Matt stayed with Sanctuary One for a month and quickly became a vital member of the Sanctuary One family.

I came to Sanctuary One to intern with the hopes of better understanding what the day to day operations look like for a farm sanctuary. I am in the early stages of starting one up in the Seattle area. From day one, the entire staff welcomed me and made me feel right at home. I had a great experience helping care for the animals on a daily basis and seeing a lot of what goes on behind the scenes to keep an organization like this successful. Everyone went out of their way to answer any questions I had and to involve me in operations I had expressed interest in. Caring for and getting to really know the animals that call Sanctuary One home was truly an amazing experience and I left having made many new friends (both two legged and four).

Duckie, now Daisy, came to us after we received a phone call from the City of Medford that a duck had flown into their 2nd story building. Concerned employees rushed out to help the duck and Jennifer, a city employee, took Duckie home for the night until Colleen could meet up with her the next morning. As seen in the pictures, Duckie loved to swim in Jennifer's bathroom sink! After reading an ad that a neighbor was searching for a companion for her solo duck Margot, Colleen quickly reached out to her neighbor and the rest is history- Daisy and Margot are now bff’s!Update from adopter:"Daisy is adorable, she perches up on the awning and watches the world go by. Sometimes she gets after Margot duck because that silly duck still quacks all day long...ugh... She's really a wonderful girl and we're happy to have her ☺️Maggie and Preston" ... See MoreSee Less

So how about this factoid: A small group of ladybugs is known as a “loveliness” (!) Volunteer Week 2024 could be compared to the swarming of multiple “lovelinesses” of ladybugs making their way to the farm to benefit our garden ecosystems. Ladybugs are both significant pollinators, as well as feeders on other insects (like aphids and lace bugs) who can wreak havoc on a garden when their populations are out of balance. Ladybugs help bring beauty and balance to our gardes, just like our deeply appreciated volunteers. Here are just a few photos of some of such critters from Volunteer Week 2024! 🐞 ... See MoreSee Less
