A woman quit her job as a make-up artist and opened her own rescue centre – which is home to more than 180 disabled farm animals. Amanda Clark, 33, runs the Here With Us Sanctuary with husband Steve, 35, where they care for animals including sheep, cows and pigs, many of which have special needs.
The animals with disabilities include birds with missing toes, ducks with neurological conditions and goats with prosthetic limbs. All 180 animals have been rescued - including cows from dairy farms, battery farmed hens and pigs who were saved on their way to an abattoir.
The vegan couple were inspired to rescue farm animals after visiting a sanctuary in New York in 2017 and Amanda knew it was her “calling”. Their non-profit sanctuary is run by the help local volunteers, the youngest one being their nine-year-old son, Fin, who loves mucking in with the animals.
