The aims of the ABC Animal Sanctuary are to rescue abandoned animals and animals in distress. Upon arrival they are quarantined so as not to spread disease to the others, wormed and neutered when necessary. The animals are then restored to health and rehabilitated if possible before looking for a new home. In some instances when the animals are very old or need permanent special diets or have personality disorders they are guaranteed a home with us for the rest of their life.
Alexandra Bastedo, the founder of the ABC Animal Sanctuary, is passionate about animal welfare. She is a Patron of Compassion in World Farming, Wild-life Aid, The Animal Welfare Trust, Greyhounds in Need and Naturewatch. She is also President of Chichester Cat and Rabbit Rescue, Vice President of the Brent Lodge Bird Hospital and Patron of Paws Animal Rescue, Findon and Cat Rescue , Gibraltar. Alexandra resigned as President of her local R.S.P.C.A Branch, Mount Noddy, as she felt she wanted to devote more time to our own expanding rescue operation.
Alexandra Bastedo has run an animal sanctuary for nearly 30 years. Her first animal rescue was a donkey, and our sanctuary is now home to unwanted donkeys, ponies, miniature shetlands, cats, pigs, poultry and wild birds. Since moving out of the flood plain near Chichester five years ago and buying a small house with a much bigger acreage for the animals on a hill at Pulborough in West Sussex, the numbers at the sanctuary have increased four-fold, and the abc Animal Sanctuary now houses over 150 creatures.
