Stanley and Hetty
Stanley is now sponsored by Kirsty! And Hetty is sponsored by Rachel! Stanley and Hetty's owners could no longer look after them, and there was nowhere for them to go until they found a safe space at the Black Sheep. They are both friendly and love a good rub and lots of attention! |
So if you would like to sponsor an animal, please contact us at blacksheepotaki@gmail.com
These are some of our animals who are looking for sponsors ...
These are some of our animals who are looking for sponsors ...
Horace Sponsorship: $15 per month Horace and his sister Dorris were rescued from a factory farm towards the end of 2011. Both have settled wonderfully into the sanctuary, and are very playful and inquisitive with tremendous energy.
Sponsorship: $15 per month
Miss Piggy is a very gentle and loving kunekune pig who needed a home. She adores attention from humans, and when you scratch her back she grunts so much that she almost purrs. 
Eddie
Sponsorship: $10 per month This is Eddie, our smallest rooster - his body is about the size of a pigeon! He has a lovely personality and is used to being loved - his former caregivers sadly had to give him up because their neighbours complained ... 
Ethel
Sponsored by Chloe Ethel was due to go to the slaughterhouse, but a kind person got in touch with us, and the lovely black-faced sheep is now living with us at the sanctuary. 
Ivy
Sponsored by Tony Ivy used to life tied up at a holiday park, with people teasing and prodding her. Not surprisingly, her owners reported that she was becoming aggressive, and they wanted to find another home for her. We managed to get in touch with them, and now she has settled into the sanctuary with several new goat friends ... 
Julius
Sponsorship: $10 per month Julius was one of the first roosters to arrive at the sanctuary. He is a lovely big white friendly boy, and one of the dominant roosters in the rooster park!

Sirius
Sponsorship: $15 per month Sirius is a beautiful gentle bobby calf who was due to go to the freezing works, but was thankfully saved in time, and found a safe home at the Black Sheep. He is hard to photograph as he like to stand right next to you and lick you.
Sponsorship: $15 per month
Dorris (shown here with her brother Horace) was rescued from a factory farm in October 2011. Like her brother she is very playful and curious about her environment. Both are growing fast and love their food! 
Hazel
Sponsorsed by Rene Hazel is a young heifer who would have gone into the dairy industry but is now living a happy life with her cow friends at the Black Sheep! She will not be made pregnant every year, and her calves slaughtered. She is very friendly and loves licking you! 
Clarence
Sponsorship: $10 per month Clarence began his life at a broiler chicken farm. Thankfully he was rescued from certain slaughter and is now enjoying life at the sanctuary. As meat chickens are bred to put on huge amounts of weight, he is on a special diet, but is doing very well so far. 
Hector
Sponsored by Jesse Hector the ram (seen here with his friend Ethel) would have gone to the slaughterhouse but for finding a safe haven at the Black Sheep. 
Dandy-lion
Sponsorship: $10 per month This is Dandy-lion, our self-proclaimed house rooster - he had an eye injury inflicted by another rooster, now healed. He moved up to the house garden and returned each time we took him back to the orchard, so now he has become the house rooster. 
Iris
Sponsored by Maxine Iris lives at the Black Sheep with Hazel, Poppy and Lily. Like them she nearly went into the dairy industry but is now living a happy life with her cow friends and Thunder the miniature pony at the Black Sheep! Fennel
Sponsored by Holly
Ethel the black-faced sheep was already pregnant when she arrived at the sanctuary. Early in spring she gave both to a sweet spotty-faced lamb - even his little legs are spotty! Fennel and his mum are both thriving. |
