Animal Spotlight: Scout

At Sanctuary One, we are honored to be a loving home for so many special animals in need for as long as they require. Some animals join us only for a brief time and others call the care farm home for many years; all of them leave a lasting legacy of hope. 

 

 

Scout loved guests

Everyone who has been on the farm in the last few years knows Scout, a beautiful pinto gelding standing over 15 hands high. Scout came to Sanctuary One in 2014 when his owner passed away, and has been a dear member of our family ever since. Scout has made a real difference for our volunteers and service-learning groups who visit the farm. From Compass House & Living Opportunities to Ruch Outdoor School and Inspire, Scout was always happy to work with visitors to heal and learn.

Scout with Maslow Project

 

Ever the affectionate horse, he loved receiving attention and he inspired people to laugh, relax, and feel a sense of connection and wonderment with the world around them.

Sharing a laugh

 

After sharing his love with us for over half a decade, we are thrilled to announce that Scout has finally found his perfect adopter! 

Scout with his new family friend

 

It took a long time for Scout to find the right adopter. He is over 17 years old and has special needs associated with his swayback condition, but that’s what Sanctuary One is all about; no one gets left behind and there are no expiration dates. Animals who come to the care farm rest easy knowing they always have a place to call home. He has earned a big place in all of our hearts and we are happy that he has finally found his perfect fit. Thank you for helping make Scout’s journey possible!

For gardeners, winter is for dreaming up and planning the season ahead. For our Earth Care Director, it is also a time to articulate the vision and goals of the Earth Care Program at large. The gardens here on the farm are just one aspect of this larger web. Earth Care's primary aim is to foster ecological relatedness, community and reciprocity. Our impact comes from responding to the needs of the earth, the animals, the community and the farm. And, how we will evaluate our success will come from listening to the feedback from the earth, the animals, the community and the farm. One of the major ways we intend to shift more into systems of reciprocity is through understanding volunteerism to be a form of service learning. In exchange for hands-on energy, time, and care, we want all who work in our gardens to gain educational experiences. This could look like hands-on training in fruit tee pruning, or it could mean learning how the pruning of a branch is much like pruning away unwanted things in our own lives; in doing so our energy can move into the parts of us we need to serve our own flourishing as well as that of the surrounding ecosystem of which we are a part. Every season, every plant, every task, every project has a seed of learning within. Caring for the earth means being stewards of the land and its people. ... See MoreSee Less

Adoption Update: Little!Here's the email Colleen received from Little's new family,"Hi Colleen! I am finally finding a moment to let you know that Little is doing just great. She's decided that car rides are fun now and jumps right in -- that was a challenge at first but she learns so fast! We took her to a restaurant yesterday and, on the way to the patio, she tried to make friends with everyone- she's a joy and a challenge!Little was a bit jittery on our first walks -- everything was new and so much to see! -- but she's getting to know the neighborhood and really enjoying it. Her diet has been excellent - very healthy -- and I'm learning that she will go through chew toys pretty quick (no surprise there). She adores her toys though and keeps them intact (yay!) -- the birthday cake still has a candle, ha.She wants to be where I am and once she gets settled is a very good dog! I am loving this funny girl, Little -- who at some point will get a second name, still waiting for it to come to me/us. Little Luna is a possibility...Thanks so much, Colleen!! Sanctuary One is a special place... and the work all of you do is much appreciated! Down the line, if you're out this way, please let me know and we can have a visit.Best, Cynthia" ...
