Board Spotlight: Roxanne Trusty

In this spotlight we sat down with Sanctuary One board member, Roxanne Trusty. She enjoys exploring throughout the backwoods of the PNW and is happy to call the Rogue Valley her home. We talked about what has stood out to her and her work with Sanctuary One during her first 7 months of joining the board.

“My experience with Sanctuary One shows just how inclusive and supportive this organization is. As an ARPAS certified Livestock Nutritionist with experience educating our community in animal husbandry, I will proudly speak to how this organization truly cares about what is best for the lifetime of the animals at the Sanctuary. Because of this superior care for their animals I’ve seen visitors, volunteers, and staff experience a beautiful connection with the animals taken in by Sanctuary One.

However, Sanctuary One stands by their mission to help People, Animals and Earth and no matter what direction you look, you can come to a positive connection. In their gardens you see the staff and volunteers caring for the earth with the highest of respect and regard. Every effort to only take what is needed from the pastures for the animals, supplying natural habitat for pollinators, and giving the bounty of their gardens for humans in need.

Through the volunteer work, tours, and service learning, people have the opportunity to make a deeper connection to the earth and rescued animals than most will experience in their daily lives. Sanctuary One champions People, Animals and Earth in every way.” – Roxanne

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
