Our Story
In 2018 we started looking to the future, aiming to move to a lifestyle block where we dreamed of one day opening an animal sanctuary. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to move but it did start a journey of self reflection which led to the realisation that we were making a thousand excuses, and letting society dictate what was or wasn’t achievable for us!
So we stopped with the excuses and decided that if saving animals and making a difference was important, we needed to start NOW! Fast forward a year and our house looks completely different. We’ve completely switched the outside spaces up to accommodate rescue chickens, baby chicks and ducklings, rabbits and other small animals as they come in. Our weekends are now spent changing the bedding in our various animal houses/enclosures, and my days as a stay at home mum include so many more varieties of poo than they did before... and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Our goal is still to move to more space as soon as we can afford to. There are so many more animals out there that need a safe haven, and we’d love to be able to help bobby calves in particular, being surrounded here by dairy farms. For now the biggest impact we can have is in the rescue and rehoming of ex battery/barn hens so you’ll likely see our pleas for loving forever homes pop up every so often.
If you come across a clutch of chicks or ducklings that you’re sure have been abandoned, a chicken that needs a home, or any other small furry or feathery friends in need, send us a message as soon as possible and we will do everything we can to help! If we’re not personally set up for your animal in need we will help put you in contact with the appropriate organisation. Every life matters, and working together we can make the world of difference for these innocent souls.
