New Arrivals At Nuzzlets

We have supported our friends at Nuzzlets for a number of years. Nuzzlets is a fantastic, grassroots charity that not only provides a loving home for unwanted animals, but also provides free access for young people with disabilities, special needs and life-threatening illnesses to visit the centre for animal assisted therapy and education.

We are so pleased to be working with Nuzzlets.  They are an amazing, caring and outstanding charity, that offers wonderful care and support to those who most need it.

What is Nuzzlets?

Nuzzlets started in 2002 after giving a loving home to three rescued ponies.  There, they learned to trust humans and bonds were forged between the animals and the team. This inspired Nuzzlets to give loving homes to unwanted animals. Today, they have approximately 100 animals in their care.

In 2017 Nuzzlets were given 68 animals and rehomed 53. 

So far this year Nuzzlets has been given rabbits, guinea pigs, hens and chicks, 15 kittens, an aged donkey (Josh) and a miniature Shetland with dwarfism (Thimble). Cue the ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhhs’.

How has Joules helped Nuzzlets?

Recently Joules bought a new classroom/stable for Nuzzlets, which was aptly named ‘The Joules House’.  The house has been constructed around a living tree, where visiting children can write their name or draw a picture on a colourful paper leaf, and then hang the leaf on the tree and make a wish. The walls of the house look amazing and currently show animals, dressed in scarves and ear muffs.

Some of the money raised by Joules was also put towards buying a small horse box, which means Nuzzlets can take the larger animals (goats, sheep, horses etc.) out on visits to Martin House Children’s Hospice and other venues.
