Welcome |
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 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, sheep, goats, 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 enormously and the ABC Animal Sanctuary is always full to capacity.
We also always try to help rehome other unwanted animals including dogs through our animal network if we are unable to take them in ourselves.

|
The sanctuary provides practical tuition and hands-on experience for students doing animal care courses, those taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award, and A-level science students planning careers in veterinary medicine.
Alexandra writes a regular blog which includes day-to-day information and stories about the animals. This blog is now exclusively available through a subscription to abcFriends.

|
Alexandra has also published 'The Healthy Dog Book' and 'The Healthy Cat Book', which are veterinary approved and is currently writing the sequel to the first volume of her autobiography "Beware Donkeys, Dobermanns and Ducks" called "Menagerie on the Move".
Visit our on-line shop for signed, author's copies of these now out-of print titles, as well as details of the "Poultry Matters" CD - an owners guide to the keeping of chickens co-written and co-presented by Alexandra. It was photographed by Geoff Mulligan (David Attenborough's cameraman) and directed by Patrick Garland, against a background of various animals at the sanctuary. |

|
We are entirely dependent on donations to keep the sanctuary running and to ensure its long-term future. All of the staff at the Sanctuary are volunteers, any donations go directly on animal care.
Please visit our shop which has our current range of animal adoptions including special offers.
Become an ABC Friend and have access to all of Alexandra's blogs, Pip's Diary and the serialisation of her best selling book - 'Beware Dobermanns, Donkeys and Ducks'.
