Welcome to the animal sanctuary

View this video below to learn about what we do:

The Animal Sanctuary is a haven for all animals, with a focus on three main areas of work:

Native Birds

We rehabilitate and release native New Zealand birds back into the wild.

Rescue Animals

The Animal Sanctuary is a permanent home and refuge for abandoned, abused, and forgotten animals.

Battery Hens

We rehabilitate and rehome ex-battery hens throughout the Auckland region.

 

The Sanctuary is an animal refuge run by Shawn Bishop and Michael Dixon in Matakana, New Zealand. We provide a safe haven for abused and neglected animals, and care for injured or orphaned native birds. A charitable trust has been established for this purpose.
