Farm animals looking for a new forever home

TIL the Cows Come Home has several animals that urgently need a forever home.

Adoption manager Sarah Tivendale said they rescue farm animals that are considered ‘waste’ - animals that are not profitable on farms and would otherwise be sent to slaughter, along with helping families find homes for farm animals they can no longer keep.

“We bring these animals into foster care where they receive vet care and are looked after until we find them forever homes - all volunteer based,” said Sarah. 

“All of the animals that are available now are great with people and currently in foster care with our team of carers. The hens are all rescued from egg farms. The hens are 18 months old and while their egg production isn’t high enough for commercial farms they still lay and make the best back yard hens.” 

Til the Cows Come Home currently have wiggy the delightful pig, cows and calves, a mother and calf and several hens lamb available for adoption in Victoria.

“Adopters can travel from the Bass Coast Region and South Gippsland region to adopt these animals. If there is an adoption listing noted that catches your eye, we can provide more details and photos.

All foster homes have rescue calves continuously coming into foster carer, particularly calves from dairy farms,” said Sarah. 

“We are looking for homes where the animals will not be used for meat, breeding or fur. We ask that they will simply be kept as pets or lawnmowers; we would love to find a forever home for these animals so that we can keep rescuing more and we have a simple adoption process.”
