Support the Sanctuary

There are many effective and meaningful ways that you can get involved with the sanctuary... and any gift, no matter how small, is always gratefully received. See the different options below.

Black Sheep 15th Anniversary Extravaganza!

It's the 15th anniversary of the Black Sheep Animal Sanctuary and to celebrate, we are  throwing a month long extravaganza to raise essential funds for our 100 rescued animals.

There's a movie screening, a raffle, a pole dancing class for beginners, a party at Opportunity for Animals with Dj's and games, and a sanctuary tour!

Make a Direct Donation
To provide a high standard of care for the horses, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens and other animals at the Sanctuary, we need to create safe and secure housing and enclosures.
We need to upgrade and maintain current infrastructure as well as building more for the animals’ ongoing needs. The materials to do this are often costly, so we welcome donations.

Donate directly into the Animal Protection Society bank account:
Kiwibank 38 9005 0324267 00
– email us too so that we can thank you and send you a receipt.

Please note that unfortunately we can no longer take cheques as our bank will not accept these after 28 February 2020.

The Animal Protection Society is a registered charity, and all donations are tax-deductible.

Donate through Givealittle

Support us through PayPal

Any financial support that you feel able to give through PayPal is enormously appreciated.

Please also email us so we can send you your tax receipt and our grateful thanks!
Sponsor an Animal
If you would like to transform an animal's life but do not have the space or time to adopt one directly, you might like to consider sponsoring one of our long-term residents through a small regular payment. 

You can sponsor as an individual, a couple, a family or a group or organisation.
​
You can also give the gift of animal sponsorship to a friend of loved one!
