Our Family

Lily is the friendliest of the geese we have here at the sanctuary, and once you have her trust, she loves to have lots of pats, especially under her wings

Conan

The first of our beak and feather cockatoos, Conan, estimated born in 2010, was originally found by a couple on the side of the road as a young chick.

Malayla

Very kindly purchased as a birthday present to save her from going to market, Malaya arrived at Liberation Sanctuary in May 2017.

Ponzo

You can't miss Ponzo, with her distinct half toothy smile.

Kang

Bottle fed for 3 months, the majestic Sambar deer Kang has called Liberation Sanctuary home since May 2016.

Salem

Salem made her own way to Liberation Sanctuary - she must’ve known she would be welcome here!

Lestat

Lestat was found roosting in a suburban backyard and handed in to a council pound. With only a few days to live, a team of kind people organised his rescue.

Yowie

Yowie was discovered partially blind and suffering from a painful eye infection that had been left untreated for months.

Duchess

Originally from a livestock farm, Duchess had found herself in a loving home before coming to Liberation Sanctuary in March 2021.

Ollie

Ollie joined the Liberation Sanctuary family as a bottle fed lamb in 2016.

Bill

At a few days old, Bill was found at a dairy tied to a fence with blue twine, without shelter, wet and freezing cold.

Nigel

Nigel is living his best life in his cockatoo mansion which he shares with fellow cockatoo Conan

Big Boy

Destined to be killed simply for being a male born into the dairy industry, Big Boy was rescued from slaughter.

Evie & Gilly

Evie, a feral cat, was kindly trapped by a rescue group to be spayed, however was already pregnant with Gilly and 3 others.

LuLu

Born in January 2009, LuLu was rescued at three months old from the Ballarat saleyards.

Minnie

Surrendered from a dairy farm weak and ill with Polio

Cimmaron

Being a mix of black and white, a combination that doesn't sell well, Cimmaron was destined to be "culled"

Pickles

Found abandoned in a cardboard box on the side of a Highway

Forrest

‘Mama always said: life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.’ Well this Forrest certainly hit the piggy jackpot, not once, but twice!

At 9 years old, Mary was no longer profitable for her wool or her ability to lamb, and therefore fated to be sold off to the highest bidder and slaughtered for "Mutton". The local farmer did not want to slaughter Mary, so instead surrendered her to us.
