Rosie

When Rosie’s original family moved back to Auckland, they couldn’t bring her with them, so they left her, on her own, in a field. We brought her to The Sanctuary to live, where she has enjoyed every minute, as you can see, by relaxing in the grass and eating to her heart’s content.

Rosie also loves getting a tummy rub, and will stop whatever she is doing when she sees you to see if she can get one. She will run over like a dog, give a piggy smile and lie down at your feet, in case you didn’t get the hint.

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.
