The Weetbix Gang

The Weetbix Gang, established in 2018 on Wurundjeri Country in the Dandenong Ranges, Victoria, is a micro-sanctuary dedicated to providing a safe haven for sheep rescued from difficult circumstances. Founded by Alice and Zoe, the first two sheep residents, the sanctuary has grown significantly, boasting 54 members, 48 of whom are paid patrons, contributing to its continued operation. Their Patreon community supports the ongoing care of their rescued sheep, demonstrating the collective impact of their efforts to date, with estimated earnings exceeding $328 and reaching a total membership count exceeding 50. Unlike larger farms or shelters, The Weetbix Gang's micro-sanctuary model provides intensely personalized care, focusing on individual sheep needs and creating a close-knit community around their rescue mission. Their work highlights the importance of small-scale, compassionate animal care within a specific geographical location and ecological context.
