Farm Animal Rescue & Rehoming QLD

Need to rehome a farm animal? Hidden Camp is a 169-acre family farm in Glenwood, QLD, right between Gympie and Maryborough, and we take in pretty well any farm animal: horses, ponies, donkeys, goats, sheep, cattle, pigs, camels, chooks, roosters, ducks and geese. If it moos, baas, clucks, crows or plots escapes, we'd love to hear about it. Rehoming with us is free, and once they join the mob they stay for life.

 

Rehoming isn't always a rescue. People move house, downsize, end up with one rooster too many, or simply can't give an animal the time it deserves any more. Whatever the reason, there's no judgement here. Valentino, our biggest pig, came to us from a loving home that had too many boars, and he's now the life of the paddock.

 

We look at each enquiry individually, so we can check we have the right space and set-up for your animal at the time. Please get in touch before arranging transport or bringing an animal to the property.

 

Call or text Callan on 0478 116 143, or send us a message below.

 

 

How rehoming works

 

1. Give us a call or message. Tell us about the animal, its age and any health or behaviour quirks. A couple of photos help. We won't judge the goat that eats washing.

 

2. We have a yarn. We'll chat about whether Hidden Camp is the right fit for them (and them for us).

 

3. We sort out the move. Drop-off is easiest. No float or trailer? Ask us, as Callan can sometimes collect, depending on the animal, distance and timing.

 

4. They settle in for life. Plenty of space, plenty of mates and a family who adores them. Retirement, farm style.

Frequently asked questions

 

What animals do you take?

Pretty well any farm animal: horses, ponies, miniature horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, cattle, pigs (boars too), camels, chickens, roosters, ducks, geese and guinea fowl. We just check we have the right space for them at the time.

 

Is it free to rehome an animal with you?

Yes. We don't charge to take an animal in.

 

Do you take roosters?

Yes. Roosters are some of the hardest animals to rehome, and many councils don't allow them on suburban blocks. Gympie Regional Council, for example, doesn't allow roosters on urban lots under 4,000 m². Call us before you're stuck.

 

Will my animal stay with you?

Yes. Animals we take in stay with us for life as part of the Hidden Camp mob.

 

Can you pick up my animal?

Sometimes. It depends on the animal, distance and timing, so give us a call and we'll let you know what's possible.

 

Can I visit after rehoming?

Of course. Once we reopen you're welcome to come and say g'day.

 

Can I adopt an animal from you?

Our animals stay with us for life, so we don't adopt them out. You can still adopt one in spirit: sponsor a goat, pig, horse or feathered friend from $3 a month and get a certificate and updates.

 

How can I help if I don't need to rehome an animal?

You can sponsor one of our animals from $3 a month, chip in to the Rescue Fund below, or share this page with your mates. Every bit helps keep the hay coming.
