Mārie is a small white and tan goat with a pink freckled nose. In the background behind her is a sign that says 'oh my goat'.

Oh my goat! Mārie is growing up so quickly! It's hard to believe Mārie was just a month old when she first arrived at the Black Sheep. She is now a year and a half and is doing really well 💙

Dinner time for Gherkin 🧡

Roscoe loves peanut butter! To make giving Roscoe his arthritis medication simple, we use peanut butter and molasses to disguise the taste of the tablets. Sometimes it's a bit messy but he always licks his lips afterwards to clean himself up and savour the taste!

Sirius, a black steer with a white spot on his forehead, has a mouthful of hay.

Breakfast time for Sirius 💙

Two sheep stand next to each other in a grassy paddock. One is white with a brown face, and one is white with a white face with a dark patch around his nose area.

Fennel and King 💚

Two roosters and a small goat are hanging out together inside of a house on top of a bed of straw.

What a wild wind we're having today!

While some of the animals are out and about braving the wind, others are tucked away inside their shelters. Mārie and her rooster friends, Goldie and Glowie, were all happily sharing a house 🥰

#animalrescue #animalsanctuary #cuteanimals #veganfortheanimals

Chook enrichment!

The roosters love it when they get extra treats throughout the day. Other swinging snacks we hang up for them are apple, cabbage, and lettuce 💜

The pigs love it when we do some gardening! Any grass that gets pulled out of the garden beds is given to the pigs as enrichment. They love eating the grass and rooting through any dirt clumps 🩷

King is such a cutie pie!

Did you know that sheep only have lower teeth at the front of their mouths? They have 8 lower incisors, and on the roof of the mouth above there is a hard dental pad.

Fennel is feeling better after recovering from a respiratory infection!

Recently, Fennel had green discharge coming from his nose and he was breathing very quickly. We had our vet up to see him and she prescribed 5 days of antibiotic injections. Thankfully Fennel is now back to his normal self 💜

Coffee breaks are better when there's a goat kid on your lap 🥰

Say hello to Poppy! This lovely little goat kid is around 3 and a half months old. She is a very sweet and affectionate goat kid and our crew have been more than happy to give her cuddles!

Today Lily took a trip to see our equine dentist! As always, she was very well-behaved. Lily needs to have dental appointments every 6 months to manage her ongoing teeth issues. She is always sedated for the procedures so that she remains calm and unbothered.

These two roosters are the best of friends! Whenever you see one of them around, you know the other has to be close by ❤️

This gorgeous rooster is Chip! But he has been given the nickname 'the love rooster' due to his many heart-shaped spots on his chest 🖤🖤🖤

How adorable is Teapot!? Out of all of our pigs, he definitely wins the award for fluffiest ears 💛

We've been having some intense wind up at the sanctuary, but that hasn't stopped Nooch from venturing out of their house to snack on some branches! Today's branch was kōhūhū/pittosporum 💚
