New Wallaby Enclosure HAO Sponsored Walk October and November 2024
At Animal School Lindsay and Tam looks after a hundred rescued animals and her team work with the council to provide SEN children therapy and animal based training. They also run educational animal clubs teaching young people how to work with animals.
In March Lindsay rescued Blossom an albino orphaned wallaby. Blossom was a specialist animal and Lindsay fed her milk every three hours and carried her about in a rucksack/pouch! She’s gotten so big now they needed to put a 6ft fence around the animal centre for her safety. They planned to build her a field shelter and fence off a couple of paddocks so they can rotate her grazing with 3 rescue sheep, a llama and 7 turkeys. The cost of materials was estimated at £3000 before labour. Healing Animals Organisation Diploma students, Liz, Lins and the pups walked the 6K hike up the Downs and back and raised and incredible £1,300.
Lindsay shared this with us:-
“Thank you so much for the fundraising sponsored walks in October and November and raising over £1,300 for my beautiful rescue wallaby Blossom. As always, I’m blown away by the support from Liz and her HAO students.
We have completed Blossom’s shelter which is a large space where she can be safe from bad weather and marked out territory for her field paddock. The 6ft fence is newly constructed and erected. It’s so lovely to know that she will be safe and well in the space and can enjoy the garden at animal school for many years to come.
Thank you Lindsay Animal School
