When one is healed, all are healed, because we’re all interconnected.

While a lot of people think of Sanctuary One as an animal rescue, we are actually a care farm that includes animal rescue as a piece of our work. As a care farm we’re dedicated to rescuing domestic and farm animals, facilitating health and wellness for people, and promoting environmental stewardship. At Sanctuary One, people of all ages have the opportunity to volunteer on a real working farm and experience nature’s healing power firsthand.

John is living the Sanctuary One mission! He volunteers on the farm two times a week where he works in the garden, cares for the animals, and befriends all of the staff and other volunteers he meets. John has truly become an integral part of the Sanctuary One family and we’re so happy and grateful to have him on the farm feeling connected to the earth, animals and people.

I just wanted to thank Sanctuary One for the opportunity to help out at your farm, it truly is a peaceful place that has so many kind and caring people working together to try and make this crazy world of ours a better place to live in! The animals also agree! This became so apparent to me on Friday as I approached the front gate of Sanctuary One for another day of work. Upon opening the gate to gain access, the horse’s ran across the field to greet me, followed by a pack of goats. They came to say “Good morning” and welcome!! This was truly something special, and as if that were not special enough, Princess and Kippie (farm dogs) were waiting for me at the top of the driveway, tails wagging and genuinely glad to see me! This was absolutely the best reception I have ever experienced  in my entire life! Thank you for allowing me to be part of your team and help make a difference! Keep up the great work!

– John

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/ ...
