You might remember the wild goat that has decided the sanctuary is the place to be. He lives in a paddock alongside the goat paddock. We feed him and talk to him and slowly building trust. Next step is to capture him, desex him and after a few weeks integrate him into the herd. Takes time.❤️

Sweet Murray is 36yrs old with few teeth left. Each day he gets regular soft feeds to aid his recovery after years of neglect and cruelty (Murray was seized by the RSPCA before we took him in). A little family of swamp hens dearly love his mealtimes too, enthusiastically clearing up any spills.❤️🐴❤️ #farmsanctuary #rescuehorse #sanctuarylife #vegan #plantbased

Throwback two years ago when orphan Leo arrived. Leo’s mum was shot by hunters when he was just hours old. Hand-reared by us and Miss Bubbles who takes her nanny role to heart.

Today’s family photo.❤️ November 2018, Shirley (mum) was released to rescue by her owner but he kept her babies back. She sadly left behind her family. Shirls was liking her new sanctuary life but we saw an inner sadness that we could not put right no matter what we did. Then, six months later, her babies were rescued and brought to the sanctuary and reunited with their mum. 🥰 Shirley and her babies suffered a life of cruelty and neglect resulting in a number of chronic health issues which are proactively managed. Best thing is this gorgeous family live out their lives together here. As they should. They never have to suffer or worry again.❤️ #mothersday #allmothers #farmsanctuary #plantbased

Our blind cow Oink. ❤️🐮❤️Most of us already care about animals. We love them as part of our family, take care of them when sick and grieve when they pass. Yet, without a second thought, the majority of us also pay for the needless and merciless suffering of animals just so we can eat a sandwich or a pie. Oink loves her life. She has emotions and feelings just like our dogs, cats and us. Oink wants to live. If not for her rescue she would be slaughtered at 18mths, a baby, just so we can enjoy a quick meal with no thought to the animal suffering. With so, so many cruelty free options out there, we can stop eating animals now and make a difference to our planet, our health and of course the lives of animals. #maketheconnection #govegan #vegan #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #farmsanctuary #rescuecow

A beautiful story of how one tiny pig defied all odds and found her home here at Where Pigs Fly Farm Sanctuary. Bubbles is now 3 years old, with a very distinctive personality: Confident, independent, direct with her feelings and even a little cantankerous, we love her to bits. Show her some love in the comments!

Quite a mixed crowd live in the home paddock. Ex-battery hens with special needs, blind ducks, guinea fowl and Penelope the turkey. At night all go into a massive, double storey aviary we have here. Apparently, a previous owner built it to home monkeys back in the 80’s. 🤔 Hoping they were rescue monkeys.... #farmsanctuary #rescue #educate #inspire #vegan

Last night we had to get the emergency vet out for Lottie (left). She had developed colic which can be fatal if left untreated. Lottie was in a world of pain and we were so worried for her. Amazing Dr Kat and vet nurse, Katrina arrived and, after assessment, started treatment. Painkillers kicked in which made Lottie comfortable. We monitored Lottie through the night and by dawn she was doing much better. Keeping a close eye on her now and awaiting some test results. Lottie and blind Mr Jones have such a close, loving bond, she looks out for him constantly. So happy they are back together again. I also wanted to call out our neighbour Suzy from Apptrak Stud who rushed over and helped us with Lottie before the vets arrived. Thanks Suzy.🙏🏼 Our vet bills are one of our major expenses, please donate to help us care for the animals.❤️ We are 100% volunteer run, registered charity. Thank you. Donate link in bio.🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Dawn, our newest calf rescue and Seamus our blind sheep, becoming fast friends. Two of the most consumed land animals who were bred only to be killed at a fraction of their natural life span, now look forward to a long and happy life surrounded by unlikely but wonderful friends. What a difference a little kindness can make. 🌸💛

Nancy trying to share Murray’s supper.🙄 Nancy had a badly broken leg when rescued from bushland. So frightened of humans, it took a few years to gain her trust. She now runs to us. This is what I love - the transformation that takes place with these animals. Some take weeks, months, others take years. Kindness and patience is the key.❤️ Dear Nance doesn’t mix with the other goats at all (her choice), she loves to hang out with the horses all day, every day. 🤷♀️ Debbie #someonenotsomething

Blind rescue horse, Mr Jones.❤️ Work is just about to start on his new spacious purpose-built paddock and shelter he will share with his best friend, Lottie. Mr Jones was seized by the RSPCA. He waited months and months at the shelter for a forever home before coming here. Cannot wait for him to have a safe space to live out his life. @dgbrothersrural #rescue #educate #inspire #farmsanctuary

Love this photo. Ex-battery hens looking out on the beautiful world from their coop. These girls were rescued from unthinkable cruelty - long, windowless sheds, rows and rows of cages. Six to seven hens crammed into one cage the size of a Mac. At 18 months when no longer laying as many eggs as the farmer wants, they are sent to slaughter. Never to see the sun, feel the breeze or the grass under their feet. This is the hellish life of a battery hen. I always think hard how the rescued animals must feel once at the sanctuary. Do they think about their horrific past or just live in the moment. I do hope they live in the moment. Debbie ❤️ #maketheconnection #govegan

How majestic is this boy? He is a wild goat that wanders the neighbourhood. He hangs out frequently with our goat team (on the other side of the fence). He did have a small herd with him but now seems to be very alone. Would love to give him a safe space here to live but first we need to catch him. He is timid of humans, the size of a mini pony and so, so strong. Need to make a plan... ❤️

Most of us already care about animals. We love them as part of our family, we take care of them when they’re suffering and we grieve when they pass. Yet without even a second thought, the majority of us also pay for the needless and merciless suffering of animals, just so that we can eat a sandwich. Young Ted loves to play and loves his life. If not for his rescue he would be slaughtered at six mths old (a baby) just so we can enjoy a meal. With so many cruelty-free options out there, we can all make a difference. #govegan #friendsnotfood
