<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3" style="color:#4c2f26">Spared from the dairy industry as a sick newborn, Murray is now a gentle giant looking for his forever home.</h2>



<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 owners’ 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 a domestic or farm animal.&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">Murray is being rehomed due to the sale of property, not because of any fault of his own.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When his current family arrived at a dairy farm to adopt a calf, they found little Murray, only a week old, on the ground and desperately unwell. In an industry that often views male calves as mere byproducts, they were told to simply take a different calf instead. But his family knew they couldn&#8217;t leave him behind. They took him home and carefully nursed him back to health.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks to their unconditional love, Murray survived. He has spent his life safe and cherished, and now, thanks to the kind support and generosity of our donors, &#8216;Til The Cows is able to offer a safe rehoming service for animals like Murray, 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>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4" style="color:#4c2f26"><strong>Keep reading to learn more about</strong> Murray. </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet Murray, a quiet, friendly giant of the paddock.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hand-raised, Murray has grown into an incredibly gentle steer who absolutely loves human company. If you spend time with him in the paddock, you can expect him to wander over to greet you with a friendly lick. He is more than happy to stand quietly while you brush his coat, soaking up all the attention you have to offer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Murray is famously easy to please and doesn&#8217;t dislike anything – especially when it comes to food! His absolute favourite treat is bread, and he’s known to have a rather adventurous palate (he once cheekily ate a pair of undies right off the clothesline!).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite his massive size, Murray is a gentle soul who gets along well with everyone. He currently shares his paddock peacefully with sheep and lambs, and he has previously lived happily alongside horses and other cattle. He is wonderfully adaptable and would fit perfectly into a mixed-species mini herd, or make a wonderful companion for another placid steer or cow.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are looking for a big, goofy, loving giant to complete your paddock family, Murray is waiting to meet you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have the space, pasture, and love to give Murray a home, please click the <strong>‘Apply to adopt’</strong>&nbsp;button below to contact us and start your adoption journey today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>More information:</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">❤️ <strong>Personality:</strong>&nbsp;A very large, gentle, and quiet Holstein steer. Loves being brushed, hand-fed, and giving kisses. Gets along with sheep, lambs, horses, and cattle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">🌱 <strong>Diet:</strong>&nbsp;Murray is fed lucerne hay and all-purpose pellets. He loves bread as a special treat!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">🤎 <strong>Documentation:</strong>&nbsp;All adopters receive an adoption letter and an animal profile that outlines all medical treatments the animal has received. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">❓ <strong>Support:</strong>&nbsp;We offer pre- and post-adoption support to adopters so you are never alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">✅ <strong>Biosecurity:</strong>&nbsp;We adhere to biosecurity obligations, which include having a PIC number, NLIS tags, and completing the necessary movement paperwork (eNVD and movement record). We can provide advice and support throughout this process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">🚚 Transport to be determined upon adoption application. But depending on distnace, Murray&#8217;s owner has offered to support the adoption by transporting Murray to his new home. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Murray has now found his forever home. </strong></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7" style="color:#4c2f26">Spared from the life of being dairy cows, Dottie and Daisy are now looking for a new forever home.</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Born on a dairy farm, Dottie and Daisy’s fate was decided from the very start &#8211; were they considered valuable or not? In an industry that often views calves as mere byproducts, many are stripped from their mothers shortly after birth, destined for slaughter or left to perish when deemed unviable.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Females born on dairy farms are often kept for future milk production – a life of being milked continuously before facing the sad fate of the slaughter truck once their milk production decreases at around 5 years of age. Many female calves, like Dottie and Daisy, are born as “surplus” and are also deemed as “waste” when dairy farmers don’t need more female cows to raise for future milking.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dottie and Daisy were among the fortunate ones to have been rescued; 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 spared.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After spending the past four years in foster care, Dottie and Daisy are being rehomed to make space for more rescues in need. A full foster home can’t accommodate other animals waiting for help. Thanks to a caring and dedicated team, Dottie and Daisy will soon move to a new, loving home where they’ll continue to be cherished as <strong>companions, not commodities.</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet Dottie and Daisy, a sweet duo of confident, sassy heifers looking for a new family to call their own. Full of personality and charm, these girls keep life entertaining and are sure to make a lasting impression.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Daisy is the more outgoing of the pair and absolutely loves human attention. She&#8217;ll happily soak up head scratches, pats all over, and is content to sit quietly beside you, enjoying your company. Dottie, on the other hand, is a little more reserved. While she also enjoys head scratches and affection, it&#8217;s always on her own terms, and she&#8217;s not one to sit close by like Daisy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together, Dottie and Daisy confidently rule their herd of steers. They&#8217;re full of sass and aren&#8217;t afraid to let everyone know who&#8217;s in charge, especially when food is involved. These girls are incredibly food motivated and become very excited at feeding time. They&#8217;ll eagerly push their way to the front, and if they think you have food, they&#8217;ll do everything they can to get it. For this reason, it&#8217;s important that their adopter understands their enthusiasm around food and manages feeding times carefully.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Their excitement doesn&#8217;t stop at rushing over for treats. Dottie and Daisy can become quite boisterous when hay is being put out, swinging their horns around with excitement while you remove strings from hay bales. They may also use their horns to try to reach food they&#8217;re after, so it&#8217;s important to exercise caution during feeding and never carry food into their paddock unnecessarily.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite their food obsession, they&#8217;re not fussy eaters. Their diet consists of grass and hay, but they certainly won&#8217;t say no to a special treat of bread or Weet-Bix.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dottie and Daisy would thrive in a spacious home where they have plenty of room to graze, explore, and express their larger-than-life personalities. They are best suited to adopters who appreciate confident cattle and understand how to safely manage animals that are highly food motivated. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;re looking for a pair of entertaining, affectionate, and wonderfully sassy girls, Dottie and Daisy could be the perfect addition to your family. Please click the <strong>‘Apply to adopt‘ </strong>button below to contact us and start your adoption journey today.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">🚚 Transport to be determined upon adoption application approval. The adopter will need to contribute $200 to transport costs. Adoption donation applies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Daisy and Dottie have now been adopted. 🤎</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11" style="color:#4c2f26">Found frail and undernourished in a petting zoo, Florence was rescued and lovingly hand-raised. Now, this sweet girl is searching for her forever home and a bovine best friend.</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the early 1990s, mobile petting zoos have been part of Australia&#8217;s history as a form of &#8220;entertainment&#8221; or &#8220;education&#8221;. Often found in shopping centres, agricultural shows, carnivals or educational institutions. These petting zoo displays can run for up to <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f31e14e89237f65ccad168b/t/607296c01fa31b07e8ae31e7/1618122433827/Exhibited-Animals-Standards-for-Exhibiting-Animals-at-Mobile-Establishments-in-New-South-Wales-February-2019.pdf">14 consecutive days at a time</a>, and beyond with approval. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Baby animals are primarily the highlight of petting zoos, drawing crowds with their tiny features and cute faces. Against their will, baby animals are picked up, chased, cornered, held, and at times even dropped during these petting zoo events. The animals at these events endure the loud sounds of music, the screams of excited children, and other noise pollution &#8211; all of which causes great stress to these animals. 💔</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As baby animals mature, they lose their &#8220;cute&#8221; appeal, making them less attractive to the young children who are the primary audience of petting zoos. At the same time, they become more expensive to feed, house, and care for, making these growing animals less viable to keep.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then there is the question: what happens to the animals that outgrow the petting zoo environment? The outcome for these animals varies between companies. Some animals take part in a breeding program or are kept, while others are sold for various uses or, in some cases, slaughtered. This is the heartbreaking hidden reality of the petting zoo industry when animals are no longer useful to the business. The cycle then continues as these animals are replaced by new baby animals. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like many animals before her, Florence was barely one week old when she was put in a petting zoo. At one glance, a bystander could see she was clearly undernourished and vulnerable; she was already experiencing the harsh realities of existing as a commodity in a petting zoo.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The sadness in Florence’s eyes couldn’t be overlooked as the bystander became her saviour and offered to take this little calf. Through this individual act of kindness, Florence’s future began to look brighter instantly. Florence was hand-fed by her rescuer, and she began to flourish into the beautiful girl she is today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While Florence&#8217;s family gave her a wonderful start to life and provided her with a safe haven, she is now ready to find her forever home.&nbsp;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, &#8216;Til&nbsp;The&nbsp;Cows&nbsp;is able to&nbsp;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&nbsp;<strong>companions,&nbsp;</strong>not&nbsp;<strong>commodities.</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet Florence, a beautiful-natured and affectionate cow who is ready to capture your heart.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Florence’s story began in a petting zoo, where she was found at just a week old – undernourished and in desperate need of care. Thankfully, a compassionate family stepped in, rescuing her and lovingly bottle-raising her.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Florence has grown into a friendly, confident girl who trusts and absolutely adores human company. However, she now needs a new home that is more suitable for her.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Florence is incredibly sociable and will happily come when called. She thrives on interaction, and her absolute favourite things are a gentle rub behind the ears or a sweet scratch on her nose. She gets very excited to see her humans, especially if she suspects you are bringing her food! Because of her eagerness for treats, she has a habit of affectionately nudging with her horns. While she means no harm, this is something to be mindful of during feeding times.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Florence currently shares her paddock with two pet sheep and gets along wonderfully with the family dog. However, as much as she loves her animal friends, her greatest need is a home where she can experience the companionship of her own kind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Florence is looking for a forever home with an existing cow (one or more) where she can bond, share pastures, and live out her days safely and happily. If you are looking for a beautiful, affectionate girl to complete your pasture, Florence will bring endless joy to your life.</p>



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



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you think that you could provide Florence with a loving home, please contact us and start your adoption journey today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By opening your home to Florence, 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 rescue animals. For every animal adopted, another can be rescued.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">🤎 Florence’s new home must have other companion cows (or at least one) for her to bond with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">🐮 Florence has horns, so adopters with children must be mindful of the accidental injuries they can cause. Interactions with kids are best over a fence and should be carefully managed by an adult. A vet can also trim the tip of the horn, which is known as &#8220;Horn Tipping&#8221;. This procedure is non-invasive and just removes the sharp points.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">🚚 Transport to be determined upon adoption application. The adopter will need to contribute to transport costs, which will be discussed before the adoption is accepted. Adoption donation applies.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pigs, goats, horses, foxes, kangaroos, deer, and rabbits are just some of the victims of hunters in Australia. &nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ella, George, and Paris are three baby goats who were found alone, scared, and vulnerable after hunters were “clearing goats” from private land. Their mothers were nowhere to be found and are believed to have been killed.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When lactating females are shot, their dependent young can become separated from them. Without their mothers’ milk and care, these young kids are unlikely to survive.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If a lactating mother is shot, hunters are expected to make reasonable attempts to find the dependent young and euthanise them. If the dependent isn’t found, it will likely perish slowly from starvation, dehydration, exposure or predators.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both outcomes are heartbreaking to think about. 💔&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fortunately, the cries of George, Ella, and Paris were heard from afar. Their rescuers located the abandoned kids and, with the landowner’s permission, were able to remove them and take them to safety.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks to our generous community, Ella, George, and Paris are under the care of a loving foster carer while they wait for their forever home, where they will be cherished as <strong>companions, not commodities.</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-19" style="color:#4c2f26">Moose has come a long way &#8211; from protruding bones and fear &#8211; to health and trust.</h2>



<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>

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>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-23" style="color:#4c2f26">Victoria, Uki, and Winton were spared from the dairy industry and escaped the heartbreaking fate most bobby calves face.</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Taken away from their mothers shortly after birth, Victoria, Uki, and Winton have endured a traumatic start to life, a beginning no living being deserves. Victoria, Uki, and Winton were rescued from the harsh realities of a dairy farm. In an industry that often views calves as mere byproducts, many are stripped from their mothers shortly after birth, destined for slaughter or left to perish when deemed unviable. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Male calves born on dairy farms are commonly&nbsp;deemed&nbsp;as “waste” or “surplus”,&nbsp;as they offer little financial gain to the farmer. These calves are often “disposed of” on the farm or sent on a truck to a slaughterhouse.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Similarly, females born on dairy farms are often kept for future milk production – a life of being milked continuously before facing the sad fate of the slaughter truck once their milk production decreases at around 5 years of age. Many female calves, like Victoria, are born as “surplus” and are also deemed as “waste” when dairy farmers don’t need more female cows to raise for future milking. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Victoria, Uki, and Winton were among the fortunate ones to have been rescued; 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, three more lives have been spared.  </p>



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

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When little Qwill came into this world, she barely had a chance to take her first breath before tragedy struck.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Born on a farm and likely slightly premature, Qwill’s first day should have been spent close to her mother, learning her warmth, listening to her heartbeat, and feeling safe for the very first time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead, she was caught in a tragic on-farm accident that left her with a fractured hip socket.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At less than a day old, she was taken to the vet to be euthanised. But fate had other plans.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because the vet who saw her knew of Til The Cows Come Home, they called our team and said, “There’s a calf here who deserves a chance. Can you help?&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And because of your kindness, we could say yes. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="16" width="16" alt="🤎" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t46/1/16/1f90e.png"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Qwill required life-saving treatment and round-the-clock care. Because of our donors, that was all possible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today, Qwill goes for her daily strolls with her Foster Carers, something we didn&#8217;t know if she would ever be able to do <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="16" width="16" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t9b/1/16/1f97a.png" alt="🥺"><br><br>Qwill is now thriving and excited to start her life at her forever home, where she will be loved and cared for as a <strong>companion, not a commodity. </strong></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-31" style="color:#4c2f26">Reggie was rescued alongside seven other calves. Each precious soul was facing on-farm euthanasia, a grim fate that they were lucky to escape.</h2>



<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">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">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>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet Ronald, Stephen, and Angelo, three beautiful wethers. With a friendly personality, they love pats and enjoy interacting with people. Stephen and Angelo are especially playful. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Come prepared with bread when you visit them in the paddock, as they enjoy bread as a snack. 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>. Most days, they’re content grazing in the paddock, but they also love indulging in hay and sheep pellets.</p>
