Hands-on farm help
Keep the sanctuary running.
Our volunteer hands-on-the-farm program offers a meaningful, hands-on opportunity to support our rescue by helping with daily farm tasks, caring for animals, and keeping our sanctuary running smoothly.
From cleaning enclosures and feeding animals to assisting with property projects, every task plays a vital role in giving these animals the life they deserve.
Because we are a working rescue, volunteer days are scheduled in advance, allowing us to create a productive, organized, and rewarding experience for everyone involved.
🔒 Scheduled day and time for volunteer sessions for a focused, impactful experience.
Over 100 rescued animals
Animals you'll be helping.
Step into the heart of the rescue and experience what it truly means to care for animals in need. As you help with daily farm chores — feeding, cleaning, and tending to each animal — you'll play a real role in their care and comfort. Every task, no matter how small, helps provide a better life for animals who deserve a second chance.
