Baby Jerry at Woodstock Sanctuary

Two new faces in the Woodstock Sanctuary pot belly barn.

Pinocchio is so large (we think he must be mixed with some large breed pig) and Simba relies on him for emotional support.

When we heard a local rescue was closing and needed a very special home for these two we wanted to help.

we were so lucky at Woodstock Sanctuary to be able to take in Peach (and her soon to be baby James) after she was intentionally hit by a car and severely injured.

this is Woodstock Giving Week! some very kind people are matching EVERY gift up to 50k by Sunday.

Is it even a bathroom if there’s no foster pigeon?

houseguest PJ is feeling great and cute. it makes me so furious that people release doves (IN JANUARY IN THE CATSKILL MOUNTAINS nonetheless!).

PSA — if you see an all white pigeon /dove, they aren’t a wild or even a thriving feral — they likely need help ♥️

kiwi is rolling into 2025 BUT FIRST we have to close this year strong by meeting our 3x match and I’m worried we won’t get there — we have to hit it by midnight! secure.everyaction.com/Ah2zVyZwfU6M...

Drew leans in to inspect my teeth 💜

turkeys are wonderful. this time of year breaks my heart again and again — as people are callous and cruel about their bodies and their suffering.

get to know one while they are living and it becomes so much more difficult to mock and celebrate their death.

almost fledged pij babies lost their parent(s?) to a hawk and were frantically trying to get other adult pigeons to care for them in our goat barn at @woodstocksanctuary.bsky.social 💔 so now I have little houseguests for a bit who need to learn how to eat solo and be adult birds. name suggestions?
