Gertrude
Gertrude is the first rescue of Charlie's Acres. She was found by a firefighter in a massive
Southern
California fire. She had a burned back hoof and suffered from smoke inhalation, but that has not
stopped her!
She is now the "mama pig" of Charlie's Acres and has welcomed all the new residents!
Michael
Michael is as cute as a button! He was bound for an auction where he would typically be bought and
raised for
slaughter. An activist swooped in and rescued him shortly after birth, by developing a relationship
with the
farmer. This guy is a Boer goat and has the potential to get huge! When he came to us a baby, he
needed round
the clock bottle feeding.
Doris & Delilah
These lucky ducks are happy as can be now living at Charlie’s Acres. They were found in a pond,
abandoned in
the spring as ducklings. They were having a hard time fitting in with the wild ducks and were
struggling to
survive. Clearly domesticated, they needed a safe place to go. These girls are super bonded and
can’t stand
being apart, but always have something to say!
Amos
Amos is Michael the Goat’s best friend and partner in crime. Amos was found in a field very shortly
after
birth at a meat farm. He was near death, and needed immediate attention. A good person found him and
took
care of him for a couple days, before bringing him to Charlie’s Acres by way of Flat Broke Farm. He
is great
friends with Michael and is getting big and strong!
