Fonzi
A truly unique character. Friendly, sociable, loving and silly. Fonzi has resided at HULA for over 7 years and has never failed to amaze the staff and the public with his charms and stunts. Just like all goats Fonzi loves his food and will wander into Reception when he can to try out anything he can find - paper, plants, carrier bags - nothing is safe! A particular favourite is custard creams although he has to be careful as too many are not good for his teeth!Sapphire
Sapphire is just over 7 years-old and is a blue-coloured Shorthorn heifer who lives on HULA's Sanctuary with Steel our Channel Island (Guernsey) steer of the same age. Both were rescued by HULA when they were unclaimed strays at just over 3 months old. Their origins are steeped in mystery - apparently they were found wandering the streets of North London by a policeman!
Bazza the Goose
Bazza is a white Embden goose who came to HULA when he was just 17 weeks old. He is a superb guard goose - at his previous house he apparently had a penchant for postmen! We know Bazza is a bit of a rebel but he is only doing what comes naturally and is a real character.Shaun the Sheep
Shaun is a Suffolk Ram aged 9, who arrived at HULA in 2001. Suffolk Rams’ were first recorded in 1797 and they are distinguished by their black faces and stocky build and Shaun is no exception.Shaun really looks forward to visitors at the Sanctuary as he loves to be made a fuss of. Please come and visit him as often as you can, bring him an apple or a carrot and you’ll really brighten up his life!
Stumpy the Shetland Pony
Stumpy is the smallest of HULA's Shetland ponies measuring only 8.3 hands at the withers. She was born at HULA in 1987 from the original rescued ponies HULA took in when we first opened in 1976. All of our ponies, even though well cared for, lead fairly independent lives. Because they have had limited human contact they can sometimes be a little bit nervous at times, but Stumpy is the most confident one and she can be quite cheeky at times.
