  Kia ora 🐔🐃🐄🐂🐑🐷🐗🦤🦆🪽🦋🌿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
  
  Note: with our founders stepping back, we are amidst a massive move onto bare land; help is massively appreciated and we would so love to get to know you. We have a cosy little cabin but still setting up water for showers. Should have power and wifi in the next few days but still working on all the things. If you are still keen to come and happy to live a bit minimally, we would LOVE your help and could totally have an awesome time together getting stuff done.
  
  Welcome to our page. Myself (Andy) and my partner Dalina (we're a queer couple), are kaitiaki (guardians) of this animal sanctuary
  
  We are a vegan animal haven, rescue and permanent home to 21 moo kids - one is technically a sheep but he is very much part of the moo kid family. 4 sheep, 3pigs, 8 chickens plus Jayjay and some occasional wildlife friends.
  
  We are also a place of refuge for humans needing a healing space. This means that we may be aiding individuals in a vulnerable state or position. For this reason, we are exclusively seeking people who possess strong emotional intelligence, effective communication skills, and a calm demeanour. Generally speaking, we only have female or queer people stay as there are a lot of people struggling with male- specific trauma and needing space from a male dominated world. Males are also welcome to apply if mindful of this.
  
  We are committed to sustainable practices including minimizing consumerism, reforesting areas with native trees and not consuming animal products.
  
  Our daily lives include juggling my full time online work, Dalina's full time study (primary teaching), looking after all the kiddos plus the mammoth mammoth task of setting up and moving to an entirely new sanctuary site so we can keep these precious rescue kiddos safe.
  
  If you are keen to experience off grid animal loving living surrounded by nature, we would so so so love to hear from you!!

  Ayuda

  We are currently amidst a huge huge move and we would love a helping hand if you are willing.
  
  We will update all the details once we are moved and set up properly.
  
  Our work tends to be pretty physical with some less intensive projects ranging from propogating and planting trees, to piggy cuddle time, bringing hay and meds to the big moo kids, daily feeding and cleaning/special needs care routines, lots of fencing, lots of building, digging drains and lots more.

  Alojamiento

  We have a cosy little cabin with a mattress on the floor. Its very basic and minimal but also toasty warm and cosy. We are still setting up so dont yet have a waterline thiugh we will have water available for drinking and there is natural water nearby.
  
  Our sanctuary is vegan with our kids being almost exclusively rescued from the animal agriculture industries. We are also on a super tight budget. You absolutely do not have to be vegan to come here but you would need to be okay with eating vegan while you are here and keeping animal products off property.
