Gladys has come such a long way. When she arrived near the end of spring last year, she was carrying the weight of devastating neglect. Everything was new, overwhelming, and uncertain – including us. She was very unsure about everything and everyone. It took her a while to even learn how to trust and enjoy […]

Heat waves call for extra care, which meant turkey spa day at Lily’s Place last week. Judas spent time helping our turkey friends cool off by gently dipping their feet into cold water; a simple little “turkey pedicure” that brings big relief. 😅 Daryl is in the wheel barrel and Bo is standing in the […]

Why are Ellie and Klaus sleeping in a new spot? What’s happening in their stall? And why are Claire and Moose separated from the flock? Let’s fill you in on the little mystery unfolding at the Sanctuary. Claire arrived in mid‑December with three other closely bonded sheep. All four are still quite shy as they […]

Now that Avril’s adorable antics have caught your attention 😉 I wanted to give a shout-out to one of our volunteers, Aaron! Aaron at LogicPros started volunteering with us recently and has been such a huge help to Lily’s Place! For example, he’s been setting things up so our Facebook posts seamlessly share on our […]

While Daryl and Bo were in the barn, Bernie took the opportunity to show off for Joey, Mickey, and Stevie. Watch for Stevie looking Bernie over 😆

🚨 IMPORTANT NB VET UPDATE NEAR THE BOTTOM! Josie is a senior sheep with mobility issues that can’t be corrected due to delayed care before rescue. If Josie had received intervention at a much younger age, she likely would be walking as well as Rosie is today. Her treatment options are limited due to her […]

Thank you to Robyn for putting on this amazing fundraiser and to everyone who supported her efforts! What a wonderful way to support a local artisan and ensure there’s care available for animals who need it! If you’d like to support this fundraiser, there’s still time! Hop over to Salty Torch Glassworks to send Robyn […]

Hey Sid! Did you hear that The Gathering’s “Blossom & Bloom” event is happening on June 27, 2026? Entry is by donation, and Lily’s Place has been chosen as one of the featured charities to receive the door donations! Be sure to stop by the Exhibition Centre in Fredericton that day! It’s a great opportunity […]

The hair cuts continue! It was Sid’s turn and as usual, he was such a good boy! Sid has been with us since the start of the sanctuary and knows the routine. He’s content to hang out with people no matter what we get up to – even if it’s his spring hair cut!

This week we’re celebrating two special ladies!  First up is Sophia, who has been helping out at the sanctuary for over a year now! In fact, she celebrated her one-year “sanctuversary” a few days ago. She’s a vital part of our team and is on track to become a large-animal vet! And even better news, […]

Usually don’t mention my birthday or expect the day to be anything out of the ordinary (just the way I like it ?), but sharing this selfie with Merlin and his magnificent beard is well worth breaking tradition over. This morning, I was thinking about how I’ve been told over the years that I live […]

It doesn’t feel all that long ago that Tim returned to the sanctuary just before dark, opened up the back of the truck, and revealed two sheep; Johnny was massive, and June looked like she was stuck in a big woolly cloud.  That was back in 2023, and to this day, Johnny still holds the […]

Many of you know that Josie has two leg braces. What you might not know is that she rarely needs to wear them now. ? When she does need them, though, I’m so glad she’s got them! For example, a few weeks ago, we noticed she had roughed up her knee (likely from slipping on […]

Sid was the very first sheep to call Lily’s Place home, and over the years, he has become known for making others feel safe. He is gentle, laid back, and never in a hurry. Whether someone is big or small, young or old, Sid has a way of helping them settle into life at the […]

Annabelle joined us after being found in a densely populated city, standing on a low concrete barrier at a busy intersection, surrounded by traffic in all directions. Due to a popular “foster a duck” program in the area at the time, it was suspected that Annabelle had come from there originally, but was now abandoned […]
