Wildfire Update-Wednesday

We just learned that we were increased to a Level 2 evacuation this evening, so we know the decision to start moving early was a good one.

Staff spent the day getting large and small animals ready for transport to foster homes and partner agencies. What a busy day–sort of organized pandemonium–but over half of our animals made it safely to their homes-away-from-home. We have an amazing staff, amazing interns, and best of all, amazing supporters and volunteers.

Thanks a million to our wonderful community. For those who have tried to call the farm or email us, please be patient. We have one incoming phone line, and it was tied up most of the day taking care of foster business. If you want to offer your services as a foster home, please take the first step of filling out our short online questionnaire. We are using that to evaluate the many potential fosters out there.

Thanks to SO Humane and Equamore for graciously taking in our dogs and horses, respectively. Thanks to KTVL Channel 10 and KOBI Channel 5 for getting our story out.

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/ ...
