Mazda’s moving story

Updated September 3, 2024

Mazda’s first day at sanctuary was the second day of her life. She arrived with her tiny body still stained yellow by meconium, the last remnants of a difficult birth.

Although incredibly vulnerable and small, she made an impression as deep as her eyes were bright. That cheeky glint in them then is still as strong today and speaks of her innate confidence—an early declaration of her will to live.

Weaving strength and immunity into the fabric of her life, Mazda was offered colostrum in the hope it had not come too late. Knowing that the first six hours of life are optimal for this, with the window for absorption closing some 18 hours thereafter, we trusted we could sneak this in. And by all reports of how Mazda has fared in the days that followed, it seems this liquid gold has made a difference.

With the stains of her past fading away, her new world has chased away any lingering shadows.

With the stains of her past fading away, her new world has chased away any lingering shadows. Now, with the promise of a new life ahead, she is destined to grow strong and sure.

Think of resilience beyond measure, and chances are you are not thinking of a little lamb born without hooves.

Ducati’s journey began when a kind-hearted human heard the commotion made by his fall into a dam.

At just 3 hours old, little Buick is “exceptional by design”. And although his dear mumma may have not realised this, taking her preference and her milk to his sibling, we most certainly do.

In the soft light of a winter’s afternoon, a wildlife rescuer scanned the horizon for any sign of injured kangaroos. It was in this quiet, desolate landscape that SsangYong was found.

It is indeed a miracle of love that both were able to walk out of that dark and stormy night and into kindness, warmth and good nutrition.

At first glance, it was thought Elva was dead in a field. But Elva is very much alive today—and so too is her precious baby.

Renault’s survival is more than just a victory over adversity; it is a symbol of what can be achieved when love and care are extended to the most vulnerable among us.
