What a crazy drive today!

Checked on a total of 9 kangaroos/wallabies on the road, found twins and an older baby girl in pouches after their mothers had sadly passed.

These babies they are now with a wildlife carer, wishing them all the best of luck! ♥️

Just a snippet of the farm, there are a lot more trees that have been planted, but it’s cool to see this patch and the farm change over time from an aerial view.
John has built all the structures and fencing, so much has changed!!

Poor Harley boy is still looking for a sponsor, he is one of our larger than life (personality wise) rescue residents, he is also still part of the lonely hearts club after he’s lost a few friends in life and is searching for that love and friendship again.

In order to learn more about Harley and become a part of his world you can sponsor him - simply nominate an amount per month, you will receive a sponsorship certificate and updates.

As a bonus - all donations over $2 are tax deductible within Australia!!

The coolest kid on the block - that is Harley, he knows it and all the other piggies in the land know it 😎🐽 Harley has been on quite a journey, born and rescued as a half large white - half wild boar, he became a young dad at a…

Dear JK47 was rescued in August 2023, he arrived on our doorstep a couple weeks old - we were told he had a little break in his leg, it had been strapped and he’d be right, turns out he had a major break and had months of casts, splinting and pain relief.

JK47’s leg has since healed but he’s now facing some health concerns as he has lost weight, is lethargic and not eating well. We are doing what we can to work out what is happening with our poor boy and have moved him into the nursery for closer monitoring - please everyone send love to JK47 ♥️

Sapphire is such a beautiful girl inside and out, she has the kindest soul and we have become good friends.
Sapphy is one of 5 horses here at sanctuary, and one of 3 who suffers from laminitis and arthritis, both debilitating health issues which need to be managed through diet and medication.

The horse’s with laminitis are the only animals here benefiting from the drought as green grass causes their condition to flare up, they already need to be hard fed throughout the whole year.

Sapphire is still looking for a sponsor, will you be that person? https://jdsfarmsanctuary.org.au/animals/sapphire/

Please consider sponsoring an animal as this helps us ensure long term care for the rescue residents.

Barbarella is one of the 250+ rescue residents, she is the smallest baby goat we’ve ever met - 1.6kg!
At one day old Barbarella arrived at sanctuary, we picked her up from the abattoir where she was born, she was so small and weak, she suffered what seemed eternal infections, joint ill, issues with her vision, and lacked energy.

Baby Babs sat and watched as the others played, she was so weak and riddled with issues, we quietly held our breath but didn’t think she would make it.

Barbarella is now 7 months old!!! She has truly surprised us, with all the love and care, medication, and total determination, she has defied the odds - she is sight impaired but so very happy and will live a wonderful and full life at sanctuary.

We have been able to give Barbarella this chance due to the work we do here at the sanctuary, though in order to have come this far and keep going we need your help!

We need help!

Firstly thank you so much to the wonderful people who have helped us purchase hay to feed so many residents during this drought, it has taken a lot of pressure off!!

The sanctuary funds however, are critically low, we owe over $1000 to the vet clinic, the cost of hard feed for the horses, pigs, chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, cats and dogs - is over $800 per week

We still owe $2500 on the hay bill - we’re hoping we can pay this before we run out and need to buy more! 😳

We are a self funded sanctuary running off a single income, which is stretched so far beyond what we can maintain!

Please please please - did I say please? Can you help us support the sanctuary residents who deserve love, safety and everything we can give them?

Babies Tooty and Munch are home after the ordeal of having their rather large plums removed today. The procedures went well and they are sleeping off the anaesthetic.

We are hopeful that Munch left behind his attitude along with his balls, as he is one angry little mummas boy!
For now they are sleeping angels 🐽🐽
