Meet Benjamin, a black pig with a white triangle on his cute nose. He joined us in December 2022 after being rescued by Chicagoland Pig Rescue, who also saved our beloved Durocs. While rescuing 24 abandoned pigs, they discovered that Benjamin had feral traits. Feral pigs, which are wild and not altered by human breeding, often face tough challenges. In his state, any attempt to neuter him would have led to euthanasia due to laws regarding feral pigs. We couldn’t let that happen, so we worked with the vets at Ohio State University to ensure Benjamin could safely enter Ohio and get neutered. Now an honorary Duroc, Benjamin happily shares the side pasture with his new family, enjoying grazing, treats, and mud playtime.

Meet Elle. Elle is a female and likely a badgerface-pattern Shetland Sheep. She found her forever home with Sunrise Sanctuary in the Spring of 2022. Her previous owner was incarcerated in October 2021, leaving several animals behind with inadequate food and shelter. While a little shy due to her rough start, her life is now complete, with loving animal friends and caretakers. She comes eagerly every morning for breakfast and is living her best life with the sheep herd.

We will miss Oscar and hold him very close in our hearts. He lived a long and wonderful life surrounded by love and friends.

2024 was a wonderful year for Sunrise Sanctuary. We gained Courage, Lace, Rain, Socrates, Supermodel, Kelly Pig, and Little Wilbur. We had our first full year with the new sheep herd (Bobby, Becky, Richard, Dori, Lori) and Heather. Our first year with Red and Ruby (the Duroc relatives). We celebrated Lily's 3rd birthday. Rowan has been with us 7 years! Kanjen celebrated her 3rd birthday and Juno her 2nd birthday! Millie became our longest resident (around 16 years at Sunrise). The Durocs turned 3. Henry and Oakley have been with Sunrise since 2012 (12 years) and Oscar for 13 years! Regan turned 4. Feathers and Little Wing got to have wild babies with their wild spouses. Baxter and Midge turned 11 (born in 2013 to rescue momma Sierra). Sally turned 12 (arrived 2012). There were poignant moments. We had to say goodbye to Lakota (with us for 11 years), Miracle (with us for 9 years), Ms. Bea (with us since 2011), OJ the rooster, Barbosa (the senior turkey who was with us for at least 11 years), along with others. Thank you for all your support and love. We are excited for 2025!

Sunrise wants to honor our beloved Millie who spent many years living her best life with us.

Happy Holidays! May your day be filled with many happy quacks!

The ducks LOVE their water!!!

Despite being blind, Liliou is living her best life in her special pen where she knows where everything is. 😍

Ever wonder what happens when ducks are out in the rain? Check out Neville loving the downpour!!! 💧☔️🌧️

As we celebrate Thanksgiving, consider the real impacts the food-focused holiday has on animals, especially those in factory farms. Take some time to reflect on how our choices impact animals and the world as a whole. Every small change helps. This article has many great insights. https://vegnews.com/why-people-go-vegan-thanksgiving

What is Preacher doing? Taking a dust bath! Horses love a good dust bath. A healthy, happy horse dust bathes to scratch their back (since they don't have hands). Plus the dust layer on their coat helps keep pesky flies away. And it just feels good, like a massage. Preacher loves to dust bathe on the pile rounded gravel Sunrise got specifically for the horses.
