Matt stayed with Sanctuary One for a month and quickly became a vital member of the Sanctuary One family.

I came to Sanctuary One to intern with the hopes of better understanding what the day to day operations look like for a farm sanctuary. I am in the early stages of starting one up in the Seattle area. From day one, the entire staff welcomed me and made me feel right at home. I had a great experience helping care for the animals on a daily basis and seeing a lot of what goes on behind the scenes to keep an organization like this successful. Everyone went out of their way to answer any questions I had and to involve me in operations I had expressed interest in. Caring for and getting to really know the animals that call Sanctuary One home was truly an amazing experience and I left having made many new friends (both two legged and four).

Adoption Update: Ven (aka Blackjack)!Here's the email Colleen received from Ven's human mom, it sounds like a purrr-fect fit!"Ven is a gem, and I have had the best time with him. I think I found a my friend for life. He is very sweet and he has adjusted to the residence hall with ease. He doesn’t care when we need to leave for fire alarms, and sometimes I put him in his backpack and take him out on walks with me. He is 14 pounds of big boy so he is hard to carry but if it means he can get a taste of outside in safety it’s worth it. I bought him several toys but he prefers to play with boxes and paper bags. His all time favorite toy is a plastic Wendy’s spoon. This last month and a half he has started to chase his tail while on top of his cat tower. It is the only spot I’ve seen him chase his tail. Why he doesn’t do it on the ground is beyond me. He is super chatty, and I was not expecting that from a deaf cat at all but I love it because I can talk back to him even if he doesn’t hear me. I am so happy that you let me adopt this silly goose of a cat. He is perfectly weird and we are a perfect fit (even if he just stole my glasses and hid them under the oven for a week and a half)!" ... See MoreSee Less

Ah, showy milkweed, Asclepias speciosa! Full disclosure, this photo is not of the farm’s milkweed (the farm has both the showy and narrow-leaf kinds), however we wanted to share this shot from a park in Medford where the Monarch butterfly graced this lovely flower…How could we not share this one?! ...

Meet Merlin, the powerful wizard!This young boy will surely bring lots of wonder and magic into anyone's life. He loves his doggy pals as well as his two-legged human friends!We don't know much about Merlin's start in life other than he was abandoned with the rest of his litter not far from Rescue Ranch in Yreka CA. While he was reasonably timid at first he quickly learned that we weren't so bad and showed off his goofy and playful personality.He has been amazing in playgroups and loves making new canine friends wherever he goes.Put in an Adoption Application for this awesome boy today: sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/adoption-application/ ...
