It’s been a tough week here, and as it seems, good or bad, things come in at least 3s (one, two, three)! We realized a 4th thing tonight when we were notified about an error in the 2026 Calendar prints.  You’re getting this email because our system flagged you as someone who either sponsored or purchased a […]

I hope you’re sitting down for this, my friends. See the picture below? That’s Mel, a couple of months after she arrived in our care.  Yup, I said AFTER. So what you’re looking at is what her body looked like after two months of excellent nutrition, rest, and a home where she wasn’t called an […]

Soft straw, gentle heat, and a little help from their friends (that’s you!) Without straw and heat, winter is harsh — especially for animals who are older, injured, or still recovering. You can make the sanctuary stalls cozy and warm when it matters most. Lily’s Place is built on a promise: to give rescued animals lifelong sanctuary, […]

Rescuing a family of sheep This winter, four gentle sheep have a chance to find safety and lifelong care at Lily’s Place Animal Sanctuary. They’re part of a larger group of nine sheep being placed by a partner rescue — and with your help, we can open our gates to welcome these four home. When […]

Beatrice is a kind soul who’s been through more than any animal should ever have to go through. She was seized alongside Merlin, Mel, and Kate in a heartbreaking cruelty case. The accused faces charges under both the SPCA Act and the Criminal Code of Canada for failing to provide food, water, shelter, or care. […]

This time of year, we receive requests to take in multiple roosters every few days. Many come from people who once cared for them as chicks, now threatening to have them “processed” if we can’t help. This pattern is a result of the backyard chicken industry. Each spring, chicks are sold to people hoping for […]

We didn’t get to know her for long, but little Ruth made her mark. When I got asked if we would take in a baby turkey, and that it was urgent as she wasn’t doing well, I didn’t hesitate. I got in the truck and went straight to her. She was just a baby, who […]

The Little’s: Rosie, Josie, and Bob!

Rosie’s checking out the sheep chair that our good friend sent to the sanctuary! Why is this not only a generous gift but an incredibly thoughtful one? I (Jamie) don’t always have a second person to help with Rosie’s shoe changes (or Josie’s physiotherapy). That’s where the sheep chair comes in! Judas put the chair […]

Two weeks ago, several of our volunteers met early in the morning for “operation pick-up.” Sam (HR manager) came to the sanctuary from NS to help out, Robyn came extra early to help get all the current residents set for the morning before we headed out, Tim hooked up the trailer and was our driver, […]

Earlier today, we received Billy’s post-mortem exam from AVC. For those who may not know Billy’s story, he came into our care in early January after an urgent call for help. Over the years, he had lived in several homes, and while he was loved, his medical needs eventually outgrew what could be provided. After […]

When you bring your recyclables to Norrad’s Trucking Express & Redemption Centre Ltd (40 Albert St, Sussex, NB), you can now donate your refund to Lily’s Place Animal Sanctuary! Just ask them to apply your refund to the sanctuary account – it’s that easy!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Billy, with the compassionate assistance of the caring professionals at the Atlantic Veterinary College – AVCin PEI, yesterday. After consulting with the doctor overseeing Billy’s care, we made the difficult decision to free him from his pain. Despite our hopes, Billy showed very little […]

Before the sun came up today, we picked up Billy to take him to AVC in PEI. Billy has been transferred to the care of the sanctuary as he has a fractured long bone in his leg and needed to be taken to AVC for surgery. It was looking like surgery would be tomorrow. However, […]

Since arriving in January, Mr T has struggled to fit in. All the other roosters came in groups of 4. They already knew each other and had an established pecking order, which made it particularly hard for Mr T to find friends among the two rooster flocks. He’s getting closer to possibly being able to […]
