Meet Our Residents

Arthur 

our original resident!

Some call it luck, we like to call it fate. What was supposed to be a simple property walkthrough turned into a rescue mission like no other.

 

Arthur a little piglet at the time, along with other animals who are also now in our care, were abandoned on what was an old backyard butcher farm. 

 

We knew there and then that we were destined to turn such a horrible space into a positive environment for these animals and many more in the future.

​

Arthur brought us here, and thus Arthur's Acres was born.

Katniss

Katniss the beautiful gaint!

 

Katniss arrived to Arthur's Acres after being rescued from one of the most severe neglect cases in upstate NY this year.

 

Along with Rue and Prim, they were left to die in a small space no bigger than a dog shed, knee deep in their own feces.  We couldn't be more grateful to give them the life they deserve. 

 

Katniss is the leader on the gang, Standing at over 6ft tall on her hind legs, she's a force to be reckoned with, yet a gentle warm forgiving soul.

Vivian

Vivian arrived to Arthur's Acres at just 4 months old with her sister Fay. Both surrendered from a laboratory where they tested on animals for their product. 

 

Within days both ladies bonded with Arthur and now where one goes, they all follow. 

 

Vivian is the curious sister, sticking her nose into every little nook and cranny .The first to greet you every morning and always by our side on the daily adventures. The two couldn't be more opposite and we love them all the more for it.

​

The family now has their own very own kitty heaven at Arthur's Acres where they get to play and explore all day. 

 

Cerri is the fearless kitty, always finding the tallest ledge to jump from, or smallest hole to climb in.

Brooklyn is our resident speed demon. If you stand there long enough Brooklyn will most likely use you as his very own cat tree before you know it.

Charlie

Charlie is by far the bravest rooster you'll ever meet. 

​

Charlie was abandoned on the property for months before we moved in. We tried numerous occasions to catch him with no luck. Finally, within days of us moving in, we caught Charlie.

 

He was absolutely terrified for weeks, with good reason too. We knew Charlie needed immediate love and no better than a beautiful flock of rescued hens to do just that!

​

Instantly Charlie was a changed rooster. He stands proud with his ladies and is no longer fearful of humans.

​

We have a special place in our hearts for Charlie, the bravest rooster of them all.

Upon convincing them to surrender the lovely ladies they became our first rescue of Arthur's Acres !

 

Stevie is the expert groomer of the flock. If she isn't making sure her beautiful white feathers are in peak condition, she'll be off helping charlie or one of the girls brush up on their grooming skills.

Prim

Like Katniss, Prim shows no fear and is a boisterous lass with a beautiful personality. She is always smiling and welcomes a treat. We're confident she'll be accepting belly rubs in no time!

​

A little timid at first but soon warms up to you once she knows she's safe. And forever safe she will be.

Wilbur

Wilbur is the first potbelly pig we welcomed into Arthur's Acres. Wilbur was abandoned at a New York City shelter in terrible condition.

 

Like most potbellies, it is believed he was once considered a "teacup" pig and abandoned once he outgrew his infant size. 

​

He now spends his days happily roaming the sanctuary grounds with endless pastures to forage in.

Farm Dog Lyle

Lyle was destined for euthanasia after being labelled "aggressive" at a high kill shelter.

When he was rescued, it was soon very clear that he simply needed a safe loving home.

 

He is now the gate keeper of Arthur's Acres, watching over all of the residents. He is right by our side at the crack of dawn to feed the animals and won't rest until everyone is safely tucked away for the night.

​

When he does relax you'll find him sleeping softly in someones arms, feeling safe, loved and cared for.
