Black Sheep Animal Sanctuary Street Appeal

We need your help!

The Black Sheep Animal Sanctuary Ōtaki is running its third street appeal on Friday 21st December between 7am and 7pm. However, we understand that there are people outside of Wellington that wish to help. This is why we have set up an online fundraiser, running parallel to the street appeal, for all you great people who want to help but can't make it.

Our goal is to raise around $5000 to build a predator free paddock. This will be a large enclosed area in which the bunnies, guinea pigs, flightless pigeons, and other small animals can live in complete safety and freedom. This investment will massively improve the quality of life of these animals and allow them to be cage free.

Please share this event far and wide, and if you are in the area, look out for our collectors in their cow, pig and chicken onesies on Friday 21st December!

If you are in Wellington and wish to help on the day, please get in contact our appeal coordinator Clare Gillard at gillardgirl@gmail.com to sign up.
