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).
