Regrettably, due to unforeseen circumstances at this time, Peanuts is unable to take on any more rescues. We deeply appreciate your understanding and continued support, and will provide an update as soon as we are in a position to welcome rescues again.

By helping the children at this level, it stems their behaviour as they grow into adults to prevent them from venting their anger and frustrations on helpless animals and their peers. This helps them understand that violence is not the answer and in turn leads them away from bullying, domestic violence and a life of crime.

Our initiative leads to a better life for all animals, children, adults and for the communities in which we all live.

Peanuts started because of the need to rescue animals and stop the abuse. We soon found that the number of animals we could take in, is limited by the acreage of the property. Peanuts has predominantly large animals, so this fills up fast.
Peanuts has around 60 Ambassadors, from a number of different backgrounds and stories. This, along with collaboration across 5 other properties (and their humans) has enabled Peanuts to expand.  Even with these expansions, and the kindness of others, we are still limited to how many animals we can rescue and sadly we have to say we can’t take in some animals when we don’t have the room (which is a lot more often than we want… ☹) Therefore, the perfect solution was to prioritise animals from abused backgrounds that need rescuing in the first place.

How do you do that? Well, we work with the children. It is an old cliché, but a true cliché, “Children are the future” and if we can teach empathy and compassion to those that are starting to abuse the animals, then it breaks the cycle. Abuse is a learnt behaviour. If this is the only role model they have growing up, they do not know any better. Let’s be compassionate role models and teach them a different way of life.  Through this, it can be a win for all concerned.
