Barnyard Betty's Rescue is a sanctuary for orphaned, mistreated and unwanted farm animals who if not rescued would be destined for a certain death.
Mission
Through our Facebook page you'll get to meet the sanctuary residents. Learn who they are, where they came from, their stories, and watch them blossom as they feel safe and loved enough to finally be themselves. You'll see them form bonds and friendships and watch mothers nurture their young, often for the first time without their babies being taken away.
Volunteering: no information.
Tours/open days: no information.

FAR rescues abused, injured, sick, abandoned and unwanted animals from factory farms, saleyards, slaughterhouses, shelters and veterinary clinics. Rescues can be heart-breaking, rewarding, tiring and inspiring. It doesn’t take long, when you spend time with farm animals, to realise that they are sensitive, bright and fun-loving creatures who value their lives, fear the same things we do, and mourn the loss of their loved ones.
Mission
We rescue farm animals –the most abused animals on the planet– by giving them a free-roaming home to live-out their natural lives in safety & harmony. We nurture rescued animals back to health with world class care, compassion, patience and dedication. Each animal has a personality, a story and a life she or he dearly wants to live. And our farm at Dayboro, Queensland provides tailored care for each animal as well a safe, secure and free-roaming sanctuary. For those that do not survive after rescue, we give them the dignity and comfort that they deserve with gentle affection and palliative care.
Volunteering: open day volunteer events as well as live in, full time, part time and casual positions.
Tours/open days: open days and private tours available.
