🐐❤️ MEET LITTLE LENNY! ❤️🐐

Yesterday, this tiny newborn boy was found by some workers near a cliff edge, with no mum in sight. 😢

We went back about two hours later to see if mum had returned, but there were no goats anywhere to be seen. 💔

So, of course, little Lenny came home with us! 🫶🏻❤️

He's settling in beautifully, taking to the bottle like a champ, and he's already showing us his cheeky little personality! 🍼🥰 He loves to play and is the cuddliest little boy.

While we're always hoping mums will return for their babies, we couldn't leave this tiny guy out there, especially so close to a cliff edge. ❤️

Welcome to Pasture Pals, little Lenny! You're safe now, sweetheart. 🏡🐐❤️

Another little life, another little story, and another reminder of why we do what we do. 🫶🏻

If you'd like to support us in caring for all our rescued residents, every bit of support makes a difference. ❤️

🐐💚 MEET SEBASTIAN! 💚🐐

This handsome little man is Sebastian, a nearly 1-year-old Nigerian Dwarf (cross?) wether who's looking for his forever home! 🏡❤️

Sebastian is a funny little character with plenty of personality! 😂 He's playful, curious and will happily come up to you when you've got food in your hands! 🥬😋 That's your chance to sneak in a little pat! 😉

He's still a bit scared of people, so he's not quite a cuddly goat just yet. With a patient family who gives him time, kindness and plenty of positive experiences, hopefully he'll learn that humans aren't so scary after all. ❤️

🐐 Who can give Sebastian the amazing home he deserves?

We're looking for a suitable, approved home where this little man can enjoy life, have goat friends and be loved and cared for for years to come. 💚

📩 Interested in adopting Sebastian? Send us a message at Pasture Pals Animal Sanctuary!

Let's find this funny little character his forever home! 🏡🐐❤️

🏡 WE’RE LOOKING FOR OUR NEXT HOME FOR PASTURE PALS 🐐🐑❤️

As many of you know, the property we currently call home is going up for sale soon, which means we're already on the hunt for somewhere new for Pasture Pals Animal Sanctuary.

We’re hoping to find a long-term rental property where we can continue rescuing, rehabilitating and caring for animals who need a second chance; mainly sheep and goats, but also our chickens, cats and dogs.

We know our wish list is a big one 😅 but we're hoping that somewhere out there, there might just be a property that could be the right fit, and we're open to locations we haven't considered yet!

🌿 Ideally we're looking for: • 2+ bedroom house
• 15+ acres of usable land (bigger acreage preferred)
• Existing sheds or suitable structures for animal care/storage
• Fencing, or the potential to add/improve fencing
• Flood-free land
• Minimum 2-year lease, preferably longer-term
• Within roughly 60 minutes of the coast
• Anywhere from Narooma up towards the Gold Coast, but we're open to other areas too!
• Off-grid is absolutely fine
• Backing onto bushland would be a bonus 🌳

And we're not just looking for somewhere to put animals.
We'd love to eventually create vegetable gardens, plant fruit trees and make the property a beautiful, productive and sustainable little home for both the animals and our family. 🌱🍎

We're also more than happy to put work into a property. We take pride in looking after where we live and are willing to assist with fencing, property maintenance, building animal shelters and general upkeep where appropriate.

We're respectful, reliable tenants with excellent references and have poured our hearts into caring for the properties we've lived on.

❤️ We are also open to caretaking opportunities.
So, if you know of a property sitting unused, a landowner considering a long-term tenant, someone looking for caretakers, or perhaps a property that isn't even advertised yet…
PLEASE think of us.

You never know where the right connection might come from, and sharing this post could quite literally help us find the next home for all the animals who depend on us. 🐐🐑❤️

Please share far and wide, especially with anyone who owns acreage! 🙏🏻
Because somewhere out there is hopefully our next little patch of earth. 🌱🏡🐑❤️

FOSTER HOME FOUND!

💔 Two tiny orphans arrived last night…

Meet Josie & Khaleesi 🐑❤️

These two little girls are only 3 days old and sadly, their mum has passed away. They’ve come into Pasture Pals needing round-the-clock care, bottles, warmth and lots of love.

And as much as I absolutely adore these little babies, I can’t be everywhere at once. I’m working to pay for the care of all our animals, while also looking after them, so I’m desperately looking for a little bit of help. 🥺

🌿 We’re looking for either:

🏡 A foster home; someone experienced who could take Josie & Khaleesi in and care for them while they’re little.

🍼 A bottle-feeding helper; someone local who could come and help feed them when I’m at work. Even helping with a couple of feeds would make a HUGE difference.

❤️ Or an experienced bottle-feeder who may be interested in adopting them, keeping these two sisters together would be absolutely wonderful.

They are only 3 days old, so they need someone who understands the commitment involved with newborn bottle babies. They’ll need frequent feeds, warmth, monitoring and lots of care while they grow.

If you’re experienced with bottle babies and think you could help Josie & Khaleesi, please send me a message.

And if you can’t help directly, sharing this post could help us find the right person for these two little girls. 🙏🏻

We just want to give these babies the best chance at life. ❤️🐑

Please note: Any foster or adoption home will need to be approved by Pasture Pals.

I’m bloody angry.

Actually… I’m fu***ng exhausted.

Exhausted from seeing animals suffer because people can’t be bothered to do the absolute basics.

Last week, I was out getting animals off the road because someone couldn’t be bothered fixing their fences. Animals were escaping and putting themselves at risk of being hit by traffic.

And today… another phone call.

A local farm we’ve had quite a few dealings with over the last few weeks.
One of the goats there is actually a goat that we previously had in our care.

When we got the call that she was in great distress, we got her straight to the Camden University Vet.

She is now fighting for her life and has a 50/50 chance of surviving.

And while this poor girl is lying at the vet fighting to stay alive, the main concern seems from the farm manager is to get her 7 week old baby back as quickly as possible so she can be put into a paddock full of goats without protection.

Later during the week I'm also checking some sheep and alpacas at another place that are not being fed and the owner doesn't want to shear them (WTF!!).

I honestly don’t fu***ng understand it.

How can you look at an animal and NOT care?

How can you watch an animal become sick, injured or distressed and think, “Oh well”?

How can paying a vet bill be more important than the life of the animal standing in front of you?

These animals didn’t choose you.
They didn’t choose where they live.
They didn’t choose what they eat.
They can’t fix their own fences.
They can’t call the vet.
They can’t tell you they’re in pain.
They rely on us.

COMPLETELY.

And I’m sorry, but caring for an animal is not rocket science.

Clean water
Appropriate food
Safe fencing
Shelter
Protection
Basic observation
And veterinary care when they need it

That’s it.

They deserve that much.

I spend so much of my life, my time, my energy and my own money trying to give our animals the care they deserve.

We take in the ones people have failed.

We bottle-feed babies.
We get up through the night.
We sit beside sick animals.
We pay the vet bills.
We fight for animals that have no voice.

And we do it because THEY MATTER.

So when we rehome one of our animals, we are trusting someone else with a life that we have loved, cared for and fought for.

And honestly?

Days like today make me want to stop rehoming altogether.

Because rehoming an animal isn’t giving someone a cute goat or a fluffy sheep.

It’s handing them a LIFE.

A living, breathing being that feels pain, fear, stress and love.

And if you aren’t prepared to take responsibility for that life, then PLEASE don’t get an animal.

Don’t tell me you “love animals” if you aren’t prepared to actually care for them.

Because loving animals isn’t cuddling them when they’re cute.

It’s fixing the bloody fence.

It’s knowing what they should and shouldn’t eat.

It’s noticing when something isn’t right.

It’s making the phone call.

It’s paying the vet bill.

It’s getting up at 2am when they need you.

It’s putting THEIR needs before your convenience.

It really isn’t that hard to give a damn.

And right now, I’m just hoping and praying that this beautiful girl pulls through.

Because she deserves the chance.

They ALL do. ❤️🙏🏻

🐄🤎 Sometimes all they need is someone to say, “I’ll give him a chance.”

This little Jersey bull calf came to us at just 10 days old after his farmer had decided he would have to be put down.

He had been pulled away from his mum and put onto another cow to feed from… but after a week, that cow ran out of milk, leaving him hungry 💔

When he arrived with us, we quickly discovered another challenge — he had never drunk from a bottle. We tried everything and were struggling to get enough milk into him. For such a young calf, that was a very scary situation.

Thankfully, with the help of some absolutely beautiful local people, we were able to find him a safe new home the very next day. 🙏🏻

And then came the little miracle we were hoping for…

At his new home, he finally figured out the bottle and started drinking properly! 🥹❤️

From being unwanted and facing the worst possible outcome… to having a safe home, a full belly and a second chance at life.

We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this happen. It really does take a village — and this little guy has already found himself a pretty amazing one. 🐄🤎

Welcome to your second chance, little man. You are very loved. 🥰
