Meet Our Rescue Animals

Our Potbelly Pigs

We have four rescued potbelly pigs named Chloe, Lulu, Betty and Rosie. They grew far too big to be house pets and came to us through Kind Farm Animal Rescue. Two of our pigs are deaf are blind, but that doesn’t stop any of them from loving their days laying together in their hut or walking around searching for food.

Our Sheep

We have two rescued sheep named Bunny and Rosemary. They were both going to be meat, but they are now free to live out the rest of their lives here with us at The Giving Place. Eventually they will be sheared and their wool will be used.

Our Goats

Nutmeg and Daisy are our Nigerian Pygmy goats. Midnight and Luna are our Fainting Goats. All of goats came from situatutions where they could longer be cared for, and were graciously rehomed to us! Each goat has their own unique personality, be sure to pay them a visit and see if you can tell wich goat is the cuddle bug.

Our Peacock

Peter is his name, and he came to us from a bird sanctuary that had too many males, which isn’t an ideal situtation for the females. Now, Peter gets to spend his days roaming the lavender fields, impressing visitors, and by generally being the big shot in town!

Our Chickens & Roosters

Our chickens were rehomed to us, and now provide us with many eggs on a daily basis that range from dark brown to white. They are a lively group, and full of character!

Our Ducks

Many of our ducks were going for meat, but fortunately they were rehomed to us. Some even had injuries and broken legs. They’re all healed up now, and back to their messy and very verbal, but oh so beautiful selves! We started with 6 ducks and now we have about 20.

Our Bunnies

All of our bunnies have come from homes. Did you know that bunnies hate being alone and can become depressed in a cage? Well, not our bunnies! We allow them to roam free throughout the whole property so they can live happy and free.

Our Bees

We have 6 beehives, all rescued from locations that were no longer suited to them. Each year, Leanne and The Giving Place are a main point of contact for the town to help relocate and rescue swarms, free of charge! If you need help with a swarm, contact us here.

Our Guardian Dogs

Bella and Lilly are our giant guardians that keep the coyotes away during the day and night. You may find them snoozing on the job with the other rescues. But in a moments notice, they jump straight to work keeping the all the animals safe.

Our Dog Zoie

Zoie is the boss of everyone and she helps get the animals in at night. She follows, or rather leads, Leanne everywere she goes around the farm. Always making sure everything is in order, and keeping her family safe.

Our Dog Finnigan

Finnigan is our big silly boy who loves to show off his stick to anyone who will watch. He loves to spend time with Andrew, and to lend a helping paw when he can.
