FAR Residents

We have just welcomed four new residents to the sanctuary, sweet little babies originally born to suffer a life of nothing more than a grim dirty shed, a terrifying truck ride and slaughter upside-down on a conveyor belt at just 50 days old. For these four little ones, life will be sweeter and longer. They […]

Ethel is one of our newest residents. She is a very old lady (probably about 10) who shows evidence of mulesing (the act of stripping skin off the area under where her tail should be with a knife) and some type of trauma to her ears. She is a lovely old girl is mostly timid […]

Henry the Goat Rescued from Live Export Route Henry is not so keen on people, but we can’t blame him. Henry escaped when he was being transported for live export. He was found on the streets by the RSPCA who contacted us to come get him and his friends. While it is not often talked […]

This is Gemima. She is 2 years old and weighs 1.4kg. She should weigh between 2 and 2.5kg. She has come from a barn-laid egg production facility where thousands of birds live in a single barn space where the birds are able to “roam freely”. Gemima does nothing but hide. She is happiest when she […]

Sally was born in April 2014 to her mother Sweety who came to the sanctuary as a rescued cow the previous July. Sally is one of the rarest things in the world – a calf that gets to live with her mum until she is old and grey. Sally will never see the horrors of […]

A Christmas Miracle While we don’t allow the sanctuary animals to breed, Sam’s mom came to us already in the family way. Born naturally, without any intervention from us, mother and baby are doing very well and Sam is quickly growing into a strong little man. The new arrival On December 30, a little miracle […]

Thomas has been at the sanctuary since he was 6 weeks old. He is now 18 months old and weighs 230kg! Since he arrived, Thomas has had a sponsor. However, we have recently been advised that that sponsor can no longer maintain his sponsorship. So we need a new animal hero to help us to […]

Carl was rescued in January, 2014, after spending 6 months in an RSPCA compound. He was very excited to join our goat herd, we suspect he had never really been able to just be with other goats before.
