About the Sanctuary

With clear green pastures and animal fencing greeting visitors at the entrance,

The Goat Pen and Animal Sanctuary is located 300km North of Sydney and 250km south of Coffs Harbour.

Spanning 33 acres, our sanctuary provides the perfect environment for these animals to live out the rest of their lives in peace and comfort.

The Goat Pen & Animal Sanctuary is a haven where every creature, no matter how big or small, is embraced with love and respect. Here, each animal’s unique personality is cherished, and their individual needs are attentively met. Through our dedication and compassion, we strive to create a world where all farm animals can live free from suffering, surrounded by care and understanding.

At The Goat Pen & Animal Sanctuary, we passionately rescue and nurture rural and farm animals in need, providing them a haven and a second chance at life. Each animal that comes through our gates is welcomed with open arms, receiving the care, love, and attention they deserve. Through our dedication, we strive to make a difference in the lives of these animals, ensuring they are given the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving environment.

Our petting zoo offers a unique and safe experience for children to bond with and feed these wonderful creatures. It’s a place where young hearts can connect with nature, learning compassion and respect for animals firsthand. Our animals are gentle and friendly, making the experience both enjoyable and educational. We believe that these interactions create lasting memories and foster a deep appreciation for the beauty and value of all living beings.

Our mission is to enhance moods, educate, and encourage conscious living through adoptions, programs, and retail, cherishing human-animal bonds. We believe that by bringing people and animals together, we can create a more compassionate and understanding world. Through our programs and retail offerings, we aim to educate the public about the importance of animal welfare and the benefits of living consciously. We are committed to fostering strong, loving bonds between humans and animals, enriching lives and creating a brighter future for all.

Our vision is a world where every farm animal is cherished, where every child can experience the joy of a close connection with nature. We envision a future where farm animals are respected and valued for their individuality and where children grow up with a deep appreciation for the natural world around them. By fostering this connection between people, animals, and nature, we believe we can create a more harmonious and sustainable world for all beings.

Our vision also includes communities coming together to uplift spirits, protect the vulnerable, and champion the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals. We believe that by working together, we can create a world where everyone, regardless of species, is valued and cared for, and where compassion and empathy are guiding principles in all interactions.

Your contribution will help us provide compassionate care for unwanted farm animals, offer educational programs, and create a safe and loving environment for both animals and visitors. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these wonderful creatures and promote a more harmonious world for all beings. Thank you for your support!
