Fairy Tails

Meshach proves that animals can heal inside and out. Just before Christmas in 2011, a good Samaritan found this orange cat with severe burns on his face, ears and beneath his tail. Police concluded the fire was started intentionally with a liquid accelerant. Meshach was treated by Best Friends Animal Shelter in Talent, who dubbed him Meshach in reference to the biblical character who was saved by divine intervention after being thrown into a furnace. Meshach was transferred to Sanctuary One to continue healing and matched with his forever home.

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
