Sadly, we are no longer asking for donations.

We are very grateful to the kind people who have donated towards Nana's medical care. However, we are very sad at the sanctuary today. While we had been advised that Nana may still have a couple of years of quality life, her condition deteriorated very suddenly and unexpectedly, and the vet determined yesterday that this was irreversible. She was put to sleep today. Although Nana was in her twenties, this was still a big shock, as she had barely seemed to age while she was with us and it felt as if she would always be there! She was a gentle, loving, yet strong-willed personality who charmed everyone she met. So we will be closing this page down. Thank you for your support.
The Black Sheep Animal Sanctuary is a safe and sustainable space to rehabilitate and re-home abused, injured, and neglected non-human animals. We are a relatively new sanctuary on 26 acres of land at Otaki Forks, an hour's drive north of Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. The Sanctuary operates according to animal rights principles and promotes animal liberation.
The Black Sheep supports animal rights and animal protection, providing a safe haven for about 100 previously abused, injured and neglected animals (pigs, goats, sheep, roosters, cows, horses, ducks, geese, rabbits, turkeys and more) near Ōtaki Forks.

We are most grateful to the kind people who have donated towards Nana's medical care. However, we are very sad at the sanctuary today. While we had been advised that Nana may still have a couple of years to enjoy her life, her condition deteriorated very suddenly and unexpectedly, and the vet determined yesterday that this was irreversible. She was put to sleep today. Although Nana was probably in her twenties, this was still a big shock, as she had barely seemed to age while she was with us and it felt as if she would always be there! She was a gentle, loving, yet strong-willed personality who charmed everyone she met. So we will be closing this page down. Thank you for your support.
