My name is Marley (Bob) and I was born at a slaughterhouse on 3/10/2023. As per usual practice I was about to be “dispatched” by slaughterhouse workers when another man working at the facility (not in the kill facility) stepped in.  He saved me from being killed at the day I was born. He took…

I’m Jazz, a 17 year old Arab cross who by no fault of my own needed to find a home or I was going to be put to sleep! I have had a hard life which ultimately resulted in loosing one of my eyes to infection in 2023. Not much else is known about me…

My name is Fern and I am partially blind in both eyes. I was born on a farm in the middle of June 2023.  It quickly became obvious to the farmer that I could not see very much so he surrendered me to a wonderful group called Companion Cows. The lady from Companion Cows contact…

My name is Lorenzo. My age is unknown but is estimated to be over 25 years (as at 2023). I have lived a hard life out in the paddocks protecting cattle and other herds and flocks. Consequently, I haven’t had a lot of care taken of me and have suffered from bouts of painful laminitis…

Late in the afternoon of Sunday, 19 February 2023 we received a call about a kid goat who was in desperate need of help. Information about exactly what was wrong with the kid was limited, all we knew was that she was 5 weeks old, not drinking well and was unable to stand. We were…

My name is Eddie.  I was born on a cattle farm in September 2022. Unfortunately, the farm owners found me the next day and, thinking I had sustained a crush injury, brought me to stay in their back yard. Sadly, they did not seek veterinary treatment for me at the time. At around 4 months…

My name is Junior.  In 2023 I will turn 15 years old. My life before coming to Cranky’s FARM wasn’t very good.  I was treated badly, tied up and fed dog food mostly.  I lived on a few properties but always seemed to find myself in bad situations.  Thankfully, a kind lady who lived next…

Diego is our one and only rooster.  Despite being on 60 acres, the sanctuary is only allowed to home one rooster due to council laws. Diego was born with a defect which rendered him incapable of standing on his legs.  Both his legs would splay outwards when he would try to stand and walk.  With…

There are three ducks that call Cranky’s FARM home, Frank, Guy (who is a girl) and Storm. These three were rescued in October 2021, from unsatisfactory conditions when there were only a few weeks old. They were found living in a tiny enclosure with no access to water in the middle of summer. They are…

RIP Little Chicky. Our sweet little girl passed away in August 2022 after undergoing major surgery to remove a large mass from her abdomen. Unfortunately, although she made it through surgery she never regained consciousness. This broke our hearts. PLEASE READ ON SO CHICKY’S PASSING WAS NOT COMPLETELY IN VAIN: Unfortunately, what happened to Chicky…

My name is Jonny. Not that much is known about my past but at best guess I was born in 2012 and I am a miniature pony.   Unfortunately, what has lead me to now call Cranky’s FARM home is not a happy tale but I am hoping that with the lots of love and attention…

My name is Missy and I am a very friendly goat. I originally was saved by an elderly couple who hand-raised me but as I grew older and more boisterous they had to send me to live with another family. There I was loved and cared for and I really loved hanging out with their…
