I don’t own a sanctuary but I work at one that specializes in macaws. I can’t even imagine doing everything on my own 7 days a week. My body gets sore from just 4 days of labor over there. Props to you, you’re impressive. I’m interested in opening up a small scale exotic pet sanctuary one day so these videos are so great.
I bet, even on your hardest there, you still feel really good though! That's definitely what keeps me going, seeing them happy and thriving gives me joy...and energy to do it all again the next day :P
I intend to volunteer. Thought I would do the one here in Sydney first then consider ones in Ecuador and stuff. The problem is the animals are so dam cute! The video showed you have to pick up the baby emus and move them. How could I leave such a place after? Maybe I'll do the turtle one cos you don't sit around patting turtles. Also you guys should sign that online petition to ban hunting videos from youtube!
I’m in the process of running my own sanctuary too and just like you I want to have everything
Farm animals, dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and wild animals to rehabilitate them if their sick or injured you name it I want it... I can’t wait to watch your sanctuary grow through your videos ❤️
I want that too! I have such admiration and respect for animals. :p
same
I have no idea how someone could take care of so many animals but I'm SOOOO inspired. I'm excited about getting a pet once my bf and I move in together uwu
Yes! Show me ALL of the routines. It would be great if you included one of the routines that you have just for you. Like maybe how you wind down??
I love that idea - especially because it forces me to take the time for myself :P
i guess I'm pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Kaysen Tomas Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Francisco Braylen Yea, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself =)
@Francisco Braylen thanks, I went there and it seems to work :D Appreciate it!!
I have loved animals since the day i was born! I now have lots! I can’t wait to have my very own sanctuary!!! I love you to you watch all your routine videos! ♥️🤍
That's awesome!
Love this so much. I am in the process of starting an animal sanctuary and our morning routines are so similar even down to the salad! Best wishes to you and all of the animal residents.
Isn't it the best life?! So much work, but it never really feels like it!
I've lived with animals since the day I was born, and I love how well you take care of each animal! Watching your channel, I can really see how much care and love goes into owning these animals as pets! You take great care of them! 👍
Thank you. I feel like I get just as much love from them.
I love you and ur animals and I love that you give up ur job for them! Ur so amazing and brave💕
Emphasis on brave...and probably a little crazy! Lol
My older cousin used to work in a sanctuary before she went to college. She took me with her one day I was like 6 and I remember this big brown horse named sally who really liked me for some reason 😅
Really enjoyed the video! Would love to see more!! 💜💜💜
I really appreciate you guys 💚💚💚🌱🌱. Blessings to you and your organization 🙏
You inspire me to start my own here in California, I have about 30 acres and have always been passionate about animals. There are no sanctuaries in my area so I feel a responsibility to do so. Thanks for the inspiration and I can tell you live all your animal friends. Thank you!! 💙
That is wonderful!!! I wish you the best of luck. I have found it so rewarding, and heart breaking at times, but I wouldn't change what I'm doing for anything.
Tyler - I live in California too and have a dream about having a sanctuary. Did you start one? Where are you located? I am in Santa Cruz.
This is amazing! You have a beautiful sanctuary and animal family ♥
You're so inspiring! Thank you for doing what you do!!!
Just found you tonight. This is my second video. Noodling on how and where to get started. Plan now. Take action further into 2021. I will keep watching!
Hello! Glad you found the channel :)
This is what I've always wanted to do! I'm so glad I found this channel
Would love to see more ☺️ just love your videos ♥️
It's looking so gorgeous out there! I've enjoyed seeing all your updates at this new place!!!!

I'm so glad!

I respect you. You are true human being. MY family is also animal lover. ❤❤
What a great routine you have there..
you’re an amazing person!
You inspire me so much! This is my dream :)
Loved the video. Thank you !!
Thank you!
this so cool!!!! I bet the animals are so happy :)
Hopefully they are as happy as I am to be able to do this.
I'm so excited for the feeding video!
Coming soon! It's a busy time on the farm in the spring with all the new babies and growth but we are working on getting a Feeding All My Pets video done. It's probably going to be a LOOOONG one!!
Your amazing!! Your such an underrated youtuber! Your my role model and I want to do what you do when I grow up!!
You're super sweet! Thank you :)
Amazing, thanks for sharing! I want to do this too :D
lovely
Your an awesome person!! Well done!! That’s super interesting Emu eggs need to be turned? Had no clue really cool
Your property is so beautiful 😍
Omg you live in Ga!! Me too hopefully I will see you one day 😄
Yup! I've been here for a few years and LOVE it.
I love your morning routine! Glad to see you are doing well.LOL I would have to add a couple more cups of coffee though
Some days I set my cup down and dont' find it again until the next day...and some days I drink an entire pot!
hey everyone my morning routine on my farm
Thanks.
This is exactly what I wanna do!
Very Nice 👍
Love From India 🇮🇳
I would love an updated all my pets video 😊
I also have a mini farm and have goats,sheep, dogs, garden and everything else that try to come in the farm like snakes and deer and foxs and all..am bless to be a stay a home wife/mom and just take care the farm and house of course... Its hard work at times but you have to really love the farm life to keep going..am bless
I feel the same. It’s not always easy, not always fun, sometime heartbreaking but so worth it. I wouldn’t give it up for anything.
She gave up on her job and moved here she deserves 1M subs +helping animals
Wow... They are lucky to have you. It must be really a lot of work though!

This was very enjoyable. If I wasn’t laid off, I would donate! Can’t wait to see more! Thanks for the salad dressing tip!
Supporing my efforts/the channel through encouragement is just as good :) - I totally understand how hard life is for so many people right now.
Looks like the PERFECT life
Wow! Doing all that by yourself is impressive. I always wanted to do something like this but don't know where to even start. I'm 55+ but always loved animals since I was a kid. The animals are blessed to have you to take such good care of them. God bless you for doing all you do for them.You mentioned something about sending donations. Where do we send it too? Food, etc...
I liked the video dear 🌱💚
8:54 the salad looks amazing thooo
I'd love to hear about how you got all this started and how you manage to keep up financially! I'd love nothing more then to rescue and care for animals all day everyday, I always wonder how people do it???
We are putting together a vlog about just that. The planning, the pitfalls, the beauty, the happy time and the rough roads. Keep watching.
So happy for you that you're settled into your beautiful farm and animal sanctuary!😇💕 However, if I may ask, how do you not feel overwhelmed caring for and giving attention to the animals every day though? Especially all on your own, does it not feel daunting at times? I love animals and animal care too, but I often feel guilty that I don't give them endless attention. I hope you and your farm are safe during covid- 19, thanks for another great video! 🦜🐕🐎
Shockingly, aside from "deep clean day", I feel so insanely happy doing it every day. It helps that right now it's my only "job" and so I can dedicate every minute of the day to them. It's therapeutic, seeing them enjoy life each day makes me smile until my face hurts by bedtime. I certainly have bad moments where stress is at a high, but on a regular basis that isn't the case.
@@AdriRachelle that's amazing, so glad to hear that! :)))
Great video! Would love to see your night routine. Would love to see the ferrets and rats.😁
Ah, I know the farm animals have really been dominating the channel lately - I need to have some of the little guys!
Thank you so much for this fun video! I always look forward to your videos. I recently started a channel dedicated to sugar gliders and their care. I can’t have an animal sanctuary (I will live vicariously through you lol) but my prayer is that my videos will help sugar gliders around the world live their best life, by preparing owners before they get them and help people with all the pieces of caring for these amazing animals. I would love ❤️ to see a sugar glider care video some day! I am sure your gliders are spoiled and loved as I can see you do for all your fur babies ❤️💕😘😻🐶😍
That is awesome! Of all the videos I make I definitely feel my educational pig ones help people and make the biggest difference - so I think yours will be equally as rewarding!
Hi Adri I have been watching ur videos for so long and u inspired me to want a pet pig( still trying to convince my parents) I was wondering if I could do an updated meet all my pets? Anyway I love u keep doing what ur doing!❤️
Hi! I absolutely will do one...someday. Lol
I am 15, and I’m starting to realize that my life would be the happiest if I could spend it with animals and nature. I want to have an animal sanctuary when I am an adult, but I’m not sure how people start this practice or get the money needed to do so. How did you come to have an animal sanctuary? ❤
❤❤❤❤
How do you go about starting a sanctuary? This is exactly what I want to do just unsure of proper steps and legal process.
WOW your yard is so big! how much was all that land?! you just earned a new subscriber here! oh and how much acres do you have?
Welcome and thank you for subscribing!! I'm glad you found my channel and I hope you enjoy it!
We have about 200 acres in all. It wasn't all bought at once so I don't have the total cost off hand.
Lol looks like your never bored
Not enough hours in the day!
I love pigs sooooooo much ( I haven’t ate bacon or anything pig)
Have you had time to go fishing in your pond? It looks like a great place to relax
Lol, I haven't even sat on my dock for more than 15 minutes - combined! :P
Your adorable as your animals.
☺
LOL, MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER HAD ADOPTED A BUNNY & NAMED HIM HODOR!
Great name! :D
Sorry if I’m stupid, but where do you get your money from if it’s non profit?
Hi!! I know this might not be related to the video, but which pig products do you recommend the most? I have been researching A LOT about raising a pig, since I really want one! I went to see your amazon products list (or whatever they’re called :P) but I saw many products that do the same thing - for example, two different brand beds. I just want to ask which products are your favorite (if for beds, for example, pick one brand that you like better than the other)? For beds, shampoo/toiletries, potty place, toys, because like I said, you put so many different brand things that do the same thing. I hope you understand what I mean! Love your videos, keep up the great work! 💕
My pigs definitely seem to like the cuddle style beds, that they can climb inside of and entirely disappear, the best!
As far as the bathing products and toys, I do keep a pretty big variety of both and would have trouble picking a favorite. I think the ball that dispenses treats seems to get them moving the most so I like that a lot.
Adri Rachelle thank you so much ❤️
That was alot of work
How can you afford all of this? Can you please do a video about how to fund an operation like this?
I've seen the question "How do pay for all this, without working?" About a million times on this comment section! Sooooo.. Can you're veiwers get an answer? It's not just about "being nosey", some of us genuinely want to know because they're thinking about doing the same, and are looking for ideas..
Puma Bear At the parrot sanctuary I work at we have about 200 macaws. The owner of this sanctuary owns 3 businesses to afford the sanctuary costs, which can total to about $250,000 per year. Donations to the sanctuary also help but there are never enough donations to run the place on just that alone. That is why the owner is always running back and forth, working at the sanctuary and then working on her businesses. It seems very stressful, as she never really gets a break. It’s very discouraging as someone who wants to own a sanctuary but also wants to have leisurely time once in a while. I too wonder how Adri affords it and if she found an easier way to manage the financial costs.
Nope, that all sounds pretty accurate. I previously owned a business that I've tentatively put on pause - partially do to the move but also because corona has now completely done away with it for the time being. Nearly all my funds went straight into the animals. There's no easy way, there's no simply plan to follow. It can vary drastically from one month to the next. I'm never able to help nearly the amount of animals I'd like to and I'm typically putting my needs/wants on the back burner (which isn't a complaint, I'm happy to do it for them).
Adri Rachelle Then how are you going to continue to fund the Sanctuary??
What breed of mini pigs do you have/own ?
No specific breed! They're a bunch of mutts for the most part.
Can you please do a feeding all you're pets video??
I wanna do what you’re doing😍 Running a animal sanctuary
Pursue your goals. It can be done.
I would love to own a non profit animal rescue someday. I have a small little rescue right now with 20 animals. I can't imagine being able to afford them if I didn't work though. I would love to know how you do this full time without a job to pay for the needs of all the animals?
Yes, I would love to know that myself! Wonder if she'll bother even replying?? Not looking good I guess, as I see you asked this question 3 days ago! (Although Tobe fair, she is probably terribly busy!)
It can take me months to work my way through comments...but I do read them and eventually respond.
I only recently, when moving to this new house and then going through this quarantine, stopped working my job. Prior to this I started my own company a few years ago and worked INSANELY hard (14 hours/day, 7 days a week, 360 days a year). I don't buy myself things, I pinch every penny I can. I do the really hard work instead of hiring people. I get creative in reusing items I have rather than buying new. When I HAVE to buy something I find it at thrift stores or second hand. 90% of my income went to my pets and currently I'm using the funds I saved previously while I become more comfortable requesting contributions to further the non profit.
@@AdriRachelle I feel you, and although I don't personally have 100+ animals, I do have 13 cats, that are all rescues, and many have moderate to severe disabilities! I'm going almost all day, and sometimes through the night (a few have seizures) and I have alot of therapy work I over see everyday. You really should reconsider doing patrieon! There are alot of people who wouldn't mind helping out animals that are in need, and help make your job a little easier, and less stressful. People want to help. There are alot of animal lovers out there! You got nothing to lose by doing it right? I'm making a pledge to donate!! Anyone else with me?
So where do you get all of your animals from? And why do you have emu eggs that are fertile?
Most are owner rehomes and surrenders. Several were strays I found. Some were confiscated due to abuse or neglect/hoarding. I’ve also worked closely with local animal control, other rescues and vet clinics. Any that could be a potential meat source I have purchased from sellers versus seeing them processed for dinner. The emus are a bonded pair and the female laid several eggs this year.
That’s so cool that you can do that. I’d be happy just on a small scale to foster for my local shelter! Is there any way to keep the emus from breeding? Seems counter productive to let them bring more animals into the world while you’re trying to save ones that are already here. I’m not picking at you, I just like hearing other people’s ways of handling things so I can get more ideas 😊 Also, have you ever looked into having a spot on your property for someone to park an off grid RV/tiny home/something like that? You wouldn’t believe how many people I see and talk to (including myself) that would LOVE to have a place on a sanctuary to park and pay like $50-$100 rent and be able to help with the chores and the animals. Of course, you’d have to look into the local laws and regulations for that since each area is different. But it’s just an idea 😁 I’m sure you could find someone in a heartbeat who’d want that living situation!
I doubt you will see this because I'm super late but I'm super interested in doing this one day and I wanted to know what you majored in? Do you have any suggestions on what I should major in if I'm interested in owning a farm sanctuary??
Hi, I am seeing this! I didn't major in anything though I did work in a vet clinic for 7 years. Owning a farm and helping rescue animals was always a passion of mine. Fortunately my sister has degrees in zoology and wildlife preservation and she helps a lot. I would suggest you look to studies like that. Animal husbandry or even Veterinary medicine. That would REALLY come in handy for this kind of thing! I spend soooo much money on vet care. Your school counselor may have some good suggestions also.
Which state do you live in that allows farm animals? I’m not allowed any farm animals in my area and I’m desperately trying to move elsewhere.
Tennessee has a bunch of land and more
My dream is to work to a animal Farm sanctuary one day
I want to work in a sanctuary.
How do you afford all of this?
Do you rescue all of your animals ?
Hi Chaz. Yes, Wild Things Sanctuary, Inc. is dedicated solely to taking in rescues.
How do you pay for all of this?
Prior to this I started my own company, worked my butt off for years, never bought anything for myself, and still pinch every penny I can when it comes to my own needs/desires. At the moment I'm using what I saved previously..and slowly getting more comfortable asking for contributions to offset my out of pocket costs for the animals.
Work never done when u have animals
I would cut my lip up so bad, if I tried drinking outta that ☕!! Lol
I'm not giving up on it until there's only shards left :P Love this mug!
Birds in cages?
what’s up with the eggs? most sanctuaries aren’t breeding animals and let the animals eat their eggs to regain the significant calcium loss it takes for them to make them
90% of the eggs are boiled and fed back to the animals. I have left them in the coop and they do not eat them, they rot or attract predators.
I wish people would be a LOT more forgiving and understanding of legitimate rescues doing the best they can. Ive got thick skin, but Ive seen SO many amazing animal rescuers and veterinarians run from their efforts after too much criticism. Its hard, we aren't perfect, but we're trying our a$$es off at all costs.
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee youuuuuuuuuuuuuu sooooooooooooooooooooooo muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤❤❤
Do you take your pigs to like a dog vet or what?
I do have a normal small animal vet that also sees certain "exotics" like pigs. However, it's really case by case - some vets will see them and some wont so I always suggest locating youre nearest pig vet before getting one!
Adri Rachelle omg thanks
Do a feeding all my animals video tomorrow
:P Top requested video along with another "meet all my pets"!
I was the 999th like :0 😂
Non profit. How do you live? Must make some money?
...Yes, we're an IRS approved 501c3 legitimate non profit, and unlike most, I dont take any part of the donations as a "salary" or any kind of compensation. In fact, the donations we do get MIGHT cover 30% of the expenses, the rest comes directly from my own bank account. I worked very hard at a business before this, made smart investments, and continue to find ways to bring in income for myself and the animals.
I hope you are vegan also
How can you say you live animals and then exploit them for their periods ☹️
Please tell me which animal you're concerned about. These aren't humans, they don't understand what it means to be on the internet. They know I'm looking at them, interacting with them, giving them attention, and they love it. I NEVER overstimulate them for a video. I very, very rarely use any kind of lighting in my videos because I don't want to stress them out with it, even if it means my video quality goes down. I don't handle or show the animals that are stressed out by me, or don't enjoy my presence, even though people request them frequently. I run a licensed, inspected, non profit animal sanctuary and instead of charging admissions and getting 8 or 9 times the donations I currently take in, I choose to remain a private sanctuary, pay for 90% of their care out of my own pockets, and keep these animals from enduring that stress of being "exploited" to strangers in a zoo-like setting.
@@AdriRachelle I think this was a criticism of you eating eggs from your hens. I understand there’s no cruel intentions on your behalf, but it’s confusing to see someone claim veganism and eat eggs. Hens benefit greatly from getting the nutrition they lose laying so many eggs by having them fed back to them. Just like us, hens used to only lay about 1-2 eggs per month, and the egg industry has played god with them so much, it’s destroyed their bodies. Please consider feeding the eggs back to the chickens in the future!
