Niz’s Animal Sanctuary

Turtles, stables, welfare.

Working yard at The Cove. Fenced runs, shade trees, rain tank, red barn. Not a petting zoo — guided walks only.

Pigs of Paradise sits inside the sanctuary. The same ground holds stables, turtle runs, donkeys, a horse, goats, sheep, dogs and the cats. Manure leaves the pens for the bioreactors. Visitors walk with guides — this is a working home.

  • Stables and paddock along the red barn
  • 18 pigs — Pigs of Paradise herd
  • 12 donkeys · 1 horse · 3 goats · 2 sheep
  • Cleo, Zeus, Blackie, Voo and Doo
