Fairy Tails

Senior animals have a hard time getting adopted. Mix in illness and the odds further decline. That could have been Leo’s story if he hadn’t come to Sanctuary One. A stray senior with a progressive immune disease, Leo waited patiently for his perfect match—a special person who understood their time with Leo would be shorter and the cost of care higher. Leo found his forever home, living out his days with people who loved him.

*Watch Duty Update* Morning update: The fire is roughly 70% lined and has retained its footprint from yesterday afternoon. Upper Applegate Road remains closed to the public at this time so we ask that folks stay away from the area unless you're a resident to allow our single paved road for emergency responders. Again, a BIG thank you to everyone who has reached out to us as soon as they heard about the fire. There are not enough words to thank the 200+ wildfire fighter folks who have come to help keep people safe. 6:40pm: The fire is currently holding around 350 acres.

Farewell, sweet BlinkinBlinkin arrived at Sanctuary One in 2010 alongside her beloved mother, Winkin. The two Boer goats were an inseparable pair—so deeply bonded that they would cry if the other was out of sight, spending peaceful hours side by side in the pasture.When Winkin passed, Blinkin grieved deeply, but in time, she slowly found her place among the rest of the care farm goats. She began participating in field trips and tours, gently teaching visitors about connection, resilience, and the quiet strength of animals. In her later years, Blinkin preferred to greet guests from the comfort of the pond pasture, soaking up the sun and companionship.She also had a gift for comforting others—offering calm presence during grief retreats and patiently helping scared, newly rescued goats learn to trust again. Her presence was a source of healing for many, both human and animal.The farm feels a little quieter without her, but her spirit lingers in the pastures she loved. We’re so grateful for the years we shared with Blinkin—for all she gave, and all she taught us.A few other memories about Blikin from Colleen-"She loved to be brushed. She would lean into you and if you stopped she would follow you around until you started again!She had the cutest little "grunt" whenever she had an opinion about something, or she was walking, you could always hear her little voice.She had the softest ears ❤️❤️Even in her last days she loved to be with people, she enjoyed the time we spent with her. Just sitting in her stall or out in the pasture she would embrace the moment, still leaning into you to show she cared.I miss her dearly......"Happy trails, sweet Blinkin. You will always be part of the Sanctuary One story. ... See MoreSee Less
