With the high temperatues continuing into the weekend, we will postpone an open house until early September. The animals and birds are trying to cope with the heat as is and would not be able to do so during an open house with many visitors

Unleash your best! We are looking for 4 individuals to join our Board. Join us in furthering the Sanctuary's mission. Email us at [email protected] to learn how you can make a difference!

Just to clarify for anyone coming out unexpectedly to visit, Penny Lane Farm Sanctuary is not like a petting zoo. We are a refuge for rescued farm animals, many seized in cruelty or similar cases by SPCAs and Humane Societies. We are only open to the public during Open Houses, our special programs, and limited pre-scheduled visits. Our next Open House is tentatively set for August 16.

any musicians out there? Would be great to have this actually played...first sanctuary to have its own song. Use the lyrics and similar chords and interpret it however you wish, maybe we'll create a 'musician in residence' for whoever creates a version. A little fun musical competition.

“At Penny Lane”

Key: G major
Style: Folk ballad – gentle, flowing, mid-tempo
Capo 3rd fret

[Verse 1]

G C G
Up a dirt road just past the trees
Em C D
Where the wind hums quiet harmonies
G C G
There’s a place where the broken mend
Em D G
And every soul can start again

[Chorus]
C G
At Penny Lane, the gates are wide,
D Em
Open hearts on every side
C G Em C
Feathers, fur, and weathered hands
Am D G
Healing love upon this land

[Verse 2]

G C G
There’s a fine old barn and a mule who brays
Em C D
A blind old pony finds his way
G C G
Geese in pairs and goats at play
Em D G
All were lost, but now they stay

[Chorus]

C G
At Penny Lane, the gates are wide
D Em
Open hearts on every side
C G Em C
Feathers, fur, and weathered hands
Am D G
Healing love upon this land

[Bridge]
(fingerpicked gently)

Em C G D
We don’t ask them to perform or obey
Em C D
We just listen to what they say

[Verse 3]
G C G
Some came starving, scared, or lame
Em C D
Each one carried someone’s shame
G C G
But here they walk with heads held high
Em D G
Under the open, forgiving sky

[Final Chorus]
C G
At Penny Lane, the world slows down
D Em
You’ll find grace on this sacred ground
C G Em C
Hope lives here, not far away
Am D G
Come see them live their way

[Outro – softly fingerpicked or hummed]
G C G
Mmm, at Penny Lane...
Em D G
Mmm... where love remains

The outside run being built by Barb, (aka Barb the Builder), one of our amazing volunteers, for Sarge, and his twin Pepper. It will attach to the hut where they will have a large stall. Sarge has to remain on a strict diet, he cannot be allowed to graze, hence the platform. The 50/25/25 draw is making this possible

07/17/2025

Update: The pot to be shared is now at $1175.00, join in a chance to win a 25% share of it! Tickets are just $10 or 3 for $25. August 16 could be your lucky day!

A thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the generous ticket buyers!

Now, it’s time to bring Pepper, his twin and the only other geep of their kind, to live safely alongside him. Pepper could face the same challenges as Sarge, and the two need to be together in a space designed just for them.

Both of them are the rarest of animals, as twin sheep/goat hybrids, they beat the million to one odds of their even being born, so let's give them every chance to live long, healthy lives!

We’re building a safe, enclosed area from a small barn to a secure outdoor platform—and we need your help to raise $1,000 for the materials.

Join our 50/25/25 draw!
$10 per ticket
3 tickets for $25
50% of the pot goes toward building materials
25% goes to one lucky winner
25% to a second winner!
Your ticket supports the only known geep twins in the world and helps ensure their safety and comfort—while giving you a chance to win.
Draw date: August 16, at our open house.
Tickets available through our website www.PennyLaneFarmSanctuary.ca (by e-transfer, PayPal, or credit card). Send an email to PennyLaneSanctuary@gmail confirming your contact details and number of tickets purchased.
Let’s bring the twins back together, safely.

Flashback to when William was small enough to fit in the water bowl! William has had the chance to grow up in a safe, loving environment. Our mission is to provide sanctuary to those that are often forgotten. We have been doing this since 2011 and at times, it’s extremely challenging.

The last few years have been difficult to say the least and we are worried about the future. Support, in both donations and volunteers, has dropped considerably. I come to you today to ask for help.

Penny Lane is a dream built on the hope for a kinder world. Help us ensure the dream continues and grows stronger.

We urgently need to re-do all the fencing at the sanctuary but we can’t do it alone.

Help us breath new life into Penny Lane. Make a donation, not matter how small. Volunteer a few hours of your time. Collect much needed supplies. Share, share, and share!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Karyn

🕊️ The Pigeon Protectors 🕊️

Tucked high in a quiet corner of the pigeon loft, a mother pigeon quietly hatched a baby from an egg she had hidden away. Now, as he learns to navigate his new world, he’s not alone. Two other unrelated female pigeons have joined his mother as guardians, forming a fierce and gentle shield to protect him from an aggressive male who’s tried more than once to push him out.

This quiet moment of solidarity unexpectedly demonstrated by these birds to protect the little guy reminds us that compassion knows no species. Whether feathered or human, there is strength in standing together to protect the vulnerable, a lesson for all of us particularly now.

💙 Every life matters here.

"Reciprocity in Action"
At Penny Lane, every act of care echoes in two directions.

Volunteering here isn’t just about giving—it’s about receiving, too. When someone like Bella gets a little extra attention, a clean shelter, or a gentle scratch from a volunteer, she flourishes. And the person offering that care? They leave with a heart a little fuller, having felt the peace and purpose that comes with an act of kindness.

Volunteering is a quiet exchange: the animals receive your help, and in return, they offer something just as valuable—healing, connection, and joy.
