Meet Our 90+ Rescues

  • Tim

    Tim

    Weighing over a tonne, Tim came to us with 3 other friends. He loves to bully others and claims all the hay for himself. Don't go by his size, he is a gentle giant that loves to be petted!

  • Bella

    The neediest of them all! Always asking for attention as she struts around the sanctuary - manages to sneak some extra treats from her volunteer hoomans with her funny antics.

  • Kapila

    Sharp, alert and a bit mischievous, Kapila is always up for an adventure. She would have been sent to the meatworks as she is a freemartin. We bought her off the farm to save her from the knife.

  • Rubble

    Rubble is one of the most soulful sheep we’ve ever had in our care. He was a little girl’s pet and would have gone to the local sale-yards, luckily the girl visited us and we bought rubble off her. She was overjoyed as she could come meet him anytime.

  • Kerbo

    The friendly dog full of energy- our first rescue. Abandoned by his previous owner - he was found alone standing in the middle of the road, scared and hungry. After making multiple attempts to find his owner, Kerbo made our sanctuary his new home.

  • Batman

    The most innocent and loving of fur babies. Batman is our most adorable furball. Kitten to one of our cats we had rescued from abandonment, Batman lives with the cat gang.

  • Ram & Kush

    Ram & Kush

    Our most special father & son duo! Ram was among the first to come into our care - he definitely is the boss. He behaves more like a dog and less like a sheep - not only bullies other sheep but is known to knock down his carers once in a while. Just for fun. Kush is his cuddlier counterpart!

  • Santa

    One of our floofiest kittens. Full of mischief and also a cuddly sleepyhead! The sanctuary is his forever home till a loving & caring hooman adopts him.

  • Hermione & Henrietta

    Hermione & Henrietta have always been gentle yet tough girls. Currently undergoing treatment for their eye cancer, they’ve been getting extra care and attention from our volunteers.

  • Norman

    Our Caravan Cow! The largest one at our sanctuary. Don’t judge him by his size though! He is single-eyed (due to a cancer he previously suffered from), loves cuddles and is always eagerly waiting for his hoomans to bring him hay.

  • Buttercup

    Rescued from the dairy industry by a concerned local. Buttercup came into our care with 5 other calves. Male calves are separated soon after birth from their mothers and killed. Buttercup & his friends however were saved and will live the rest of their life happily at our sanctuary.

De-stress, heal, purify and grow with us!

Our Sanctuary

Animal Rescues

Vedic Desi Cows

Vedic Desi Cows

The Karma Stories sanctuary is home to numerous rescued Desi (Brahman) Cows & Nandis.

Service to the cow - saving it, nurturing it & protecting its calf has the effect of generating positive frequencies which can then negate imbalances in the body & environment, or even uplift the soul.

Cuddling a cow has been scientifically proven to be stress-relieving. It releases the happy hormone Oxytocin, creating feelings of love & fulfilment - fostering overall wellbeing.
