Inclusivity at Sanctuary One

 

As a three-pronged mission focused on People, Animals and the Earth, we welcome all people who share an interest in, and have a passion for, our organization. We do not discriminate against visitors or volunteers based on race, color, religion, sex, gender, orientation, national origin, (dis)ability, age, or lifestyle. We believe in the power of inclusivity and welcome people who want to be a part of the magic that is Sanctuary One.

 

 

We believe care farms can serve as models for treating animals humanely and honoring their intrinsic physical and spiritual value. We act as a pressure release valve for law enforcement and animal rescue agencies and shelters. We provide a place of mutual healing for both animals and people. When animals are adopted through Sanctuary One adopters sign a contract stating the adopted rescue may not be used for breeding; they are solely adopted as a companion, whether that be a dog or cat, or a 1,000+ pound Black Angus cow.

 

 

Since its founding over ten years ago, Sanctuary One has provided a refuge for over 700 animals in need. Mistreated, frightened, sometimes sick, they have found a healing home with us, thanks to the generosity of our donors and the teamwork of staff, volunteers, and interns. Along the way, the farm has also provided a peaceful haven for people of all ages.

 

 

 

When all people can come together at Sanctuary One and find a space to connect to the earth and to our animal friends, we believe good things can happen. We strive to build a space where everyone can bring their skills and talents to advance our mission to provide a refuge for animals and a healing place for people while promoting environmental stewardship.

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
