Harry the Hipster.β€οΈ Harry and Bonnie were rescued from wasteland. Left to fend for themselves by the owner. Both were undesexed, Bonnie was perpetually pregnant, most of her babies over the years did not survive as she was not strong enough to feed them. Bonnie sadly passed away after three mths at WPF. Her previous life had taken too much of a toll. Harry was wild when he arrived, terrified of humans. After ten months, Harry is pretty chilled these days. Three of their offspring are also here. Harry and co were rescued because someone saw their plight and spoke up.β€οΈ

Sanctuary sounds.πΆ Turkeys are incredibly affectionate. They just love to be with humans and would follow us all day if they could. Sadly, most turkeys are factory farmed spending their short lives in windowless sheds before slaughter at 16 weeks. Just babies. As long as we consume animals, their suffering will continue. Be the changeβ€οΈ #govegan #theluckyones

Jun 30
When Sonny arrived 5 years ago he was known for headbutting people, so much so he had to be placed in the 'naughty goat' paddock on open days. A sudden bout of illness two years ago had Debbie (pictured) caring for him around the clock. He was so ill we thought we might lose him, but he rallied, and day by day he recovered. They have shared a special bond ever since.
Since then, he's transformed into a gentle goat who follows people as they do their chores and loves nothing more than to be a part of the team. Animals show incredible resilience when recovering from past trauma, but it can take a lot of time, patience and understanding that they might not ever be "people friendly". As long as they have a safe place to call home, we know that's all that matters to them. Animals are here with us, not for us.

Breakfast with the big guys. We ask the pigs each mealtime "where is your plate or go to your plate". Usually all three run down to their bowls and await their meals. This time it was just Wilbur who was the good, good pig. Pigs are smart, loving and individual. They want to live just as much as we all do. Love them, don't eat them. #someonenotsomething

Four of the seven goats and sheep rescued from a Sydney pound. All now health checked, vaccinated, hooves trimmed and wormed. The two male goats desexed. Every five months or so the "livestock" at the pound are auctioned off to the highest bidder (minimum bid is $30). Sadly, the outcome for the auctioned animals may not always be as positive as these lucky few. β€οΈ #theluckyones

Providing animals a safe place to grow old is a one of the best bits of sanctuary life. β€οΈ Sonny was rescued from neglect. For most of his life he was tethered by a roadside, no shelter, no company, little sustenance. Sonny found a soft landing at another sanctuary before coming here 5 years ago. Sonny used to head-butt all visitors but now it's just a tiny few. We love the dear old boy to bits. We are his people.β€οΈ

Starsky has made lots of new friends in his short time at WPF. Curious, industrious and opinionated with a lovable piggy snort; He's nothing if not persistent as he works hard to win Bubbles' heart. She's not quite convinced with this young hooligan and would like to speak to the manager...after a nap. π΄

Seamus celebrates two years of sanctuary life.π§ Seamus was born on a working sheep farm that breed sheep for meat and wool. As a baby lamb he was blinded by crows. Luckily Seamus landed his forever home at WPF and quickly made pals with Bubbles a fab rescue piglet. They were never apart. Seamus is all grown up now and shares a paddock with his sheep friends who adore him. Bubbles still visits. Send Seamus some love today.β€οΈ #someonenotsomething

We challenge you to find a more perfect piggy nose. π½
Bubbles' biggest problem in life is coordinating her prompt arrival to everyone else's meal time as well as her own. She has a big appetite and a personality to match. So many pigs will not meet a happy ending - nor have the opportunity to be known; to be loved; and to be seen as a sentient and loving being. Please leave pigs like Bubbles and her friends off your plate.
