Why are Sanctuary animals available for adoption?

It is the Sanctuary’s goal to find loving and permanent homes for (nearly) all of our animal residents. Simply put, the more animals we adopt out, the more animals we can rescue. Truly a win win.

What are the benefits of adopting?

Every animal adopted from Sanctuary One comes with a lifetime promise. If something happens and you can no longer care for the animal you adopt, he or she is always welcome back at the Sanctuary.

Each animal available for adoption has been evaluated by a veterinarian and is current on vaccinations. They’ve also undergone a basic behavioral assessment and have had their diets evaluated and specialized as needed. All house pets have been spayed or neutered, and all male farm animals except chickens and waterfowl have been neutered.

In addition, our staff provides free telephone/email counseling for all adopters. If you have any questions or concerns about your adopted animal, contact us and we’ll do our very best to help you.

Last but not least, adopting an animal feels great! When you adopt instead of buying, you are helping to reduce the number of homeless animals in our community.

How does the adoption process work?

We take great care to ensure every animal adopted goes to a loving home where they will be well cared for. Each potential adopter is asked to complete an adoption application and agree to a home visit to ensure they are committed to lifetime care for the animals they adopt.

Please note: the Sanctuary reserves the right to decline any adoption that we feel will not be in the animal’s best interest. We have the same kind of adoption standards that most local animal shelters and humane societies have, including not adopting out an animal if he or she will be used for breeding, meat, milking, or re-sale.

How do I choose?

Visit our current list of available animals. Once you find the animal that piques your interest, contact us to schedule an appointment to meet the animal(s) you are interested in adopting.

How do I apply?

Submit an Adoption Application online (recommended). You can also download an application and email it to info@SanctuaryOne.org, deliver it to us in person (by appointment only), or post mail it to Sanctuary One, 13195 Upper Applegate Road, Jacksonville, OR 97530.

What happens after I apply?

After your application is reviewed you will be interviewed by our staff. They will guide you through the rest of the adoption process.

How do I get my new companion?

Preferably all adopters will be able to transport animals to their new home. If that isn’t possible Sanctuary One will make every effort to assist you.

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at 541.899.8627 or e-mail info@SanctuaryOne.org.

Recently we had Shearie McShearie's Shearing Service come and shear the wool sheep we have at the care farm, and he did a great job. It's important to shear wool sheep to keep them comfortable and healthy, and he does this in a very stress-free way, and the sheep feel so much better afterward! We also have eight Katahdin sheep staying with us, and they are hair sheep, which means that they do not need to be sheared. Katahdin sheep are adaptable, hardy, and low-maintenance. Ideal for pasture and grass-based systems, Katahdin sheep adapt well to different environments, tolerating heat, humidity, and parasites. Katahdin sheep are docile and easy to handle, with a moderate flocking instinct. Spring is the perfect time to adopt these sweet sheep, with all the new growth. These little "natural lawnmowers" can definitely help you keep your weeds at bay!

May is Mental Health Awareness MonthAt Sanctuary One, we believe healing happens when people connect with nature, animals, and each other. Our care farm is more than just a peaceful place—it’s a space where individuals can experience the proven mental health benefits of being outdoors, working with their hands, and forming meaningful connections.Studies show that care farming—therapeutic experiences involving farm activities, animals, and natural settings—can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve self-esteem, and create a sense of belonging. We see this firsthand through our programs that support students, volunteers, service learners, and visitors alike.As tour season kicks off, we invite you to come experience the power of care farming for yourself:🌿 Take a tour of the farm and meet the animals🐾 Volunteer your time in the garden or with animal care🌞 Reconnect with what matters—yourself, your community, and the earthThis Mental Health Awareness Month, let Sanctuary One be a place where wellness takes root.📅 Learn more and schedule your visit: sanctuaryone.org ...
