Don't forget to participate in the Christmas raffle! Plenty of gifts to be won, such as the one below

I’m excited to donate a voucher and one of my handmade bag-charms to be included in the raffle hampers in aid of the Sunshine Animal Sanctuary Malta.

Being a small business isn’t an excuse not to help—if anything, it’s a reminder of how important community and compassion really are. Every contribution counts.

Visit their Page for more info.
Each ticket purchase is a donation. 🙏🏻

Our premises may be closed, but we are still rescuing plenty of rabbits on a regular basis!

Please see below some of the rabbits which we currently have for adoption. Most are large breed rabbits. Please open your hearts 🙏

Donald and Daisy are in search of their forever home 🏡

They were going to be killed due to being blind and therefore not 'sellable'. Fortunately they were saved. Lucky duckies 🦆🧡🦆

Donald and Daisy need their own area, not with other birds who may bully them. The area will need to be safe and secure with access to water.

Please send us a message if you or anyone you know may be interested in giving them a forever home.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Can anyone help?

We are looking for someone who can fit this roofing to our pigs' enclosure in Zurrieq. The current one is old and water is leaking in. We have already bought the roofing with the correct measurements. If you can help, please send a Whatsapp msg to Ryan on +356 77360989 with a quote, or to arrange to see it so you can see what work is required.

Thank you! 🙏

Remember Flash? 🐽

Flash was adopted back in March '24, but her current owner is no longer in a position to keep her 😔

Flash would appreciate company, so if anyone already has a pig and is looking for a companion for her him/her, please consider adopting Flash. She is both spayed and chipped.

Thank you 🙏💗

Hi everyone!

We wanted to give a small update regarding our situation. As most people know, Sunshine Animal Sanctuary was created with the intention of giving farm animals a second chance and take in any abandoned or unwanted farm animals, such as rabbits, chicken, ducks etc.

Unfortunately, we no longer have a physical premise for our sanctuary, which makes our rescue mission practically impossible. Which is why unfortunately we are no longer in a position to rescue or assist with duck, chicken or pigs rescues. The only animals that we are helping at the moment are rabbits, which are being kept inside the private residence of one of the Sunshine members.

If you require assistance in rehoming or rescuing a rabbit, please contact Chiara Vassallo on Facebook or make a post on the Rabbit Adoptions Malta page (links down below).

Thank you for your cooperation

Meet Darcy, a sweet Californian bunny who was picked up by Animal Welfare 🐰

Darcy was riddled with fleas, ticks, earmites and had bad mange. She was also very dehydrated.

25 days later, she looks like a completely different rabbit! Her ears are up (no more earmites), mange has cleared (compare her feet in the pics) and she's full of life and energy!

Despite not having a premises anymore, we are still doing our best to help who we can.

If anyone is interested in adopting Darcy, please get in touch.

Thank you! ❤️

We wanted to give you all an update on the status of Sunshine and what we've been up to since having no physical sanctuary from November last year.

One of our members, Chiara, has been taking in rescue rabbits along with other caring individuals who have offered to foster until the rabbits are rehomed. The number of dumped rabbits on this island is not decreasing, and it is shocking how many we come to hear about.

Thank you to those who open your hearts and homes to these sweet and innocent souls whose lives were considered so worthless that they were thrown out and left to fend for themselves (photos show rescued rabbits in recent months).

We have also been setting up adoptions as much as we can, not only for rabbits but other animals who need rehoming who we come to hear about.

We are pleased to tell you that another sanctuary for animals is currently being set up which we are soon to be a part of. Manna Rescues already cares for dogs, chickens and our very own gorgeous piggies, Trixiebell and Sergeant. With time, this wonderful place will be able to take in even more neglected animals around Malta, including rabbits.

Thank you everyone for your support and we will keep doing our best to help animals around Malta as much as we can 🙏❤
