Sponsor one of our permanent residents
By making a small regular payment to the Black Sheep Animal Sanctuary you can individually 'adopt' one of our permanent residents and directly contribute towards the cost of their food, vet bills and general care. You will receive a sponsorship certificate, email updates about the sanctuary animals and you can feel proud that you are transforming animal lives. You will also have the opportunity to visit the animals during our summer open days, during which you will be offered a tour of the sanctuary and a vegan afternoon tea. Sponsorship payments vary, starting from just $5 per week. As individual sponsorship contributions do not cover the full cost of animal care, the larger animals may be supported by more than one sponsor. Please click on the images below to read the profiles of our residents and fill in the appropriate form for the animal you would like to support. |

Adopt a horse like Chester
Sponsorship: $15 per week The miniature horses at the sanctuary are a real delight! We enjoy giving them the extra care they need to maintain their health and happiness.

However, with careful diet and management, our miniature horses are living rich and contented lives - they particularly enjoy going for walks and exploring new paddocks.
