Available for Adoption
Looking for Love!
While some animals come to the Sanctuary for the rest of their lives, others would be happy to find new homes with loving families all to themselves. If you are interested in any of the animals below, please contact us for more information about them and the adoption process.
Third Time Lucky??
These hens may look like all the other battery hens we rescue, but their story is a bit more complicated. They were actually part of a battery farm rescue from three years ago. The woman who adopted them from us back has given them a wonderful life until now, and they’ve been very happy. Unfortunately, their adoptive Mum recently had to move to Australia for family reasons, on very short notice. She has asked me to please find another loving home for her hens. The people who have rented the property want them gone asap. I have found a home for 6 of them already, but the other 6 still need somewhere to go quite soon. You can adopt all 6 hens together, or we could split them if you just want 3 hens. They are a bit older than the freshly rescued battery hens, so they don’t lay quite as regularly. On the plus side they are already very healthy and happily well-adjusted. If you’re not fussed about high levels of egg production and just want to provide a home for some (twice) rescued battery hens who will make great pets (with some eggs as a bonus), please contact me.
Patches – Has Been Adopted!
PATCHES HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY ADOPTED, BUT IF YOU WANT TO PROVIDE A HOME FOR OTHER SWEET GOATS, PLEASE LET US KNOW.
This lovely lady is Patches. She’s a 12 year old pet goat, and needs a new home quickly. Patches is very friendly, walks nicely on a lead, and has a coat to keep her warm in winter. She was rescued from a feral cull 12 years old ago, was an Ag Day pet, and the woman who raised her loves her very much. However, the husband wants Patches gone, and has threatened to either shoot her or slit her throat. (Grrrr) We’ve asked for time to find Patches a safe loving home. If you’re interested, please let me know as soon as possible. E-mail animalsanctuary@xtra.co.nz or phone 09-422-7322. Thank you.
Ex-Battery Hens
The Sanctuary works closely with animal welfare groups to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome battery hens. Hens make wonderful companions as they are low-maintanence, social animals that love to spend time with you and will keep you entertained with their antics. If you live in the Auckland or Rodney areas and would like to adopt some hens, please click here to learn more.
