Our mission is Promoting Compassion, Protecting Nature, & Inspiring Change. We are Oregon's first farm animal sanctuary to earn accreditation from the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) -- an exacting process in which we demonstrated the highest standards of animal care, organizational structure, and financial stewardship. After spending our first 10 years on our founder's 98 acres of lovingly protected woodland, oak savanna, wetland, orchard, and pasture land, we have built a haven for native plants and animals and a lifelong refuge for more than 100 animals rescued from abuse in animal agriculture. Now we are fully into our capital campaign to secure a permanent home property for the sanctuary and preserve, where we'll be an educational hub of activity for our community.
