Chester and Charlie were born into this world as the byproduct of their mother’s milk production – their life worth nothing more, a future uncertain. 

Just like humans, 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”.   

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.   

This is the heartbreaking reality thousands of calves face each day on dairy farms across Australia.   

Chester and Charlie’s destiny had different plans for them, rescued by our team, they were no longer facing a grim reality. 

Chester and Charlie 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 Chester and Charlie are ready to find their forever home where they will be loved as companions, not commodities.

Meet Chester and Charlie, two inseparable mates who, despite their contrasting personalities, have formed a beautiful connection. Rescued together, they’ve found solace in each other’s company and are now seeking a family who can give them the time, care, and love they need to thrive. 

Chester is a sweet, shy boy who takes his time to warm up to people. But once he trusts you, his love is unconditional. With a bit of tender care and some chin scratches, Chester will soon reveal his true, affectionate nature. He loves exploring his surroundings and often looks to his mate Charlie for guidance. You’ll always find Chester at the front of the line when it’s mealtime, eager for breakfast or dinner. 

Charlie, on the other hand, is a curious spirit with a zest for life. He loves nothing more than to explore his foster home, finding the perfect nap spot, and running zoomies in the yard. Charlie is always the first one out in the morning, ready to take on the day with boundless energy. He enjoys head and neck rubs and has a playful side that balances Chester’s reserved nature perfectly. 

These two are not just looking for any home – they need a loving environment where they can continue to grow together. Their ideal home will have plenty of space for them to roam and explore, and their new family will understand the unique needs of these sweet boys. Chester and Charlie would flourish with a family who can offer patience and love, helping them adjust from their past and enjoy a future filled with joy and security.
