Thank you so much for giving us a tour of Sanctuary One yesterday. We were prepared to love it and certainly did! Warmest congratulations and gratitude to each of you for the marvelous and much-needed work you are doing there.

I think about Sanctuary One all the time. I dream of returning if the right opportunity were to arise. When I explain it to people I tell them that it’s my heaven and I really mean it. My time there with you and others was the chapter of my adult life that I will recall the most fondly, passionately, and vividly.  I wouldn’t be who I am today in terms of my values, worldview, and dreams without S1 and the incredible love, support and guidance.

Caroline, Intern

Thank you so much for the experience! Your Sanctuary is ideal and life-changing.

Lorja, Tour Participant

Thank you so much for the great experience! Although my stay was short I learned a lot. I greatly appreciate your welcoming arms, helping hands and warm hearts. Also, thanks for your patience! This place is truly a special one because of the care and devotion you put into it. I will always remember the time I spent with you, the animals and the land.

Mary Anne, Intern

Thanks so much for having us and letting us hang with your animals. I love what you’re doing—it’s truly amazing.

Sanctuary One has filled such a void for us and the boys here at the program. This population needs contact with animals, earth and serenity. Our time at the Sanctuary is very special, full of little magical moments and such unity among the group. The level of kindness goes way up while there, as well as returning to the program. I notice some of the higher energy kids calming down and having much more relaxed interactions with others. Overall, I feel the experiences at Sanctuary One are priceless in the recovery of our clients at Lithia.

Pokey, Lithia Springs Boys Residential Program

I’m going to start a care farm just like Sanctuary One because you inspire me so much!

As a recent transplant to southern Oregon, my primary goal was to find someplace locally where I could “settle in,” meet like-minded people and begin making a positive impact in my new community. I couldn’t have found a more perfect place than Sanctuary One. The benefits are countless. Of course, there’s the simple joy that comes with giving — contributing to the happiness and well being of these rescued animals, and connecting with the folks who care for them. And as a dog walker here, I’m continuously rewarded by the sight of goofy drooling faces and madly wagging tails. What could be better than that? Not to mention the health benefits of working here: fresh air, lots of vitamin D and the opportunity to walk nearly nonstop for a few hours with exuberant four-footed companions. No gym membership required!

Becky, Volunteer

Thank you for the opportunity to come and intern at Sanctuary One. It has been wonderful living here and getting to know you all—you are an awesome group of people and animals. I’ve loved connecting with the animals and being in the outdoors of Oregon’s Applegate Valley! I appreciate this experience and hope to work with animals in the future.

Chloe, Intern

I want to thank you for the opportunity for me to help at Sanctuary One. Going there has showed me to care about the animals and not just myself because it is hard for me to open up about my feelings. I also have the connection that the animals and I are similar because we have both been hurt by others and then find someone or some place that cares for you. I want to thank you for letting me help there.

April's Blog, titled A Continuum of Care", is written by our Earth Care Director, Jess, and in it she reflects on this question: "what does "care" look like?""At Sanctuary One, we talk a lot about care—care for the land, the animals, and each other. But what does that care actually look like? This winter, I took time to reflect on the growing season and what it means to participate in a continuum of care—one that stretches across species, time, and space."

Adoption Update: Woody (aka Comet)!Here's the email Colleen got from Tod- sounds like Woody has found the perfect "furr-ever" home! We love finding the right home for our animal friends- take a look at the animals we have available for adoption: sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/ From dogs and cats, to goats and sheep, we've got lots of deserving animals who need a home!"Hi Colleen, Remember when Woody was known as Comet at your place? And we thought that little tiny puppy was a blue heeler/Jack Russell mix? Well, that little tiny puppy is now a year old and weighs more than fifty pounds of muscle! Still growing too.He's definitely half blue heeler, and is a wonderful older brother to our 8 month heeler puppy, always looking out for him and making sure he doesn't get lost. For the other half, our best guess is German short-haired pointer. He looks very like one he befriended at the dog park. And he loves water, getting into it whenever he can and drying off instantly!He still loves to sleep on my shoulder in the morning when I have my tea. Quite a sight!We love our Woody. Thank you for finding him for us!Tod" ... See MoreSee Less
