Monthly sponsorship options
Thank you for considering to support our work of rescuing and rehabilitating animals and giving them a safe and comfortable home. Your monthly renewable donation will provide the animal you have chosen with all basic supplies: food, drinking and bathing water, bedding, insulation and ongoing veterinary supplies such as deworming and health supplements.
Changing lives, one sponsor at a time.
Meet our kune kune pigs
Some of our residents are looking for a sponsor of their very own. Get to know Jabba, Polly and Pursia — three gentle kune kune pigs who each have their own personality, quirks and favourite things.
You'll be their Guardian Angel and sole supporter. We'll email you a digital certificate and send you regular photos and updates to thank you being their special human.
Jabba
A little older and grumpier, Jabba runs the paddock with quiet authority. She loves her food and will snort her way through every meal — and once she is asleep, you can hear her snoring from across the shed.
Polly
Very sweet and endlessly affectionate, Polly is best friends with Jabba — the two are rarely more than a few steps apart. She adores belly rubs and will flop onto her side the moment you scratch her.
Pursia
A gentle boy, quiet and very loving. Pursia really enjoys his potatoes and will come running at the sound of a bucket. He also loves being brushed — a slow, contented sigh is your reward.
Meet Hercules
Looking for his own dedicated sponsor
Hercules
Hercules is the largest cockerel at the sanctuary, but don't let his size fool you — he's incredibly gentle and adores spending time with his cockerel friends. Be his sole Guardian Angel and give him the lifelong care he deserves.
Sponsor any of our residents
Support a flock, herd, or family
Choose a resident to sponsor monthly and help provide fresh food, safe housing, bedding, and attentive lifelong veterinary care.
Sponsor a Hen
In July 2021 we rescued 200 hens on the day they were scheduled for slaughter. Caring for our rescue flock requires continuous nutritious feed, warm bedding, and healthcare.
Sponsor one of Our Cats
We care for over 22 cats at Back Into Daylight. Most were saved from severe neglect or abandonment. Many are senior felines requiring specialized daily care and routine vet support.
Sponsor a Pigeon
Your monthly support protects over 260 domesticated pigeons who cannot survive in the wild. We provide spacious protected lofts, quality grain mixtures, and ongoing medical attention.
Sponsor one of Our Goats
Home to five gentle rescue goats—Alba, Karina, Ivy, Jamie, and Jake. Survivors of commercial dairy production, they now live safe and free with full pasture grazing access.
Sponsor a Cockerel
Over thirty rescued cockerels call our sanctuary home. Your sponsorship supplies hearty grain feed, separate spacious paddocks, clean bedding, and preventative health checks.
Sponsor one of Our Lovely Pigs
Four sweet rescue pigs live peaceful lives here, including Charlotte who arrived as a tiny piglet. They thrive on fresh produce, balanced nutrition, warm straw barns, and gentle daily care.
Sponsor a Duck
We shelter 11 rescued ducks, including Pekin ducks saved from commercial breeding. They spend their days splashing in clean ponds, foraging fresh grass, and swimming peacefully.
Sponsor one of Our Dogs
Our rescue dogs came from harsh abandonment. Today they are cherished members of the family who accompany caretakers across the sanctuary grounds and receive devoted lifelong love.
Sponsor a Turkey
Three majestic turkey friends joined our family in early 2024. Your monthly gift ensures nutritious feed, warm cozy roosts, and attentive medical care for these curious, gentle birds.
Give the gift of care
A sponsorship is a present with a heartbeat. Whether for a birthday, a thank-you, or simply because someone you love cares about animals, a 6-month or 1-year gift sponsorship comes with a personalised certificate and regular updates about the animal you choose.
Offer sponsorship as a gift
You can give a 6-month or 1-year sponsorship to someone you love, as a present. We will send them a personalised certificate and updates about their little protégé.
Choose who you would like to sponsor
We have over 450 animals in our permanent care. You can choose a specific animal that you want to sponsor, or just the species and we will choose for you.
