A helping hand for the animals - emergency feedraiser

The Covid-19 crisis is affecting us all. The Black Sheep’s income from our fundraising op-shops has dropped alarmingly since the surge in Omicron infections, as many of our volunteers are ill or isolating. Fundraising events have been cancelled, while we find ourselves with even more mouths to feed. These include sweeties like Lentil, an older horse, and Rocky, an elderly steer. Please give us a helping hand to send this feedraiser viral!

This is an emergency situation. We urgently need to purchase feed and veterinary supplies to help us rescue animals like Dandelion, who was found last spring in a paddock alongside other lambs who were already dead. She was wet with birthing fluid, ice-cold and barely able to move. With the help of 24-hour feeds and care, she grew strong and healthy and now leaps playfully alongside her companions. At night she snuggles into a cosy house lined with straw.

$10,000 will fund essential veterinary supplies, grain, pellets, hay and other nutritious feeds. As a registered charity, all donations are tax deductible and go directly to our rescued animals, including cows, horses, pigs, goats and many more.

These are grueling times for both human and non-human animals. All contributions warm our hearts and our residents’ beds and bellies! We’re humbled by your generosity and we hope for your ongoing support (monetary and otherwise!), so that we can continue to help animals through the wave of Omicron infections.

Thank you, keep well and take care.
