Your gifts have given many abused, neglected and unwanted animals a wonderful time this Christmas and will continue to make thier lives more enjoyable until they find their forever homes. Your toys/bedding/snugglesafe gifts will continue to help animals in need for years to come so on behalf of those animals we say a massive thank you.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy and see where your presents go. Unfortunatly this year our camera broke so pictures are not of great quality or quantity. However keep an eye on this page as we have orderd a new camera so that we can continue to bring you lovely people pictures of our animals.

Dear secret Santa, I loved going through your presents to me. I got my Sister, Star to help and we sorted out who we thought would like some of the items you sent to me. We kept one of the garland toys and the cosy chair for our cage. We gave a lot of the other toys to the Birchwood group and thier babies. Mummy and Daddy said they didn't have a Santa of their own. Mummy and Daddy say its important to share our toys and food! Im not keen on sharing my food though! We gave the shavings to the bunnies as Mummy and Daddy put us on towels and fleece. The new bunnies loved the parcel and will be using the bedding this week.

Dear secret Santa, I loved opening up my present. I am rather shy so when I tried to open the parcel I gave myself a little fright when the bag rustled. Mummy opened it for me and showed me what was inside so that I would come out from on Daddys lap. I LOVED the grassy mat, it tastes so yummy! Thank you ever so much.

Dear secret Santa, I was so suprised when Mummy and Daddy said there was a present for me for Christmas! I couldn't wait to open it, it even had a piggy label with my name on it! It made me feel very special. I love the fleece, it's in my cage now, however the camera isn't working so Mummy will get pictures when the new one arrives and Daddy will put them on our very own website. Mummy loves the gloves, she said it will make cleaning the boy bits much more pleasent. We loved our dandelion treats so much that we gave one to Meg and Hope to try. We also gave one to Alice, Black Beauty and Bandicoot. They all loved them!

I told Mummy and Daddy to give Henry that blue parcel you sent. Thank you ever so much Santa.

As Henry has no teeth we broke up the popcorn sticks and put them in his food bowl for him to enjoy.

We also loved the card that you sent to Hazel. Thank you.

Dear secret Santa, I had a great time marking my present, however I wasn't keen on opening it so Daddy did this for me. Daddy got excited when he saw the Carlsberg packet! Mummy said to look inside and Daddy found a present addressed to me. Daddys face was rather funny. I loved the items you sent, especially the noisy balls. I decided it would be nice to give Tristan (one of the new Guinea Pigs into PPAR) the towels and fleece so he had a nice warm cosy place to sleep for Christmas. Mummy said he had never experienced this before. Thank you ever so much for giving me more things to hide and Tristan a warm blanket.

We nominated Cookie to open this present as she has been on her own in the rescue since she arrived. She does not get on with any other guineas but loves to look at them through the cage bars. The cosy is high enough that can she stand on it and peer in on the boys in the cage next to her. She has been caught sleeping on it a lot, hopefully we will be able to get a picture of it soon.

Thank you ever so much.

We nominated Blaze and her babies to open your parcel to the rescue, as she and her babies have had a tough time in their young lives. Blaze was one of the Birchwood girls who looked heavily pregnant on arrival. She kept the babies in for over a month from arrival. She gave birth to 4 small babies, one with several issues including very little use of her eyes. She loves the cosy and lap pads! Thank you ever so much for your parcel.

We loved opening this parcel, there was something for every species inside. Spooks enjoyed one of the cat food sachets, the rest have been put away incase we get any hedgehogs in during the snow spell. The rats enjoyed a couple of the tubes. Squeek the baby Guinea Pig enjoyed a tube too! The bunnys enjoyed the biscuits. Holly enjoyed the Holly leaves (Mummy didn't though! Shes allergic to parsley).

Hammer and Joe love the rope toy and jingle ball. Their favourite time to play with it is at 3am! I'm sorry there are not more pictures, we are waiting on another camera so hopefully more will be added soon.

Thank you ever so much Santa.

Penguin and Polar loved this parcel, now they can have their very own tunnel to play in. Unfortunatly they are not keen on having their pictures taken! We loved the card.

Thank you ever so much Santa.

Thank you ever so much to the sender of this parcel. Your parcel gave all the piggys and bunnys a very yummy treat. Some where too busy stuffing their faces to say thank you! We know they loved it loads so thank you ever so much.

Claire and Martin, your parcel was greatfully received. We had great fun going through the box after you came round. We had labelled all the gifts and packed it away, ready for Christmas day. However with some animals being rehomed and more coming in we spent Christmas day re-deciding who would like what lol. Maisie loved the tunnel and tent, she spent ages playing in them. One of the large groups of Birchwood girls enjoyed 3 of the tunnels. Cookie loves the fleece and the tube wrapping! We made it into another tunnel for her. The recent 4 baby bunnys received the large tunnel. The Hamsters and Rats loved the treats and wood chews as you can see. Ariel loves her grassy hut, but wont let us get pictures of her with it. Smash the Guinea Pig loves the hammock.

Thank you ever so much.

Everyone at PPAR had a fantastic Christmas because of the generosity of kind people. We hope the pictures show you just how special you are to these animals in need. Your gifts of toys and snuggle safes will continue to help animals for years to come. Your gifts of Timothy Hay and treats are a luxury to rescue animals.

Please remember to visit us next year and thank you very much from us all.
