Introducing Elle





Elle is a grand old age of 28!


She has had an amazing life and has lived with her previous owner for most of her life!


Unfortunately the lady could no longer keep Elle and had the heartbreaking decision of re homing her.


We can't begin to imagine how hard this must have been for her as Elle was clearly a huge part of her life and she gave her everything. Luckily she found us and asked if we could take Elle on to spend the rest of her years out with us on the farm.


After meeting Elle we just couldn't resist.


We can't wait for you to be able to meet her but until we are allowed to open once again we will keep you updated.


We know that you will fall in love with her just as we have
