You can't say Max isn't friendly! Rescued from a hoarding case in 2021, he quickly figured out how to make friends with humans when he realized he was among those who cared for him.

Jane Goodall knew how to observe quietly and speak plainly about animals whom most people will never meet and made us all care about them as individuals. We admire her greatly and see that in some small way the work we are doing here is trying to emulate what she did so well for so long. The world is brighter because of her. We all are going to miss you, Jane.

Rescue pig Suzy was almost driven to slaughter. Instead, she escaped and now she's safe here.

The Jane Goodall Institute has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute has passed away due to natural causes. She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.

Dr. Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionized science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world.

Clementine was neglected like so many other chickens because humans tend to see her species as “other,” and as incapable of thinking, feeling, or desiring anything other than the very basics. Science tells us that chickens and other birds absolutely have similar needs to humans: safety, emotional connection, community, and love. Recognize the sentience in all beings: your human neighbors and your nonhuman neighbors too. Let’s build a world where no one has to experience neglect like Clem did.

Fall is in the air — time to book hoof care! We need to schedule our herd’s regular 6 month hoof care appointment. This will be newcomer Franklin’s first hoof trim with us. Max is just one of 12 cows who need a regular hoof trim. We know that Colin has some hoof cracks that need to be examined, and we’re not sure what we’ll find when it’s Franklin’s turn to try out the tilt table due to his history of chronic hoof issues. What we do know is that this appointment will likely cost around $3,000 for everyone to get their hooves properly trimmed and any additional treatments given at that time. We need to schedule this appointment for Max, Colin, Woody, Franklin and all their friends as soon as possible so they can stay healthy and mobile. Help us schedule their hoof care day by donating here or on Venmo at Woodstock-Sanctuary.
