Phoenix

Although we do not know how Phoenix came to be homeless, we do know that he was taken into care by the Animal Welfare League when he was only a baby rooster.

Distraught that they couldn't find him a home because there are always so many homeless roosters, the staff there persuasively arranged for Phoenix to come to the sanctuary.

And how lucky was Phoenix to be given a second chance at life?

Roosters are often misunderstood and unfairly discriminated against because of their reputation for being loud and aggressive. However, with proper care and attention, they can make wonderful pets and companions.

Phoenix's story highlights the crucial role of Farm Animal Rescue in providing care and support to animals in need. The AWL did its part in rescuing Phoenix and providing him with initial care, but it was ultimately Farm Animal Rescue and our supporters that gave him the opportunity to have a permanent home and a chance to thrive for the whole of his life.

Thanks to the love and dedication of his new caretakers and our supporters, Phoenix was able to grow into a healthy and happy rooster. His story is a reminder that every animal, no matter how "unwanted" they may seem, deserves a second chance and a loving home.

Around the sanctuary, Phoenix loves interacting with his human and animal friends alike, loves pats and cuddles, and very much enjoys playing with the volunteer's smartphones!
