In MLHR we are committed to finding loving homes for the animals that come into our care. To this end we have an adoption scheme, detailed below. We also have animals fostered out in the community and this greatly eases the pressure on our own farms. We are very careful in our selection of both foster homes and forever homes for our animals – they have been hurt once, we do not want that to happen again.
