Cleveland (goat) Arrived 6th March 2019 Just as twins kids Bonnie and Clyde had settled in, we received a call from a local pound. A little goat had come into their care, and they asked if we could give him a home. The next day, we introduced Cleveland to his new friends Bonnie and Clyde, and pair became a trio. We were unable to determine how old Cleveland was when he came into our care, but we guessed he would have been about 3 weeks old. He was quite underweight,…

Bonnie & Clyde
Bonnie & Clyde (goats) Arrived 18th February 2019 In mid February (2019) we were contacted by someone who had taken in two orphaned goat kids. As they didn’t have adequate space to keep the goats long term, they decided to look for somewhere safe for siblings Bonnie and Clyde to go. That same day the roughly one-week-old kids arrived at the sanctuary. But not before stopping in for a quick health check at our vets. Clyde was a little flat and was scouring. It wasn’t long until he was back…
Toodyay Trio
Panda, her daughter Possum, and little Nugget were in foster care and looking for a loving home for some time, so we decided to give them a home at the sanctuary. Panda is about 3 years old and her daughter Possum is 4-5 months old, as is young Nugget. Panda has black patches around both eyes, hence the name Panda. Caramel-coloured Nugget is a Boar cross miniature, whilst Panda and her daughter Possum are Alpine cross miniatures. The goats are quite timid around humans due to previous neglect, but they’ll have lots of new…
Oliver
Oliver (pig) Arrived 17 April 2017 Gorgeous Oliver pig was in need of a new home. The owners of this much loved pig were struggling with health issues within the family, and due to these unforeseen circumstances, they were unable to provide for Oliver long term. Oliver was previously living with two goats, so he wasn’t used to the company of other pigs. After his two weeks in an isolation yard here at the sanctuary, he joined Mildred, George, Peppa and Peppercorn in one of the ‘Pig Paradise’ paddocks.…
Lani
Lani (goat) Arrived 11 August 2016 Lani was impounded by a municipal council after being surrendered by her owner, who was having trouble containing her on his Perth Hills property, and after complaints from neighbours.

She was about four months old when she came to us and is initially hanging out with Mimi, Tumbles and Isla the other small females, and Zayn who is still a bit slow from…

Arrived 3 July 2015 Pogo was surrendered by a Perth municipal council; he had been taken from suburban Camillo, impounded, held for the required ten days and “destruction” was imminent :o( No one claimed him and no one wanted him, so we were happy to give him a safe and secure forever home at Happy Hooves Farm Sanctuary with Rupert, Thurman, Gary, Shaggy, Beau and Jangles, after a visit to the vet for health check, drench and surgical castration – he was found to be in great health.…
