Spud

Spud is the sanctuary’s lovable live wire

Spud was born on a farm where a little girl lived, she would feed him and play with him regularly. She became very attatched, and when the little girl found out what was going to happen to Spud, she became extremely upset. It was their bond that saved him, because her family brought Spud to live with Carole at the sanctuary.

It wasn’t long before Spud had made friends with everyone here. He does have a special relationship with Alice. If he hear’s her call his name, he will race across the field to reach her.

Spud spends most of his days running around the field with the other sheep, and loves a biscuit!

Joey

The friendliest character at Woolly Park

Joey was kindly brought to Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary in 2016 by Rachel, one of our long term volunteers, after being saved by a helper on a farm in Yorkshire. A group of kind people chipped together to purchase him and saved him from slaughter.

This handsome young boy is one of the friendliest characters at  Woolly Park and for the first six months never left Carole’s side, following her around just like any pet dog would. He still loves human contact, enjoys a biscuit and will come running at the call of his name. He certainly makes any visitors feel welcome at Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary and is now another firm favourite on the adoption list.

Wilma

Wilma loves seedless grapes and corn on the cob

Wilma is the youngest of our piggies at Woolly Park. She arrived at the sanctuary in 2016, a cute little piglet, complete with her own den – a small pull up tent and a combination of soft toys and play things. She was rescued by a family after Wilma’s biological mum rejected her. The family loved Wilma very much, but knew she couldn’t stay with them forever. This was when it was arranged for Wilma to come and live with Carole and all the other rescued animals.

But it wasn’t long before Wilma outgrew her pull up tent, so the sanctuary invested in a child’s play house.

This special young girl has settled in beautifully at Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary and like most of our rescued animals has been through trauma before being rescued by wonderful, compassionate people. Having now found her feet (trotters), she has her own paddock, complete with a comfy arc and muddy wallow. She also has a couple of  more mature neighbours George and Angelina.

Wilma loves seedless grapes and corn on the cob. She also love’s to see our supporters when they visit the sanctuary, especially when they have adopted her.

Marigold

Marigold is a delightful Anglo Nubian goat.

Marigold and Morgan were the only goats at the sanctuary and had been here for about ten years. They had always lived happily together. Sadly, this year, Morgan passed away quite suddenly. Marigold had never been on her own and the whole team felt that it was too sad for Marigold to live at Fars without her friend. A dear friend of the sanctuary, Sue, rescues goats and so Marigold has gone to live at The Rescue Ranch. As you can see from the pictures she has settled really well. 

Sue is an amazing, compassionate person who for two decades has dedicated her life to rescuing farm and domestic animals, particularly elderly, disabled and those with special needs, providing a lifelong sanctuary for them. The Rescue Ranch is a non profit organisation so all donations are really appreciated and go towards caring for the animals. 

You can still adopt Marigold. Any adoption fees will be sent on to Sue to help give Marigold the life she deserves at: www.therescueranch.co.uk

Thank you for your support. Love Carole, the team and Marigold.

Marigold

Marigold and Morgan (we believe they were mother and son) were brought into the sanctuary after being found abandoned, tethered to a garden fence.

The Anglo Nubian goat is recognisable by its long floppy ears and pronounced ‘Roman’ style nose. Generally, they are slightly longer in the body than other breeds. It is also one of the heaviest and tallest breeds of goat, with males weighing up to 140 Kgs and females up to 110 Kgs. Being naturally curious creatures anyway, this mischievous duo would chew on and taste just about anything resembling plant matter to decide whether it is good to eat. They were also quite athletic when it comes to climbing and would scale almost any obstacle just to nibble on something they fancy.

Peggy

Nicknamed ‘Little Peggy!’

Carole kept kept Peggy close to her for a number of months, bottle-feeding her regularly, while also helping the tiny lamb to strengthen her legs.

Angelina

Angelina loves tummy rubs

Angelina arrived at the sanctuary in March 2017. Eight years of age, her owner, who had kept her as a family pet, due to unforeseen circumstances was no longer able to keep her.  From day one at Woolly Park she settled in, enjoying plenty of snoozes and tummy rubs.

Extremely chilled and very affectionate, she loves nothing more than apple, carrot and sweetcorn treats, so if you are planning to adopt and visit Angelina, please don’t come empty handed. ngelina has just moved into her own outside paddock with purpose built home, which just happens to be beside George.

Florence

Florence certainly melts hearts

Florence was just a couple of weeks old when she arrived at Woolly Park Farm. She was an extremely poorly lamb and it was touch and go for quite some time.  Carole took Florence under her wing, as she so often does, keeping her snug and warm indoors. With plenty of tender loving care and regular bottle feeds, Florence grew stronger and stronger.

Now, she is a beautiful young girl, who is a firm favourite at the sanctuary. She has certainly made many sheepy friends at Woolly park Farm. Florence enjoys nothing more than a day foraging around the paddock, returning to her lovely straw bed in the evening. She certainly melts hearts with her stunning looks!

Rose Kasili Photography

Rose is smothered with love and cuddles from the babies. 

A HUGE thank you to Rose Kasili (Rose Kasili Photography) and Buster Fisher (Artist), who paid Woolly Park a visit today, after both offering to help Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary with their fabulous creative talents. The weather was not particularly great with torrential downpours for most of the day, however, it did mean they could get close up and personal with many of our lovely residents, including our busy nursery!

As you can see both Rose and Buster couldn’t resist love and cuddles from the babies and giving us a helping hand too. A huge thank you to them both for supporting the sanctuary in this way, we are extremely grateful. To see the fabulous photographs taken  on the day please visit The Rose Kasili Collection website page.

Toby

Toby loves Bananas, but they must be peeled!

Toby was only a couple of months old when he arrived at the sanctuary in 2017. He was rescued in Hertfordshire by a gentleman who saw him being manhandled by a group of boys. They were throwing the small piglet around like he was a football. The kind man asked the group if he could have Toby, but they wanted money. He gave them the only change he had in his pocket, picked the little piglet up and carried him to safety. He knew he couldn’t keep Toby forever, so he contacted FARS.

Toby loves bananas, but unlike most piggies, they must be peeled. He also likes swiss roll and playing with his food filled football

The little piglet was so small when he arrived, he only needed a small pen, but he now has a much bigger pen, complete with a nice comfortable house full of straw.
