Kokoro is our most confident chicken resident. She loves humans, and is so comfortable that she will even fall asleep on your lap. She is very funny, loves music (she plays with the xylophone), as well as jewelry (good luck trying to keep your bracelet), and snuggles. She is super soft, and very sweet. She arrived with the other 5 chickens when still young, and though she was debeaked, a very brutal process where baby chickens have the tip of their beak sliced off without pain relief, she has moved on and is all about love!

Coco, Luna, Holly and Maggie. These are our dogs and they are temporary residents, as they normally live in Tokyo. Luna was taken off the streets as a puppy, and it took a long time for us to touch her but is now so loving. Maggie is loud and crazy but cute. Holly and Coco are very old, from when we still lived in London, but still very fit. All our dogs are vegan and super healthy! We have had 3 more rescues, who we took care of until they passed away, either due to age or illness, in the safety and love of our home.

Ponzu is an egg-laying hen, born in July 2024 and welcomed to the sanctuary in October 2024. She is darker, like Kokoro, and is also very confident. She loves flowers and eating sweetcorn. She always wants to sit on a human.

She glows in the sun and is a big fan of lettuce, and gentle stroking.

She is always running around, and is very playful. She once stole a hairband and then ran off with it. She is very funny.

She is often doing her own thing, and comes to you when you are also alone. She does not fight for attention but is so grateful and sweet when she gets it.

She is really big, and a messy eater, and we love how she runs through the mud and then jumps on your lap. She creates chaos, but it is worth it!
