FARS’ mission is to provide a safe haven where the animals can live out their days freely, healthily and happily, to ensure the needs of the animals are taken care of, and to guarantee the continual upkeep of the sanctuary. Veterinary care and medication is provided as needed, all funded by our amazing supporters Friends of the Animals and all animals in our care are constantly monitored to ensure their good health and well being.

The animals residing at the sanctuary come from far and wide, arriving in various states of health, many having been rescued from dreadful cruelty and/or poor living conditions. Some are well loved pets whose owners, due to unforeseen circumstances, can no longer care for them, whilst others have escaped the horrendous live export trade. These, though, are the lucky few, who are fortunate to land at the doorstep of Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary, greeted by Carole with open, loving arms.

These emotionally, intelligent creatures are too often dismissed as stupid and worthless and yet they show remarkable affection and gentleness once their fear has been dispelled.

They are also equally capable of forming loving bonds, just like any household pet. They recognise faces and will greet visitors they know just as your pet would after your day at work.
