Lucky 13 Find their Forever Home

At Sanctuary One, we are grateful for the diverse individuals and families that open their hearts and homes to rescued animals. We take great care to ensure every animal adopted goes to a loving home where they will be well cared for. This March we were thrilled to find exactly this kind of adopter when one generous family welcomed 13 Sanctuary One animals to their beautiful home in Bend, OR! Congratulations to Aruba, Coaltrane, Mcgivar & Kavier the alpacas, Donner & Blixem the goats, Aspen, Elm, Birch, Orton, Drake & Lover Boy the ducks, and GiGi the charismatic goose on finding their perfect forever home with this exceptional family.

We caught up with Karen and her family, the compassionate adopters, after their first month with their new companions, “they have all settled in and seem to be happy here and we just LOVE having them all. They bring us so much joy and, of course, there is never a dull moment. They all make us smile and laugh in their own individual ways.” As we offer animals care, love and healing, they offer so much in return. Sanctuary One is all about reciprocal healing relationships between people, animals, and the Earth.

Including this record breaking adoption, 38 animals have already been adopted from Sanctuary One in 2021! Because of our kindhearted volunteers, Care Family members who provide sustained support for this work, and caring people who open their hearts to rescued animals, we are maintaining the momentum of a monumental year. In 2020, 74 animals were adopted from the care farm. The more animals we can find loving homes for, the more animals in need we can rescue!

Karen and her family are one of many who have taken part in a wonderful adoption experience, she shared that “Sanctuary One’s main priority at all times is the comfort and happiness of the animals they care for and find homes for, and the team are all obviously 100% dedicated to their mission. Thanks to them, we now have wonderful additions to our family and are excited to hear about the next set of animals that Sanctuary One can now rescue in their place!” On behalf of all of us at the care farm thank you to Karen, and all of the dedicated and compassionate people who offer their time, attention, and hearts to rescued animals! 

You can directly help animals at the care farm by supporting them through our Chewy or Amazon wishlists. From helping us stock our vet approved diet for cats, to toys for the dogs and treats for the goats, there are so many ways to support this important work. Thanks for being a part of it!

Farewell to Pavarotti-At Sanctuary One, the bonds we form with the animals in our care run deep, creating a profound circle of connection and healing. Among them was Pavarotti, affectionately known as Pav, a spirited Boer goat. Pav arrived at Sanctuary One at the age of 12, a time when many goats like him have already said goodbye. Yet, surrounded by nurturing hands and compassionate hearts, Pav thrived for another eight years, becoming a cherished symbol of resilience and the mutual care that flows between the sanctuary’s animals and its people. He embodied strength with a gentle presence that deeply impacted everyone who knew him. His peaceful demeanor brought a sense of calm and connection to those who cared for him, inspiring perseverance and providing moments of reflection in the serene surroundings of the care farm. For many, his ability to connect with people on such a profound level served as a reminder of the unspoken bond between animals and humans—a bond rooted in trust, healing, and mutual respect. Pavarotti’s legacy, and that of the other animals we've lost, serves as a powerful reminder of the full circle of care that defines Sanctuary One. The animals we nurture also nurture us, teaching compassion, patience, and connection to everyone who walks through our gates—from staff and volunteers to field trip students and visitors. As we continue our important work, we remain committed to honoring this beautiful balance, ensuring that Sanctuary One continues to be a place of healing, growth, and connection for animals, people, and the earth alike. ...

With summer solstice upon us, it's time to harvest lavender! Our intern Marley was very patient with the bees as we collected them into bundles, even cutting around stalked occupied by the little fuzzy guys. We will be donating a big box of lavender bundles to the Teresa McCormick Center this week, along with some tomato plants for those participants who are interested in growing their own 'maters. With 80 tomato plants freshly planted in our Healing & Learning Garden this past week, there will be plenty for all TMC participants this season! ... See MoreSee Less
