After saving Fanta, then Beans, and then Frosty it was time to take things more seriously. The first step was to acquire legal ownership so they couldn't be taken. They came from a farmer with a verbal agreement but people change their mind so a written adoption form was created and signed.

Time to rescue some more lambs! And start a animal sanctuary. Now that the wooly family was getting bigger with Flora, Daisy, Lily, Homer, Buttons, and Belle joining a long term plan was needed. Beans and Frosty need a permanent home and the best way to do this was to start a sanctuary.

The sanctuary needed a name so Beans' human named it after Beans and his angel-wool-wings. What are the chances of finding a lamb who grows wool wings after all? Beans was destined for greatness so the name became 'Saint Beans'. Now the sanctuary had a name it was time to formalise it and create a website for Saint Beans. Next step was to start the process of becoming a registered non-profit.

The woolies need a forever home that can't be taken. This means acquiring real estate without large debt. The current property is not owned by Beans human so one day they will have to move 😢.

This keeps Beans' dad up at night so he's saving every penny towards this goal. A forever home for the woolies is the number one priority. Realistically it's going to take a few more years before this will happen. 

To start with a smaller property, 10+ acres will be enough.

Update. 
Unfortunately this has suddenly become more urgent because the property is going to be sold 😱. Please support our fundraiser.

Once we have purchased a suitable property we will develop it and make it an ecological paradise 🦆, an eco-sanctuary ☺️. The woolies need their paddocks but everywhere else will be reforested for the good of the natural world, wild animals, and to suck up as much carbon as possible. We will also start looking for ways to build extra income and begin the process of making the property suitable for visitors. This depends on the outcome from State 04.

The Saint Beans Sanctuary and Eco Lodge 🙌. The ultimate dream is to open a large 100+ acre sanctuary that encompasses the values of Saint Beans. An eco farm animal sanctuary designed for people, animals, and nature. New Zealand needs a sanctaury similar to Farm Sanctuary or Catskill Sanctuary in the US or Edgar's Mission in Australia.

Plans include accommodation and experiences, animal care facilities, the restoration of as much nature as possible, educational tours and advocacy, aiding the local community, a large iron sculpture of Beans ☺️ (of course), unique woolly Airbnb experiences and much more. 

Saint Beans will also create a seperate brand so there will be saintbeans.org the sanctuary and saintbeans.com the brand. The brand will support the sanctuary ☺️ and the mission to make the world a kinder place for all. 

Making Beans' dream come true won't be easy and it will take years not months but hey... what else is there to do? Saving animals is very rewarding and is a way to show respect to all earthlings. It also makes the world that little bit more peaceful 🕊️ and provides a place for people to experience and learn about animals and why we should respect them.
