a Safe
Forever Home
POHP provides a permanent home to over 150 farm animals, including horses, Highland cows, Holsteins, goats, sheep, geese, Kune Kune and potbelly pigs, a llama, alpacas, chickens and even two peacocks—a male and female who all proudly call POHP their forever home.
While we are not an animal rescue in the traditional sense, the animals
here serve as ambassadors for their kind, living safe, protected lives, free from harm that might otherwise have come to them.
Their STORIES
Whilst many of our extended family were saved from immediate danger and would have already met with cruel endings had they not found a home here, others have been saved from slaughter because their owners were kind enough to let them live out their lives in peace.
A few (such as two of the pigs) are lucky enough to have come from homes where they were already cherished, but were allowed to come to us because their people recognised the value of allowing others to connect with them. A small number have actually been born here.
THE POHP COMMUNITY
Each animal is a unique individual with their own personality, adding to the vibrant community of the sanctuary. POHP operates solely on private funding, supported by a core group of dedicated individuals who share our vision and give selflessly. And while the needs of our animals are constant, thanks to our supporters, they are well-
fed and cared for. POHP has no staff costs, everyone freely gives their time on a voluntary basis.
SEEKING FUNDING
In addition to covering daily necessities we have several ongoing projects critical to the comfort and security of our animals, as well as the efficient
operation of the sanctuary. These include an urgent need for extensive fencing to expand pasture areas, and the construction of a large communal barn equipped with power and water.
We are actively seeking funding to bring these essential projects to life and ensure the sanctuary continues to thrive.
