The Black Sheep Animal Sanctuary
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.
Make a Direct Donation
To ensure the horses, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens and all our other residents receive the highest standard of care, we need safe, secure and comfortable spaces for them to live in. This means ongoing maintenance of existing shelters and fencing, as well as building new facilities as needs arise. These materials and projects can be costly, so donations are deeply appreciated.

Donations can be made directly to:
Animal Protection Society — Kiwibank: 38 9005 0324267 00
​
Please email us after donating so we can thank you and provide a receipt.

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

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’d like to help support the animals at the Sanctuary, there are two ways to contribute:

Ongoing Individual Animal Sponsorship:
Sponsor one of our long-term residents through a small monthly donation, helping cover their food, vet care, and daily needs. Sponsors receive a certificate and regular updates about the animal they support.

One-off Donation for the care of a Group of Animals:
Make a single donation towards the shared care of a group of animals — for example “the cows,” “the goats,” or “the bunnies.” This helps with feed, shelter, medical care, and enrichment for the whole herd or flock.
​
Both options make a real and lasting difference for the animals, and can be made personally as a group or family, or as a gift.
