Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries

Award-winning UK animal sanctuary and charity creating a kinder future for farm animals through compassion, education, and advocacy.

With the help of our valued supporters, we’re working towards a better future for animals through compassion, education, and advocacy. We care for over 350 rescued animals at our headquarters, Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary based in Worcestershire. As part of our dedicated Education Programme, we facilitate meaningful connections between visitors and our residents, helping to reshape perceptions of “so called” farm animals and raise awareness of their suffering. Alongside this, we back national campaigns to prevent animal cruelty and inspire people of all generations to make compassionate lifestyle changes.

It's 💚

At our sanctuary, we’ve had the privilege of witnessing the incredible transformation in animals who have been rescued from cruelty and confinement. There’s nothing quite like seeing them thrive in a safe, loving environment where they can express their true selves - free to roam, play, and simply be happy.

We firmly believe that the most powerful way to end animal cruelty is by adopting a vegan diet. Every meal is an opportunity to choose compassion and make a positive impact on the lives of animals everywhere. By going vegan, we can contribute to a kinder world for all living beings.

Join our mission and consider how your food choices can create a brighter future for animals. Together, we can make a difference! 💚✨

Please give a big Goodheart welcome to our newest arrival, Maisie! 💚🐴

Maisie’s previous carer loved her very much, but sadly passed away. She wanted to make sure Maisie found a lovely retirement home where she could enjoy life alongside some fellow equine friends, and we’re so pleased to welcome her to the sanctuary.

Maisie is still settling in, but she’s already made a new neighbour! She’s in a paddock next to Harry, and the pair have been exchanging a few curious sniffs over the fence. 👋

We’ll look forward to getting to know Maisie as she settles into her new home. Welcome to the Goodheart family, Maisie! 💚

Thank you so much to everyone for your lovely messages about Brucey. 💚 It means a lot to us to read your kind words and know how much he meant to so many of you.

Our goose gaggle are a resilient bunch - currently enjoying a snooze in the hay and straw barn - but we’re keeping a close eye on them all and giving them a little extra love while they adjust. 💚

We’re heartbroken to share with you that our lovely Brucey the goose has passed away 💔

We know how sad this will be for everyone to hear, especially so soon after the news about losing Brucey’s friend Biscuit. Brucey was such a character and a resilient chap, but he was elderly and, sadly, wasn’t able to recover after a brief infection.

Brucey came to us in 2022 after a kind lady and her friend discovered that he had been dumped on a lake affected by toxic algae. They suspected that Brucey’s mate had already succumbed to the algae and were desperate to get him out of the awful situation. Thankfully, we had space at our sanctuary and Brucey was able to join our flock.

It was evident straight away just how happy Brucey was to be back with his own kind. He took to the group straight away and, despite his age, proved himself to be a confident and resilient goose, recovering well after eye surgery earlier this year.

We’re so glad that Brucey got to spend his final years safe at our sanctuary, surrounded by his own kind and doing the things he loved.

Thank you to everyone who sponsored Brucey or followed his journey and cheered him on - and a special thank you to his rescuer for bringing him to safety and giving him the chance to enjoy his final years with us.

We’ll miss you, Brucey 💚

Yesterday was a big day for our six newest arrivals – Tin Tin, Peggy, Po, Zephee, Scally and Daisy – as they joined their new friends in the sheep field! 🐑💚

April and Thelma were the first to come over to say hello, with plenty of friendly sniffing and even a little head rubbing before everyone headed off together to explore their new surroundings.

Your support allows us to provide a safe, happy retirement home for our animals and makes moments like these possible 💚
