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!

Here is a photo our intern Oliven took while some of our field trip 3rd graders from Mae Richardson Elementary were visiting the Healing & Learning Garden. In the photo, we just finished talking about the vegetable garden and the native pollinator plants and were headed to the shade to talk about what reciprocity means to the Earth Care program's unique kind of community garden. Community members like volunteers and service learning groups grow food in the garden, which is in turn donated to food pantries. Community supporting community. Similarly, we also give some of the harvest to our animals who so generously gift us with their fertility-growing manure. To schedule a field trip, click this link: sanctuaryone.org/field-trips/ ...
