Current Fundraisers
Running a sanctuary is a lot of work! These are some areas where we need some extra help.
Vet Bill
Our current vet bill is higher than normal and we need to pay it by the end of the year! Donating to this fundraiser helps us ensure continued medical care for all of our residents.
Our goal: $15,000
Hay & Straw
When the grass stops growing, we feed our grazers hay. The Peterborough area experienced a drought this summer, so we had to start feeding hay much earlier than normal. As a result, we are over budget on hay this year.
Our Goal: $20,000
Winter Ready
Winter is almost here!
We took in a number of animals and moved others around. Some areas need more insulation and protection from the cold wind.
Our Goal: $5,000
Book a Tour
Come and spend a couple of hours getting to know a variety of farm animals! Many of our residents enjoy visitors and getting pets. Hear their stories, learn about different farm animals - their individual personalities and common traits too.
Spending time in nature and with animals is good for your soul!
Monthly Sponsorships
Sponsoring an animal is a great way to make a real difference.
Sponsoring a resident means having a direct impact on their ongoing care.
Your support helps to pay for food, warm bedding for the winter, hoof care, and medical expenses. It ensures that we can support that animal for the rest of their life.
Help us help our residents live their best lives.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that we are living on aboriginal land that has been inhabited by Indigenous peoples from the beginning.
As settlers, we're grateful for the opportunity to live here and we thank all the generations of people who have taken care of this land - for thousands of years.
Long before today, as we gather here, there have been aboriginal peoples who have been the stewards of this place. In particular, we acknowledge the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe Mississauga adjacent to the Haudenosaunee Territory and in the territory covered by the Williams Treaty.
We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. We also recognize the contributions of Métis, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples have made, both in shaping and strengthening this community in particular, and our province and country as a whole.
As settlers, this recognition of the contributions and historic importance of Indigenous peoples must also be clearly and overtly connected to our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of Truth and Reconciliation real in our communities, and in particular to bring justice for murdered and missing indigenous women and girls across our country.
