I mean, what’s better on a kid’s resume than “I built a custom enclosure for peacocks while apprenticing at the oldest continuously operating boat shop in the country”?
Bam. How lucky are we? 🦚❤️

Yesterday, we took on the lifetime care of these two beauties, survivors of terrible neglect. They are safely housed in a temporary space for now, while we work with the apprentice program at Lowell's Boat Shop to build a permanent home for them. Their students get real-world experience while helping sanctuary animals and their people - kindness all around! We are raising funds for site prep, materials, and medical care for these two, and every bit helps. Please share widely, toss a buck in the hat if you can, and send us your good wishes as we get to know each other. You make our motto ring true: We are indeed "Not Poor(e) in Hope".

Link to our fundraiser is in the comments. Thank you!

I have not been able to bring myself to write this up again, but so may of you loved and cared for Sky that I need to share.
Also, this highlights for me the incredible contribution that Sara Willman-Laplante has made to our lives by capturing beautiful images of our too-short time together. Thank you. ❤️

Read and share if you are so inclined. We have a lovely community over on Patreon, which is our only regular assistance for the work we do at the Poore Farm Sanctuary. It's also pretty wonderful to know that these souls are loved and supported by so many kind people. Let us know if you would like to help.

Hiya friends! Here’s a little sweet montage from a favorite visitor to the sanctuary, and a reminder that, while we love and appreciate the pumpkins, we are still paying vet bills and building enclosures and loads of hay, and the best way you can support us and help us care for these beauties is to pop onto our Patreon page and make a pledge. In return, you get regular updates on all the farm residents and you’ll know that every day you are adding to the store of goodness in this world in a tangible way. If you are in a position to do so, please consider becoming a patron. Thank you. ❤️

Having loved many a roo, and knowing how hard they can be to place, this is especially urgent for us. Please help if you can.

We love it when our visitors take the pictures and we can just relax and enjoy the visit! This is from earlier this year...

We love it when our visitors take the pictures and we can just relax and enjoy the visit! This is from earlier this year, but we love how Eric Jay Dolin captures these funny friends!
