Every Day Matters 

Imagine a world where these emergencies are met with an organization that can provide safety, comfort, and lifelong care to the animals displaced through no fault of their own.

We create that reality at Lily’s Place Animal Sanctuary—one resident at a time.

Your monthly sponsorship provides the foundation for life-saving care. It means food, shelter, and vital veterinary treatment for animals like Nancy, who found refuge after a lifetime of hardship, and Merlin, who received critical medical care thanks to compassionate supporters like you.

What happens when a caregiver's circumstances change so drastically, often in the blink of an eye, that they can no longer care for the animals who rely on them?

When farm animals face neglect, injury, or abandonment and need somewhere to go immediately, who can take them?

During the first 3 days at Lily's Place, new arrivals experience a whirlwind of change. They're introduced to unfamiliar surroundings, scents, and sounds. Sanctuary volunteers focus on making the animal feel safe and comfortable, providing a quiet space for adjustment. Initial health assessments are conducted, and a tailored care plan is developed. The animal may exhibit stress behaviours as they process their new environment.

Every Day After

The First 3 Weeks

The First 3 Months

Animals start to recognize familiar faces, feeding times, and their new surroundings. They start to settle into a routine, and trust continues to build as compassion care is consistent and reliable. 

Their immediate medical needs have been addressed, their care plan has been established, and volunteers are learning about the animal's preferences and personality.

The First 3 Months

As the weeks turn into months, rescued animals start to truly settle in. They have often started to form strong bonds with the animal care team at the sanctuary and/or other animals.  Any necessary medical treatments or rehabilitation programs are well underway. The animal's unique personality becomes fully apparent, and they engage more confidently with their environment. The animal care team can now refine long-term care plans based on observed behaviours and preferences.

When you choose your monthly sponsorship amount, you decide how many days of care you’re giving to rescued farm animals. Here’s how your support translates into action:

It takes an average of six monthly sponsors to fully care for one animal each month. Your contribution—no matter the amount—is a vital piece of this life-changing puzzle. Together, we ensure that every animal at Lily’s Place gets the care they need.

Since 2019, Lily’s Place has rescued over 60 animals and provided them with lifelong sanctuary. With your support, we can continue to help even more animals in need as one of the few multi-species farmed animal sanctuaries operating in Eastern Canada with charitable status.

✔ Adjust as needed.

Whether you choose to support one day of care or more, you remain in full control. Adjust your sponsorship anytime to align with your circumstances while still making a lasting difference in the lives of animals.

✔ Have A Direct Impact.

Every dollar you give provides food, shelter, medical attention, and safety for animals who need it most - those who can't be brought to typical shelter or animal control facility when they lose their home. Through regular updates and stories, you’ll see exactly how your support changes lives.

✔ Join Our Caring Community.

Your generosity combines with others to create a steady foundation of care. On average, it takes just six monthly sponsors to fully support one animal each month, and your part in this collective effort is vital.
