Every creature at The Orinoco Animal Sanctuary has found their forever home
Due to the nature of the work we do and the vulnerability of some of the animals we don’t do group visits or open publicly. We do though welcome local small parties who are wishing to meet the animals and learn about their history. This is on an appointment basis only. Thank You.
It all began with Tina and James. Growing up in the countryside with dogs and ponies, Tina was always that child who spent her pocket money on three-legged horses in gift shops. James was a city boy who discovered a natural bond with animals.
First to join the menagerie were Barry and Barbara, a pair of rescued ducks, quickly followed by a flock of chickens and Tobias the turkey. Poppy the naughty donkey and toy horse Rocky added to the family soon after.
After a serious and life-changing accident, James found a special symbiotic relationship with the animals beneficial to both his physical and mental health.

‘What a life-affirming and joyful place to visit’
Now based at Coed Harbour, Llangunllo Powys., the sanctuary has become a central part of a friendly local community, even hosting a live nativity in the barn alongside llamas, sheep, miniature horses and donkeys.
Tina and James continue to rescue animals in need and welcome visitors, please contact us to arrange a visit.
