Reuben was found by a passerby on the side of the road as a newborn. She is now a big, beautiful red deer with a lot of sassiness (like most red deer), who loves to lick people, and she is also not too shy to kick people who tease her with pellets!
When you sponsor Reuben, you will be helping to provide food, comfortable environments and veterinary care for her and all the animals here at the Lyell Deer Sanctuary, and supporting us to be able to continue rescuing and rehabilitating more deer.
We are entirely self-funded, and every little bit helps so much!
You will also receive:
• A personalised sponsorship certificate
• A full-colour poster of Reuben
• Lyell Deer Sanctuary pen and stickers
• Quarterly letters/updates from Reuben herself, posted physically to the sponsor’s address (or delivered digitally if preferred). Children are encouraged to write back to her to receive a personal response!
• Free admission to the Deer Sanctuary for 12 months, so you can visit and give treats to Reuben as often as you like
• 10% off tickets to events at Lyell Deer Sanctuary, including our Christmas ‘Adopt-A-Reindeer’ activities and pre-booked group visits (including parties and weddings)
Reuben Sponsorship
We are a small family-run animal sanctuary, so when you sponsor an animal through us you get personal and individualised service. We are happy to adjust your sponsorship package to suit you: do you want to gift this to a whole family to enjoy together, or a whole class, or even delegate someone else to visit your deer if you can’t come yourself… Just send a message and we will try to find a solution that works for you.
