Meet our Geese

Lizzie and Clyde are our resident geese. Clyde lost his longtime mate and was heartbroken until Lizzie arrived from another rescue. The two bonded instantly and are now inseparable. They patrol the farm with pride, and for everyone’s safety, we give them their own private space during visiting hours. When the sanctuary is closed, they roam freely and enjoy swimming in the pond. Clyde has orange feet and a wattle. Lizzie has black and orange feet and her neck is smooth.

 

Meet our Chickens

Some of our chickens, called the “City Girls,” came from a church parking lot in downtown Asheville where they lived in a cramped pen with two goats, Matt and Mark. Life was noisy and stressful, but now they enjoy open space and sunshine. Alongside them are Rosie, Red, and Chickaletta, who share in the good life here.

Red, along with many of our chickens, came to us when bear attacks wiped out the rest of the flock. The owners no longer wished to keep chickens and luckily Red found her way to us.

Chickaletta was found in a cat carrier dumped on the side of the road. Without rescue, she would have succumbed to dehydration and starvation.

Sandra came to us from a cruelty case.
