GLO Farm Sanctuary

It was our absolute privilege to build this playground in Lily’s honour. We recently gave a tour where we were able to speak about Lily and her love of animals. We have no doubt that as the animals play on this structure Lily is alongside them laughing and smiling.

Thank you to Lily’s family who have made something meaningful out of their grief with Lily's Love & Kindness. Please follow their page and support them if you can. 💕

Farm sanctuaries are disappearing.

And when a sanctuary closes, the animals don’t disappear with it. They still need food. Medication. Veterinary care. Shelter. And somewhere safe to grow old. Over the past five years, multiple Canadian farm sanctuaries have closed or begun permanent closure. And every time it happens, their animals have to go somewhere. Usually, that means other sanctuaries already stretched to their limits.

One closure doesn’t eliminate the cost of caring for those animals. It transfers it.

More mouths to feed. More vet bills. More infrastructure. More lifelong commitments. And the cycle gets harder. Sanctuary is a promise of forever. But love alone cannot pay the feed bill.
This is why monthly donors are so important. $5 matters. $10 matters. $20 matters. Predictable support allows sanctuaries to plan—and sometimes, simply survive.

Can’t donate? You can still make a difference.
• Talk about sanctuaries. Word of mouth matters more than you think.
• Share their posts.
• Book a tour and bring a friend.
• Buy their merch.
• Sponsor an animal.
• Volunteer.
• Ask your workplace about donation matching.
• Having a birthday? You probably don’t need another thing. The animals need hay. Start a fundraiser.
• Ask a local business to sponsor or partner with a sanctuary.

The person you tell today could become the monthly donor who helps keep those doors open tomorrow. Please support your local farm sanctuary while its doors are still open. And to everyone already standing behind organizations like ours: from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

You aren’t just supporting a sanctuary.

You’re helping us keep a promise of forever.

She doesn’t owe us eggs. She deserves to grow old.

By around 2½ years old, 43% of laying hens in one study had developed a tumour.

Another study found ovarian adenocarcinoma in 32.2% of laying hens over three years old.

And reproductive disease doesn’t stop at cancer.

Egg-yolk peritonitis. Salpingitis. Internal laying. Egg binding. Prolapse. Impacted oviducts. Ovarian disease.

This is the hidden cost of breeding a bird’s body to produce egg after egg after egg.

It’s also why every hen at GLO receives hormonal implants to suppress egg production.

We believe this is part of responsible companion care—not just in sanctuaries, but in private homes too.

If we choose to give a hen the privilege of living, we also have a responsibility to protect her from what humans have bred her body to endure.

We don’t want their eggs.

We want them.

No eggs. No expectations. Just the chance to live healthy and free.

🪿 SNOOP GOOSE IS IN THE HOUSE 🪿

Our girl Delilah has been battling an air sac infection, and treating respiratory infections in birds can sometimes require getting a little creative.

Right now, Delilah’s medications are being nebulized—turned into a fine mist that she can breathe directly into her respiratory system. We place her safely inside a box with the nebulizer running, allowing her to hang out in a cloud of antibiotic mist and breathe those medications right where they need to go.

Essentially… Delilah is medically hotboxing. 😂

And we can’t help but feel like somewhere deep inside, she is channeling her inner Snoop Dogg.

Or, as we’ve come to know her…

Snoop Goose. 😎

Drop it like it’s honk. 🎶

Notre belle Delilah lutte contre une infection des sacs aériens et, lorsqu’il s’agit de traiter les infections respiratoires chez les oiseaux, il faut parfois faire preuve d’un peu de créativité.

En ce moment, les médicaments de Delilah sont administrés par nébulisation — ils sont transformés en une fine brume qu’elle peut respirer directement dans son système respiratoire. Nous l’installons confortablement et en toute sécurité dans une boîte pendant que le nébuliseur fonctionne, ce qui lui permet de rester dans un nuage d’antibiotiques et de respirer les médicaments exactement là où ils doivent agir. 🫁💨

En gros… Delilah fait du « hotboxing » médical. 😂

Et on ne peut pas s’empêcher de penser qu’au fond d’elle-même, elle canalise son Snoop Dogg intérieur.

Ou, comme nous aimons maintenant l’appeler…

Snoop Goose. 😎🪿💨

Drop it like it’s honk. 🎶

Every day we are contacted about saving someone else. But the harsh reality is that we can’t say yes when we are struggling to cover the animals already in our care.

This is one of the hardest truths of sanctuary work.

Every time an animal needs us, our hearts say yes. But before we can open our gates to another life, we have to make sure we can continue caring for the animals who already depend on us.

Reality check? Right now, the costs are adding up faster than the donations are coming in.

Our recent hay bill alone was $7,000 — and despite fundraising specifically for it, we raised less than half of what we needed. This was on top of over $10,000 in veterinary bills - IN ONE MONTH.

Then there are the medical bills. X-rays. Diagnostics. Medications. Specialized treatments. Unexpected emergencies. Feed. Bedding. Supplements. Farrier care. Property maintenance. The list never stops.

These aren’t optional expenses. They are the cost of keeping our residents healthy, comfortable, fed and safe.

And this is exactly why we need monthly donors.

$5 a month.

It might not feel like enough to make a difference — but imagine 100 people giving $5 every month. That’s $500 we can count on. 500 people? That’s $2,500 every single month.

Reliable. Predictable. There when the next hay delivery arrives or an animal suddenly needs veterinary care.

If you’ve ever thought about becoming a monthly donor, please consider doing it now.

We desperately want to keep helping. We want to be able to say YES when the next animal needs somewhere safe to land.

But we can only do that if we know the animals already here will have everything they need tomorrow, next month, and next year.

We don’t need one person to save the sanctuary.

We need a community willing to stand beside us, month after month.

Please become a monthly donor today. Even $5 a month matters more than you know.

Help us help them. ❤️

We are so grateful for the opportunity to meet Lily and her family.

There is something so meaningful about seeing Lily’s legacy continue through acts of love and kindness that help animals in need. This beautiful gift will go directly toward caring for the rescued animals who call GLO home, and we are deeply honoured to be part of the kindness being carried forward in Lily’s memory.

We are working on something here at the sanctuary to honour Lily and look forward to sharing details soon! 💜

Our full timer Logan has a morning routine saying hi to the animals, Storm is always first to say hello! 😂

Notre employé à temps plein, Logan, a sa petite routine du matin : dire bonjour à tous les animaux. Et comme toujours, Storm est le premier à venir le saluer ! 😂
