Pete wants sanctuary!
|
Now, here's a heart-warming story. Apparently, the newly clean and serene Pete Doherty wants to open an animal sanctuary at his Wiltshire home. According to the Daily Star, Pete's plans came to light after he "fell in love with a one-legged hedgehog he found in the road".
At this point, we can't help feeling a tad sorry for the poor hedgehog. We can just imagine it lying there, thinking things can't possibly get any worse - when who stumbles along and picks it up but the Babyshambles frontman? Arrrrgh!
Still, Pete has proved his critics wrong by administering lots of TLC to his prickly friend. "He made sure it got the proper help it needed from a vet and set up a special section for it in his garden," says an insider. "Pete has a big heart. He also loves rats and is looking after one with no tail."
So what about these plans for a sanctuary? "He has lots of kittens, too, and hopes by the end of the year, he'll be able to open his pet rescue centre to local schools so they can educate children about animals," the source continues. Well, good luck with that, Pete!
