Update on Bean, Billy, and Bean’s twin! Bean is doing well and recovering quickly. He’ll be ready to run and play with his twin, who joined us just two weeks ago. She’s still a bit shy, but she’s slowly warming up to us and getting more comfortable every day. Billy is also on the mend after his battle with pneumonia. We’re relieved to say he’s feeling much better. Unfortunately, the CT scan done last month showed a mass in his nasal cavity, which is likely cancer. While it’s not good news, we’re grateful that Billy ended up with us. He’s getting the proper pain management, and lots of treats! Thank you all for your continued support and well wishes.

Billy the goat is going through a tough time right now. This senior guy is battling pneumonia and a partial nasal blockage, which has been making it even harder for him to breathe. We’re doing everything we can to support him, and make him comfortable, which is why we brought him into the heated shed. Any positive thoughts are appreciated as we help him fight through this difficult time.

We’re reaching out for some help this Saturday from 1-3ish to clean out a couple of shelters. We know this is short notice, but we’re working with the weather, and it’s the best window we have! If you’re free and able to lend a hand, we’d really appreciate it. Every bit of help makes a difference! Send an email to [email protected] if you can make it.

Bean’s foot injury turned out to be more serious than we were hoping. After another visit to the vet, it was clear the damage was too much, and he would have to have his leg amputated. That surgery happened today and it went well. It’s a tough situation, but we’re confident he’ll adjust and live a long life with three legs.

Thank you, Fair Square!

We’re so grateful to Fair Square Canada and everyone who contributed to their fundraiser. $250 was raised to support our work for animals like Billy. Billy is 13 years old and has arthritis, so he takes pain medications to stay comfortable.

A special thank you to the team at Fair Square for organizing this fundraiser and being champions of kindness. We couldn’t have done it without incredible supporters like you!

Meet Bean!

We were contacted about this little guy who had his foot crushed in a dairy barn and was in urgent need of medical care. On Christmas Eve, he had an X-ray that revealed three broken toes and two nails torn out. He’s now on pain medication and antibiotics, and once the swelling subsides, we’ll determine if any toes need to be amputated. Despite everything, he’s a resilient little guy who’s loving life.

We’ve had some wintry weather this month, with plenty of snow, wind, and freezing temperatures. Seeing the frost on Penny’s whiskers reminds us how thankful we are that she now has protection from the elements. For the past five years, Penny endured life as an “outdoor cow” with no shelter from the harsh weather. The slobber on her face was a kiss from her friend Coretta 😄

! Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, or just showed up to support what we’re doing. You’re the reason we can keep making a difference. Making a difference for animals like Billy. Billy spent the last 13 years living free-range on a farm with his mom. They were inseparable. But when his mom passed away, Billy wandered off the property searching for her. I got a call asking if we could give Billy a home. My heart broke for this old guy who had just lost his mom and his home all at once, so I went and picked him up. The transition was tough on Billy. Within days, he was struggling—not only with grief but also with the stress of moving and his age catching up to him. We took him to the Ontario Vet College, where a CT scan revealed severe arthritis in several areas, including his neck. Thankfully, with pain relief, Billy has improved a lot. We’ll continue working closely with our vet to ensure he stays comfortable in his golden years. Billy deserves all the love and care we can give him, and we’re honoured to be his new family.

Twenty-five years ago today, these two entered the world!
Life at the sanctuary kept us busy, so Patrick and Cicada, with help from their dad, built a half-pipe in the barn loft—a spot that became a favorite hangout for many kids over the years. Now, they’re sharing a place together in BC, living a vegan life! 😊

Our hearts are heavy as we say goodbye to our friend Shorty. While we’ve faced many losses, some are harder to bear, and losing Shorty is one of them. She came into our lives 3.5 years ago after enduring eight long years in a breeding operation, where she gave birth to litter after litter. She gave birth to over 300 babies, which were taken away from her over and over again. Pigs are very maternal and love their babies.

We’re grateful that in her final years, Shorty experienced the warmth of sunshine, the feel of green grass beneath her feet, the joy of mud wallows, the taste of amazing fresh food, and the friendship of her new family, Oink and Cromwell. Rest In Peace, Shorty ❤️

Pinto and Bean are becoming great friends! A little bit of peace in an unstable world.

National Cat Day

A #tbt on National Cat Day! Loki and Coretta are showing us that compassion comes in all sizes.

Pig days of summer! We have a heatwave this week so Jimmy is taking full advantage of a cooling mud bath.

Contrary to misconceptions, cows exhibit strong maternal instincts. Meet Coretta, tenderly caring for Penny, a rescued cow neglected for 15 years. Coretta, once exploited by the dairy industry for 8 years, endured regular separation from her calves. Studies have shown separation is heartbreaking for both mother and offspring. Coretta's milk, intended for her calves, was instead taken for human consumption. #eatinganimalsisweird #friendnotfood #vegansanctuary #notapettingzoo #ditchdairy

Next week, Luna has an appointment at the vet clinic for X-rays to determine why she's having trouble holding her head up. For now, she's staying apart from her goat companions, a situation she doesn't seem to mind too much as she enjoys the company of people more.#vegansanctuary#notapettingzoo#fortheanimals
