Set up a second brand new Animal Sanctuary, to rescue a lot more animals!

Nationwide

GOAL: To establish a second NEW animal sanctuary, enabling us to rescue more animals.

The Animal Sanctuary Charitable Trust was made aware of a large group of previously rescued “farm animals” that must be removed from their current location. They are too many to rehome, and it’s almost impossible to find safe homes these days for cows, pigs and sheep. This has prompted us to pursue our dream of setting up a second animal sanctuary, so we can continue and extend our rescue work. 100% of funds raised will go directly toward establishing this new sanctuary, including building barns, shelters & containment yards; getting electricity and/or solar onto the property (for electric fences & water pumps); installing water troughs; fencing large sections into paddocks for grazing; transport of rescued animals to new property, etc etc. They say “It takes a village”, and we know that we need the support of our animal loving community to make this all happen. As we are a charitable trust, all NZ donors are eligible to receive a tax claimable receipt for 33% of your donations. Setting up a whole new animal sanctuary is a massive task, and we appreciate every bit of support you might be able to offer! Thank you so much.

About us

We provide a refuge for abandoned and abused animals, and either provide a permanent home or rehome. We raise orphaned native birds & rehabilitate injured native birds: We rescue battery hens, nurse them back to health and find lifelong caring homes.

Use of funds

Funds will go toward barns, shelters, fencing, water system, transport of rescued animals, ,etc

SAD NEWS & GREAT NEWS  11 December 2024

The sad news is that we didn’t get the property we’d set our hearts on for the new animal sanctuary. Very disappointing, but we’re telling ourselves there must be some good reason. So the search continues. We'll be looking at 2 other properties this week.

The GREAT news is that a wonderful supporter has told us that she will match, dollar for dollar, everything we raise in the next month for the new animal sanctuary, up to $5000. No, she won’t just give it to us, we have to work for it… but I’m up for that! Right before Christmas is a terrible time to fundraise, but we’ll make it worth your while! Over the next few days we’ll list brand new items that you can give as Christmas gifts. Watch The Animal Sanctuary FB page. We can also prepare Animal Sanctuary Gift Certificates for any amount, telling your friends or family that you’ve made a donation in their name for a wonderful cause. If you want a gift voucher created, please contact us with your details.
