From uncertain beginnings to a future filled with love—Theo and Leo are ready to find their forever home together.
Each year in Australia, over 400,000 calves are born on dairy farms and are deemed as “waste” or “surplus”. Theo and Leo were two of those calves. From the moment they were born, males on a dairy farm, they faced the unimaginable fate.
Male calves in the dairy industry are often seen this way as they offer little financial gain to a farmer.
Like many before them, they are often “disposed of” on the farm or sent on a truck to a slaughterhouse within the first few weeks of their life.
This is the heartbreaking reality thousands of calves face each day on dairy farms across Australia.
Theo and Leo once facing this horrible reality, are lucky to now be safe in short-term foster care. Thanks to the generosity of donors, two more precious lives have now been spared.
Now healthy and feeling cared for Theo and Leo are ready to find their forever home where they will be loved as companions, not commodities.
