<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of our Foster Carers first spotted Moose among a group of cattle on a nearby farm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He was shy and fearful, one of the “wild ones” who stayed back from people. But our carer would often talk to him from over the fence and occasionally offer him little pieces of bread. Slowly, Moose began to recognise that voice. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then one day, the cattle were brought into a smaller paddock to be loaded onto a slaughter truck.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As they were being moved, it became clear that Moose was desperately unwell.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He was severely underweight, weak, and swollen badly around his jaw and mouth. He needed urgent medical care, but he was already in such poor condition that nobody knew if he would survive much longer. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other cattle were loaded onto the truck. Moose was left behind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our Foster Carer, however, seized this opportunity. Though we wish we could save every animal we meet at times, this simply isn’t possible, especially when it comes to commercial farms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, in the case of Moose, we had a chance to fight for him when it seemed no one would.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every day, our Foster Carer checked on him, spoke gently to him, and tried to help him while asking if he could be surrendered into care.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the answer was no.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our Carer would not give up, however, and with a stroke of luck, she was able to show the owners the rescue animals already being cared for, and so they could see the life Moose could have.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is why we operate with compassion. We never write people off. Farmers are still people, and we know with some education, they can learn there is another way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With this, the owner had a change of heart, and Moose was surrendered to foster care. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">His first day in safety was not easy. He was frightened, stressed, and unwell.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He still has a long road ahead of him. He needs to gain weight, rebuild his strength, and slowly learn that not all humans will hurt him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXjLdV7DMFx/">In this video</a>, you can see just how skinny Moose was when he entered our care. Though this breaks our hearts, our focus is and always will be his recovery.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Moose is alive. And that means his story is only just beginning. Moose <span>is ready to find his new home as a </span><strong><span>compani</span>on, not a commodity.&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Moose is a gentle, sensitive steer with a quiet nature. He can be a little shy at first, but with patience and some hand-fed treats, he comes out of his shell and starts to build trust.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He is not a dominant steer and would do best with a calm, placid herd or a companion steer/cow similar in temperament. Moose can be nervous around strangers, but he settles once he gets to know you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An old soul, Moose doesn’t run and play like other steers his age. He would be happiest living with older animals or those who enjoy a slower pace of life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Moose is looking for a quieter home with calm or older animals where he can relax and feel secure. He is sweet-natured and would thrive in an environment where he can simply be himself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He is well-behaved and does not get through fences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Moose can be nervous during vet visits or when in a crush, so he will need gentle, patient handling during these times. When stressed, the risk is Moose hurting himself rather than people or other animals.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you think that you could provide Moose with a loving home, please click the&nbsp;<strong>‘Apply to adopt‘&nbsp;</strong>button below to contact us and start your adoption journey today.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">🚚 Transport to be determined upon adoption application. The adopter will need to cover part of the cost of using a professional transporter; the charity will cover 50%. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">🌱 Moose&#8217;s diet consists of grass and hay, and as he continues to gain weight and improve in condition, he enjoys a chaff and molasses mix for extra calories. Moose has been under veterinary care and is up to date with vaccinations and worming. Moose will need an adopter to continue supporting him as he puts on condition.<br><br><strong>Moose has now been adopted. 🤎🎉</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reggie was born into this world as the byproduct of their mother’s milk production – their life worth nothing more, a future uncertain.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just like humans, female cows need to give birth to produce milk. As a result, each year in Australia, over 400,000 calves are born on dairy farms and are deemed as “waste” or “surplus”.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Male calves are often “disposed of” on the farm or sent on a truck to a slaughterhouse within the first few weeks of their life, as they offer little financial gain to a farmer, as they cannot be used for future breeding or milk production.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the heartbreaking reality faced by thousands of calves during calving season, day in and day out, on dairy farms across Australia.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fate had different plans for Reggie. Rescued by our team, he no longer faced a grim end to life.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reggie is lucky to now be safe in short-term foster care. Thanks to the generosity of donors, two more precious lives have now been spared.   </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now healthy and feeling cared for, Reggie is ready to find his forever home where he will be loved as a <strong>companion, not a commodity.    </strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sweet little Reggie is looking for his forever family and a best friend to share life&#8217;s adventures with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rescued from a dairy farm, Reggie has been given a second chance at the life every calf deserves. Since coming into care, he has grown into a happy, healthy boy with a beautiful nature and a personality that&#8217;s impossible not to love.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reggie is a social and confident boy. Having been raised around calves and adult cows, he enjoys the company of his bovine friends. He&#8217;s curious about the world around him, loves being involved in daily activities, and is always ready to greet you with his gentle, friendly nature.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reggie would thrive in a home where he can continue to enjoy companionship, plenty of love, and all the little things that make life special. If you&#8217;re looking for a loyal friend with a big heart and an even bigger future ahead of him, Reggie could be the perfect addition to your family.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Could Reggie be the missing piece in your herd and your heart? 🤎</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you think that you could provide  Reggie with a loving home, please click the <strong>‘Apply to adopt‘ </strong>button below to contact us and start your adoption journey today.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By opening your home to Reggie, you not only gain the joy of adding a companion to your life, but your decision to adopt also has a life-changing impact on the lives of other calves. For every calf adopted, another can be rescued.   </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every year, thousands of farm animals are born through breeding programs designed for various purposes, most commonly for their milk, offspring, meat, or fur. A small fraction of farm animals that are born in breeding programs get to experience a happy, loving life, becoming cherished companions and remaining safe from the moment they are born.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>In the world of breeding animals, it is inevitable that some animals are born with physical or genetic deficiencies. These can range from minor to severe. On commercial farms, animals that fail to thrive or meet perfection standards are often quickly “disposed of.” On smaller farms, breeders are faced with the difficult decision of whether the time, care, and financial resources required to support an animal with special needs are feasible.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Willow and Maple were born into a world that once questioned their right to exist in harmony. We can’t share all the details of their rescue, but we know that thanks to the generosity of donors, Willow and Maple&nbsp;are safe and they’ll have a future filled with harmony and love.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Willow and Maple are ready to find their forever home, where they will be loved as a <strong>companion, not commodities.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet Maple and Willow, a delightful goat duo ready to bring joy and excitement to their new family. Full of personality and charm, these two young goats are inseparable friends who thrive on playfulness and companionship.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Willow is the adventurous spirit of the pair, known for her love of climbing and exploring new heights. She is independent and fits in wonderfully with other animals, creating harmony wherever she roams. Willow is drawn to fun, and her curiosity often brings Maple along on new adventures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maple, too, has a zest for life. Super-friendly, she is the first to greet you at the gate, eagerly seeking scratches and attention. Her sociable and affectionate demeanour makes her a wonderful companion, always ready to share a cuddle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both Maple and Willow are eager learners and would benefit from early training to establish boundaries and appropriate behaviour. A gentle squirt from a water bottle will guide them, and their natural intelligence makes them quick to learn. While the girls have shown no signs of bunting people at their foster home, occasional horn trims or the use of tennis balls on their tips can help ensure safe playtime.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Willow and Maple would flourish in a loving home with space to roam, kind hands to offer reassurance and the companionship they continue to thrive on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have room in your heart and home for Willow and Maple, please click the ‘Apply to adopt’ button below to start your journey.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By opening your home to Maple and Willow,&nbsp;not only do you gain the joy of adding companions to your life, but your decision to adopt also has a life-changing impact on the lives of other animals. For every animal adopted, another can be rescued.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each year in Australia, thousands of animals are listed for adoption.&nbsp;Animals that once had a safe place, now facing an unknown future.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Due to rising living costs, family pressures, and natural disasters &#8211; what was once&nbsp;feasible&nbsp;is no longer possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rehoming a cherished&nbsp;companion&nbsp;is often viewed as giving up&nbsp;on the animal&nbsp;or taking the&nbsp;easy way&nbsp;out to avoid effort.&nbsp;Yes,&nbsp;heartbreakingly&nbsp;sometimes, pets are surrendered too quickly, and the owners&#8217; original commitment is lost.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, Ronald, Stephen and Angelo&#8217;s story&nbsp;is&nbsp;different.&nbsp;Surrendered&nbsp;by their&nbsp;carer&nbsp;as an act of selflessness during&nbsp;a difficult time. This was not an easy decision and only made when there were no other options.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We take the safety and protection of those who trust us with their beloved animals very seriously. So, we&nbsp;cannot&nbsp;disclose&nbsp;the reasons behind&nbsp;Ronald, Stephen and Angelo&#8217;s&nbsp;rehoming. But&nbsp;know&nbsp;that&nbsp;this decision comes with&nbsp;immense&nbsp;heartbreak and sadness.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This rehoming decision&nbsp;required&nbsp;courage&nbsp;and&nbsp;strength.&nbsp;And&nbsp;one that&nbsp;shouldn’t&nbsp;be judged.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We know this community is filled with loving and compassionate souls who will come together to support Ronald, Stephen and Angelo&#8217;s rehoming and, in turn, support the&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;person&nbsp;who has given them so much love and care over the years.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ronald, Stephen and Angelo are ready to find their new home where they will continue to be loved as&nbsp;<strong>companions, not commodities.</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‼️ <strong>Ronald, Stephen and Angelo</strong> <strong>need to be adopted by early June 2026.</strong>‼️<strong>&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

The flock gets along harmoniously and has shared a paddock with two steers and a horse. They’ve picked up the cheeky habit of slipping under fences, so their new home will need <strong>secure, tight fencing</strong>.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each year in Australia, thousands of animals are listed for adoption.&nbsp;Animals that once had a safe place, now facing an unknown future.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Due to rising living costs, family pressures, and natural disasters &#8211; what was once&nbsp;feasible&nbsp;is no longer possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rehoming a cherished&nbsp;companion&nbsp;is often viewed as giving up&nbsp;on the animal&nbsp;or taking the&nbsp;easy way&nbsp;out to avoid effort.&nbsp;Yes,&nbsp;heartbreakingly&nbsp;sometimes, pets are surrendered too quickly, and the owners&#8217; original commitment is lost.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>However, Eve&#8217;s&nbsp;story&nbsp;is&nbsp;different</strong>.&nbsp;Surrendered&nbsp;by their&nbsp;carer&nbsp;as an act of selflessness during&nbsp;a difficult time. This was not an easy decision and only made when there were no other options.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We take the safety and protection of those who trust us with their beloved animals very seriously. So, we&nbsp;cannot&nbsp;disclose&nbsp;the reasons behind&nbsp;Eve&#8217;s&nbsp;rehoming. But&nbsp;know&nbsp;that&nbsp;this decision comes with&nbsp;immense&nbsp;heartbreak and sadness.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This rehoming decision&nbsp;required&nbsp;courage&nbsp;and&nbsp;strength.&nbsp;And&nbsp;one that&nbsp;shouldn’t&nbsp;be judged.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We know this community is filled with loving and compassionate souls who will come together to support Eve’s rehoming and, in turn, support the beautiful person who has given Eve so much love and care over the years.  Eve is ready to find a new home where she will continue to be loved as a <strong>companion, not a commodity. </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‼️ <strong>Eve needs to be adopted by early June.</strong>‼️<strong>&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet Eve, a resilient thoroughbred whose past has been marked by hardship, but who has never lost her spirit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After enduring the demands of horse racing, Eve spent years as a broodmare, isolated and valued only for breeding. When she was no longer considered useful, she was dumped and left to fend for herself. Thankfully, she was given a second chance and has since flourished into a loving companion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eve is affectionate in her own way &#8211; she’ll often come when called, loves snacks (especially licorice), enjoys a pat, and will happily cuddle when she’s in the mood. She lives alongside another pony, sheep, and cows, and is comfortable around other animals. While she enjoys company, Eve can be protective around food and doesn’t like animals crowding her space, so she will need understanding handlers who can respect her boundaries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She is generally excellent for the farrier, floats well, can be led on a halter, and is up to date with worming, vet checks, and hoof care. Eve is broken in but <strong>cannot be ridden</strong>, even for light exercise. During winter, she loses weight quickly and benefits from extra feeding and a thick rug, which will be provided.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eve is looking for a calm, experienced home where she can continue to feel safe and cared for. Ideally, her adopter will have horse experience or a strong support network to help guide them in her care. Eve would also love a home with animal companions to keep her company.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you think you could provide Eve with the loving home she deserves, please click the “Apply to Adopt” button below to begin the adoption process. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">🛻 Ideally, adopters would be able to collect Eve, but if needed, please speak with the adoption team &#8211; our priority is finding her the right home, and we will support adopters where possible.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet Randy and Pauly, two steers who are&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;in both personality and appearance. Hand-raised with love and care since their rescue from a dairy farm as calves, they have grown into affectionate companions.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Randy, who loves attention, is always the first to come over and say hello. He&nbsp;isn’t&nbsp;afraid to use his big voice to welcome you. Randy also enjoys giving kisses all around, especially if you have his&nbsp;favourite&nbsp;treat: white bread! Be sure to hold onto the bag tightly, as Randy can easily eat a whole loaf in one sitting if he gets the chance.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Typically, Randy will come over when called and adores spending time with his best friend, Pauly. He is good with fencing and loves to roam freely in the spacious paddocks.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pauly complements Randy&#8217;s enthusiastic approach to life with his more introverted&nbsp;and calm&nbsp;personality. Pauly loves a scratch behind the ears and&nbsp;isn’t&nbsp;afraid to use his voice when he wants&nbsp;some love and attention. Pauly takes a slow&nbsp;approach&nbsp;to life,&nbsp;moving in ‘slow motion’ most of the time.&nbsp;Pauly also enjoys a treat of bread, but it often takes a bit more patience to coax him over, but&nbsp;he&#8217;ll&nbsp;come around in his own time.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You’ll&nbsp;often find Pauly and Randy side by side grazing in the paddocks,&nbsp;skipping down the laneway of the&nbsp;property&nbsp;or&nbsp;socialising&nbsp;with the sheep.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Randy and Pauly have been paddocked with sheep and horses, and they are good around dogs. Randy and Pauly are good with children and have had a lot of exposure to children from 5 to 15 years of age. Randy and&nbsp;Pauly&#8217;s carer&nbsp;shares that they are<strong>&nbsp;‘exceptionally good with all&nbsp;humans’</strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Randy and Pauly’s&nbsp;carer&nbsp;loves&nbsp;everything about&nbsp;these two&nbsp;boys&#8217; personalities&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;there&nbsp;isn’t&nbsp;anything she would change about them.&nbsp;Saying goodbye to Randy and Pauly is a decision that comes with sadness and heartbreak.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gertie’s story begins in the harshest of places. She entered the world at the sale yards—just hours before her mother was due to be sent to slaughter. Had she been born even an hour later, we don&#8217;t know what would have happened.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A kind-hearted rescuer saw that Gertie was left alone, waiting to be euthanised. Where many may simply turn away, blanketed by the excuse of &#8220;this is how it is always done&#8221;,– they chose compassion and saved her life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first priority was keeping Gertie alive. So the kind souls secured her rescue with the sale yard. They took her to their backyard, into their home, where they knew she could not stay, but at least she was safe in the meantime.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then, they heard about &#8216;Til The Cows Come Home and got in touch with our team seeking help to take over her care.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gertie made the long journey to one of our foster homes straight away. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After spending time in foster care, she was adopted by a lovely person who had big dreams of giving Gertie a forever home. Unfortunately, things took a turn, and her adopter faced the heartbreaking decision to return Gertie to Til The Cows Come Home &#8211; keeping Gertie&#8217;s best interests in mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gertie returned to her original foster home as though she had never left, settling in with a quiet sense of belonging. Her resilience to this change speaks volumes- a gentle reminder of the profound difference compassion and care can make, as Gertie knew that she was back in a safe place. <br><br><span>Gertie is ready to find her new home as a </span><strong><span>compani</span>on, not a commodity.&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most farm animals have a longer life expectancy than many domestic pets. Various breeds of farm animals can live beyond 20 years, which means their owners must be prepared for a long-term commitment that includes providing&nbsp;appropriate feed, meeting ongoing healthcare needs, and ensuring that they have suitable living conditions. Sadly, for these animals, their owner’s life circumstances can change, leaving them in need of a new home.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rehoming a beloved companion is a difficult reality that many pet owners face, whether it be domestic or farm animals.&nbsp;&nbsp;While some owners may sadly give up on their companions, others will make every effort to ensure that these animals are loved just as much—or even more—in their next home.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Farm animals are at&nbsp;a high risk&nbsp;of being rehomed to someone who views them as commodities.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks to the kind support and generosity of donors, Til The Cows is able to offer a safe rehoming service for farm animals, ensuring they do not end up in the wrong hands and will continue to be cherished as <strong>companions, </strong>not <strong>commodities.</strong>   </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet Wilson and Greg, two gentle survivors with big hearts and beautiful brown eyes. Rescued as calves from a dairy farm, this charming pair shares a close bond.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks to dedicated caretakers, a &#8220;magic unicorn rug,&#8221; and lots of love, Greg has recovered from multiple infections and is now thriving as a grown steer. Both have developed into friendly, healthy companions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wilson and Greg are seeking a new, loving home where they can offer gentle companionship and bring joy. They enjoy simple pleasures: roaming pastures, grazing on rich grass and hay, and their favourite treats &#8211; cruskits and bread.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While Greg is slightly more outgoing and Wilson can be a bit boisterous, both are comfortable with hand-feeding. Their current caretaker can confidently approach and be with them in the paddock. For safety, it’s advised that children observe and hand-feed from the other side of the fence (this applies to all large animals, not just Greg and Wilson).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They currently live peacefully with llama friends.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wilson and Greg would suit someone with a large property who wants friendly, peaceful animals as companions or lawnmowers. They can be a bit boisterous with their horns, but not aggressively.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wilson and Greg need to find a new home by May due to recent bushfires that have affected their current home. A $500 contribution towards transportation costs is offered to support their relocation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you think that you could provide Wilson and Greg with a loving home, please click the <strong>‘Apply to adopt‘ </strong>button below to contact us and start your adoption journey today.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">🚚 Transport to be determined upon adoption application. The adopter will need to cover part of the cost of using a professional transporter, with the owner and the charity contributing a total of $500. Adoption donation applies.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every year, over&nbsp;<a href="https://www.alv.org.au/the-facts/issues/lambs-and-sheep/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">22 million lambs</a>&nbsp;are slaughtered in Australia alone. This staggering number&nbsp;doesn’t&nbsp;account for the countless lives lost before they even reach slaughter—lambs who&nbsp;fail to&nbsp;thrive&nbsp;after birth&nbsp;and are left for death, die during birth, or are dispatched on farms&nbsp;being&nbsp;deemed&nbsp;“unviable”.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lambs are primarily valued for their flesh&nbsp;and are&nbsp;slaughtered&nbsp;as babies&nbsp;at&nbsp;just&nbsp;6&nbsp;to 8 months old, never experiencing the fullness of life.&nbsp;When&nbsp;given the opportunity&nbsp;to live a full life,&nbsp;sheep can live 10 to 12 years on average, and some can even reach 20 years.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lambs endure immense suffering during their&nbsp;short time&nbsp;on earth.&nbsp;It&nbsp;is common for lambs to&nbsp;undergo painful procedures such as live lamb cutting (Muesing) and tail docking, often without any pain relief. After enduring these painful&nbsp;treatments,&nbsp;they are then loaded and transported for many hours to reach their&nbsp;final destination:&nbsp;the slaughterhouse.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While live lamb cutting has been banned in New Zealand due to its cruelty, it&nbsp;remains&nbsp;legal in Australia and many other countries.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Though some lambs are fortunate enough to be rescued or find loving homes, like Zebby,&nbsp;sadly,&nbsp;these cases are the exception to the millions that&nbsp;don’t. Those who cannot be saved hold a place in our hearts and aren’t forgotten.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks to the generosity of our community and donors, one more life has been saved.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now healthy and feeling cared for, Zebby is ready to find their forever home where he will be loved as<strong> a companion, not a commodity.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet Zebby, the adorable little lamb who is a true pocket rocket, bursting with energy and always ready for his next adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zebby was found alone in a paddock. After attempts to find his human family, the people who found him were unable to reunite him. They took the little lamb to a local vet clinic. Zebby wasn&#8217;t in a good way, so they ran some tests and decided that the best treatment plan for him was a plasma infusion, as they don’t believe he received much, if any, colostrum from his Mum. This was the point when the vet had to see if anyone wanted to take this lamb on and fund his required treatment. With the support of donors, we were able to take this lamb into our care and take over his ownership, ensuring he would get the infusion he needed and a loving life going forward.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fast forward to now, Zebby has a zest for life that&#8217;s infectious and will brighten your day with his joyful antics. Zebby has a strong need for companionship, so his new home should include another animal who enjoys lively play and plenty of affection.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zebby is still bottle feeding but is beginning to munch on oaten chaff and explore the taste of Lucerne chaff. He is also progressively drinking small amounts of water from a bucket. His early plasma infusion has set him up for excellent health, and he is hitting all his milestones.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zebby loves to explore and meet new animal friends, and his daily routine now includes wandering down to the other animals where he sweetly greets each one through the fence. His enthusiasm for companionship is heartwarming. With his playful personality, Zebby needs a household where he can share his adventures and boundless love with a suitable furry companion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zebby, affectionately nicknamed Zeb-Zeb or Zebinator, brings immense joy and laughter to his foster family. While it will be tough to part with him, Zebby is ready to enrich a new home with his love and spirit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re looking for a vibrant and affectionate companion, Zebby could be the perfect addition to your family, filling each day with love and delightful adventures. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you think that you could provide Zebby with a loving home, please click the&nbsp;<strong>‘Apply to adopt</strong>‘ button below.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By opening your home to Zebby,&nbsp;you not only gain the joy of adding a companion to your life, but your decision to adopt also has a life-changing impact on the lives of other animals. For every animal adopted, another can be rescued.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Timon and Pumbaa were taken from their mothers shortly after birth &#8211; a beginning no living being deserves. They were rescued from the brutal realities of a dairy farm. In an industry that often sees calves as nothing more than byproducts of their mothers&#8217; milk, the unwanted ones are penned aside, waiting for the &#8220;bobby truck&#8221; to take them to the slaughterhouse, or they are killed on the farm. Over 400,000 calves born on dairy farms each year face this heartbreaking end.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Male calves born on dairy farms are often considered &#8216;waste” or “surplus&#8217; because they provide little financial benefit to the dairy farmer, as they can&#8217;t be reared and used as future milkers. While some female calves stay on the farm for future milking, there is frequently a surplus of females born. These calves face the same fate as the males. 💔</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Timon and Pumbaa were among the lucky ones to be rescued, but sadly, this isn’t the reality for hundreds of thousands of calves born on dairy farms each year. Thanks to the generosity of our community and donors, two more lives have been saved. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now healthy and feeling cared for, Timon and Pumbaa are ready to find their forever home where they will be loved as <strong>companions, not commodities.&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
