Animal Sanctuary

A Better Life Animal Sanctuary is a forever home for farm animals and others who have been rescued or adopted. Sadly many of our animals were saved from abuse or neglect and as a result we hope to educate and raise awareness of living a conscious, ethical life that excludes the exploitation of animals. Oh, and we like cute animal photos just as much as you do!

About Us

A Better Life Animal Sanctuary was started in 2018 by Sunny on a property in Banjup as a way to help homeless animals, many of which were saved from abuse or neglect. A registered Charitable organization they adopted dogs and rabbits, to their first farm animal and native animals. Their aim is to provide care and rehabilitation for animals without owners especially those who are sick or injured.

Later on came Phoebe, a two-day old (1-kilogram) piglet who was left in a cardboard box at a zoo entry. Next was Tommy the calf who was rescued from a salesyard, and The Addams family flock of sheep who needed a new home.

A Better Life Animal Sanctuary is now set on a 200-acre property near York in the wheatbelt and while they don’t have the funds to adopt every animal, they also help with finding new homes through their adoption program. They have been able to find more good homes for animals through this program than they would have alone, as the numbers of animals that need new homes is sadly immense.

While primarily they provide a home for farm animals, they have also adopted native animals, dogs and rabbits, as well as sheep, rams, cows, pigs, alpacas, goats, chickens, roosters, and more.
A Better Life Animal Sanctuary is committed to giving farm animals a new, better life. Many of the animals who they have found a forever home were saved from abuse or neglect, while others were simply unwanted or abandoned.

As a registered charity all their funds go back into the direct care and rehabilitating orphaned or sick and injured animals. They hope to educate and raise awareness of living a conscious, ethical life that excludes the exploitation of animals.
