Do you think the world could use more compassion? We do too. 

​

At Little Oak Sanctuary, we believe compassion isn’t just a feeling—it’s something you do. And we believe it should extend to all animals, without exception.

​

We offer a safe haven for farmed animals who have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment—those with nowhere else to go.

​

Our mission is to build a kinder world for animals through:

• Empathy-based education programs for kids and adults
• Advocacy for animal rights
• Immersive open days that connect people with rescued animals

As a passionate not-for-profit, we’re also committed to being environmentally friendly and socially responsible in everything we do.

​

Little Oak Sanctuary is located on 273 peaceful acres near Braidwood, NSW, just 70km from Canberra. We currently care for over 300 rescued animals, each one seen as someone—not something.
