern	Can you believe a cow was living on land behind Tesco's in Swansea in filthy conditions up to her chest. She was covered in ringworm and quite ill. We brought her home to be with our small herd of Jerseys and I contacted her breeder who had given her to someone who later said she had died before selling her on. After this we took all newborn calves from the same breeder to ensure they didn't end up somewhere like Fern did so she now has lots of cousins and relatives living with us too.  How lucky for Fern someone spotted her and asked for our help or she would be dead.  How sad breeders would sell to bad homes.  Fern was very frightened at first and didn't believe we were here to help and she had to put up with a lot of horrible treatment to make her better.  These days she helps with new youngsters by mothering them and showing them that humans can be kind too.  We expect Fern to live her life here as asking her to do all this again would be unfair.
