Coco
Cow and her baby rescued Unlike so many cows in the meat and dairy industries in Australia, Coco was one of the lucky ones. Arriving at Farm Animal Rescue on 1st February 2018 she also came with her baby George. And whether she was just not cut out to be a mum full-time, or whether …
Boris
Boris was born in 2010 and arrived at sanctuary on 20th April 2018. He is one of the most approachable of the sanctuary steers, in fact he really likes to approach you when you aren’t looking and push you over! So we keep a little bit of distance. A lot of the younger steers seem …

Peter
One of the sanctuary broiler flock, this beautiful affectionate and huge guy has been born into an oversize body that makes his life so very hard to live. Like all sanctuary broilers all these chickens are special needs and require constant health monitoring. But they pay it back in sweetness and kindness. Peter is very …
