February 2019 Update

Amazing!! You have raised over $50k towards our 2019 Bushfire and Drought Appeal. With your generosity, you enabled the evacuation and safe return of the sanctuary's 120 rescue animals through the unprecedented bushfire situation that threatened the sanctuary. Plus all feed and medical bills whilst the animals were away for the six week evacuation period. The remaining funds have been put towards transportation and purchase of hay and feed helping us through winter and the ongoing drought situation.

Thank you to all who have donated and shared our crowdfunder. We appreciate your support beyond words. Our Bushfire/Drought Appeal is now closed but we still need your continued support.

Debbie Pearce, Founder, Where Pigs Fly Farm Sanctuary

Who we are

Where Pigs Fly Farm Sanctuary is located at Laguna in the lower Hunter Valley in New South Wales. Some 120 farmed animals currently call the sanctuary home. Most have come to us from cases of abuse, neglect or abandonment. At Where Pigs Fly, the animal residents are free to be themselves and live their lives free from harm and suffering.

Impacted by drought and fires

Already impacted by the ongoing drought in New South Wales, the last few weeks has seen the sanctuary become increasingly surrounded by bushfires, some of which continue to burn out of control and dangerously close to us.

At the time of writing, the fire at Gospers Mountain is over 226,000 hectares in size and a new fire in the Yengo National Park is currently burning out of control and moving in a south-easterly direction, towards the sanctuary.

Relocating to safety

With the enormity of the fires apparent and the safety of all residents being the number one priority, a decision was made early on to evacuate as many of the animal residents as possible. Most of our animal friends have now been temporarily relocated to safety at various properties around New South Wales and we are eternally grateful to those who have opened their homes to care for our residents during this difficult time.

However, achieving this has been no small undertaking. The amount of effort from everyone involved with the hands on relocation work has been immeasurable, but it's taken a financial toll too, with the cost of transporting everyone to safety, providing feed at their various locations and of course the impending cost of transporting everyone home once the danger has passed.

How you can help

We're aiming to raise $40,000 to assist with the cost of transportation and feed for our temporarily relocated residents and also to purchase a bulk order of six months' worth of hay to see us through the ongoing drought.

The estimated cost for the hay purchase is a total of $32,000 and includes large round bales, small and large square bales and bags of chaff to feed all the rescue animals who call Where Pigs Fly their forever home.
