Galahad's Animal Sanctuary

Providing a Forever Home!

​By adopting a farmed animal, you offer safety, care, and a second chance at life. Our adoption program matches animals with compassionate, forever homes where they can live with dignity and love. ​If you’re able to provide a home where an animal can enjoy the company of their own kind, appropriate shelter year-round, and dedicated care through all stages of life, we’d love to hear from you.​​

About our adoption program:

Since its establishment, Galahad’s Animal Sanctuary has rescued and provided care for farmed animals in need. Over time, we have recognised that in order to remain sustainable and maintain the highest standards of care for animals already in our protection, we are unable to offer lifelong sanctuary to every animal we rescue.

For this reason, our adoption program focuses on responsibly matching rescued animals with suitable, loving forever homes. Adoption allows us to help more animals in need while ensuring each individual receives the care, space, and attention they deserve.​​

We rescue, rehabilitate and rehome farm animals from various circumstances within the food system. We have also rescued camels, horses and donkeys. Both camels and brumbies are often overlooked Australian Icons, yet they hold an important place in our country's heritage. As animal ambassadors, they share a powerful message - that all animals deserve compassion, respect, and the chance to live with dignity.

Animals are generally adopted in pairs or family groups to make their transition to their new home as stress free as possible. We cannot separate best friends.

Animals are health checked, treated for parasites and in the best of health they can be prior to placement.

Due to unknown backgrounds, we may not be able to provide full histories of the animals.

The adoption process:
Ready to share your heart, home, and well-fenced paddock with a rescued farmed animal? All applications are carefully reviewed and followed by a phone discussion, reference checks, and a property inspection to ensure the best possible outcome for both you and the animal. Once a suitable match is identified, we will contact you to make arrangements. If we don’t currently have an animal that meets your needs, we’ll keep your application on file and update you when a suitable match becomes available.

​Other things to note:

We are located in Gisborne, Victoria, Australia. Unless under exceptional circumstances, we cannot rehome animals interstate. Please find for your nearest animal sanctuary here.

We cannot offer short term or foster care.

You must be over 18 years old to apply.

Your details are held strictly confidential.
