We truly are surrounded by amazing people! Two of those people are Lindsay and Eben!

Eben’s grade 5 class at Gagetown School learned all about entrepreneurship through the PowerPlay Young Entrepreneur program.

Part of the program is creating a product and selling it at a craft fair within the school. A secondary part of it is that each student donates 10% of their profits to a charity of their choice.

This year, the class chose Lily’s Place Animal Sanctuary as their charitable organization.

Eben specifically chose to donate 100% of his profits, and each of his classmates donated 10%. Together, a class of 13 kids raised $210!

To add to the excitement, Lindsay was in the classroom for Show and Tell today. Lindsay is one of our regular weekly volunteers. She told the class all about Lily’s Place and answered a LOT of great questions about the animals. How cool is that?!

Thank you so much to Eben, Lindsay, and the grade 5 class at Gagetown School for all your support!

Oh, look what we have here! It's the 2-stall shelter that the Kindness Club graciously approved our grant application for! 🥳

We started back in 2019, and never would I have thought we'd grow as we have.

The need for shelter, safety, medical care, and a quiet, stable home for aging, injured, and displaced farmed animals has never been in question. It's a huge need that few of us consider until we're faced with it head-on.

While cruelty, neglect, and urgent medical cases are common reasons people reach out to us for help, we also receive just as many requests from people who want good care for their elderly animals but are out of options to provide it.

Some recent situations have included overwhelmed owners in crisis, family members left behind after an unexpected loss who are now tasked with finding homes for their sibling's farm animals, children advocating for animals they've bonded with, social workers responding to neglect cases with no placement options for animals, and so many more uniquely challenging scenarios.

As a side note, we’ve seen a sharp increase in requests to take in animals since the announcement a couple of months ago that the province will lose its provincial veterinary field services for large animals in March.

We’re not going anywhere, though. We’re here for the animals and the people who care about them in this province and, more broadly, in Atlantic Canada, as we have served and helped animals and people across NB, NS, and PEI.

That's why this shelter matters. If you remember, we received a grant from The Eric S. Margolis Foundation to fence in additional pasture space. That work was completed last year, thanks to Gateway Fence. The new 2-stall shelter will be located within that fenced area to create an urgent intake space for large animals. Ground prep will begin this month, and the shelter will be delivered later this summer.

The two-stall shelter in the picture will increase the amount we're able to help both the animals who find themselves here and the people who care about them.

But really, this post is about more than a new shelter made possible by a grant. It’s about seeing that where there’s a will, there’s a way. Combine that with the heart of an advocate, multiply it by the caring community that ensures Lily’s Place exists, and you’re looking at people from far and wide who are making the world a kinder place, no matter what challenges we may face!

Freddy is fitting in so well here already! She even invited Robyn and Lindsay for a morning stroll 😁.

MYSTERY SOLVED: It’s time to reveal who the ghosts in the back seat were in the photo we shared on Sunday!

Surprise! The ghosts were 2 members of our animal care team, Jess and Sophia, plus *drumroll* Freddy!

Please help us welcome Freddy to LP!

Freddy was making headlines in local Fredericton groups for being a goose on the loose near a busy off-ramp.

People had been spotting Freddy for days, hanging out and getting dangerously close to the road as cars zoomed by.

In the picture we posted on Sunday, Jess and Sophia were checking in on how Freddy was doing during her freedom ride. Thank you to Kate for taking this picture while I drove everyone back to the sanctuary!

Freddy was a great passenger and seemed quite content to lie on a pile of blankets between Jess and Sophia. Once we got back to the sanctuary, we settled Freddy into our quarantine area and checked for anything that needed immediate attention.

Freddy seems to be in good health so far, except for one of her legs. We’re keeping an eye on that leg, as there might be an old injury there or perhaps we’re seeing the result of inadequate nutrition when she was younger.

You may have noticed how small Freddy is for a goose. Some folks speculate that she was a duck because of her size; however, Freddy is indeed a goose.

Breed, nutrition, and early care can all affect growth, but based on what we know right now, she is likely a juvenile goose, probably around 3–4 months old.

As we track her weight over the next little while, we’ll get a better idea of her age and such.

In the meantime, please welcome Freddy to Lily’s Place!

Jess is back with us for part of the summer, and Merlin couldn't be happier!

You may have already read some of Jessica's communications, gotten a phone call from her, or spotted her in pictures! Jess is fabulous with the animals, providing exceptional care, and is great with people, too!

Several folks saw Jess out in Fredericton over the weekend, along with Sophia (the other half of our dynamic summer duo!), who caught and escorted our newest resident back to the sanctuary for a health check.

Having a fabulous team for the animals is possible thanks to our network of donors, including The Grinning Goat Vegan Boutique, who just renewed their annual business sponsorship!

Thank you to everyone who's a part of creating a safe place for animals like Merlin to meet and be cared for by folks like Jess!
