Sanctuary One: A Welcoming and Healing Space for All People

We envision a world where we live and practice the idea that people, animals, and the earth are better together. Part of that vision is to ensure Sanctuary One is open and inclusive to all people. Every animal and person deserve to find a welcoming and healing space at Sanctuary One. We hope that visitors of the farm not only connect to our animal friends and the earth, but that they feel their intrinsic value within our community.

Through our myriad of partnerships we strive to strengthen our connections and serve as a resource to our community. In 2017, we began a partnership with ACCESS and began our first fresh produce donation. For several years we have worked, through our service learning program, with multiple local agencies and non-profits to ensure that local community members are able to visit the farm and find value in caring for others. Maslow Project, an agency that helps youth experiencing homelessness, is one local nonprofit we’ve partnered with for a few years. Throughout the summer break youth come and give back to the community by helping our animals and garden. One local service learning student tells us that in “going to Sanctuary One and helping animals that have nobody else to take care of them, it makes you feel like you were born to make a change.

We are excited to highlight two Martin Luther King Jr. events in our community that will benefit two of our partner organizations, Maslow Project and ACCESS. We are proud to highlight these events, not only because of our belief that everyone has value and our farm is a place for all, but to support our community partners who strive to ensure a better today and tomorrow for our Rogue Valley community.

Colleen and Cody, along with one of our awesome volunteers, Meredith, had a table at the Paws, Claws, and Curiosity Day at the ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum in Ashland. This was a family-friendly event that celebrated pet adoption, animal science, and STEAM education. It was a great event, and it was so good to see some of our other volunteers there, like Sansa and her family, and Ana! The puppies that Colleen brought with them are available for adoption! Their names are Rowdy and Ruckus- you can find out more about them and the other animals who are looking for a forever home by clicking this link: sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/If you would like to become a volunteer, click this link: sanctuaryone.org/visit-volunteer/volunteer/ Or send us an email at Jake@SanctuaryOne.org ...

Meet our Katahdin Sheep!We are excited to introduce these beautiful Katahdin Sheep to Sanctuary One!!When Colleen, our Animal Care Director, received a call from a fellow rescue that eight young and healthy sheep were headed to slaughter she committed to taking them in on the spot! The sheep found themselves in trouble when they would not stay inside their electric fencing and the owners wanted them off the property asap. Wildwood Farm Sanctuary and Preserve provided transportation for the sheep when enough of their committed donors contributed to the cost.These sheep arrived scared but have had time to decompress and trust humans, they are now friendly and seek human interaction. There are 5 wethers and 3 ewes. We would like them to be adopted together as they are a bonded flock. They could be adopted in pairs.Katahdin Sheep are hair sheep and shed without being sheared, so they are low-maintenance pets. They vary somewhat in the type and amount of fiber in their coats, though it’s preferred that sheep be completely free of woolly fibers after shedding. The coat can be any color or pattern.These sheep will be adopted as pets ONLY and a home check and reputable references are a must.Put in your application today if you can give these amazing sheep a safe and loving forever home!sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/adoption-application/ ...
