Every resident at Lily’s Place has their own story. Miss Moose, Rory, Charlie, and Claire came to us in December 2025 when the person caring for them was stepping away from farming.

Definitely late posting this, but during the summer, we put up a "cool room" for the sheep who were really struggling during the heatwaves in early July and early August. The temperatures were regularly soaring into the low-to-mid 30s°C during that time, so using the chain-link frame that was already in the barn, along with […]

Mr Blue has lived at the sanctuary since 2023 after being dumped in the woods to fend for himself. He was a young, parasite-covered, injured, and scared little mister back then. Things certainly have changed for the better for Mr Blue! Today, he’s all grown up, super sweet, and known as the lap rooster around […]
