A Home for Hooves Farm Sanctuary

A Home for Hooves Farm Sanctuary We provide a forever home for rescued farm animals who have been abandoned, seized by the S.P.C.A., or surrendered due to various circumstances.

We are a volunteer run, registered Charity organisation in Duncan BC, that offers a forever home for rescued farm animals who are abandoned, seized by the S.P.C.A., or surrendered due to various circumstances. Our Sanctuary was founded in September 2017 and we are the first and only Farm Sanctuary in Canada to be Accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries. We currently care for near

ly 200 residents including pigs, goats, sheep, cattle, horses, donkeys, chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, peafowl, dogs, guinea pigs, and cats. We ensure all our animals are provided with the best quality care and a safe home where they are able to live out their natural lives. We aim to advance education by providing workshops, seminars, classes, and presentations on animal practices, rescue, and care. In early 2019 we began an adoption and foster program to place healthy and well-suited, non-farm animals in safe and loving homes. Our Sanctuary provides a forever home for farm animals who are older, are difficult to place, have diverse needs, have behavioural issues, or require long term medical intervention. Our volunteers help us with the everyday care of the animals, social media, graphic design, fundraising, newsletter writing, and event planning, and ensure the animals are well cared for and our organisation runs smoothly. We would also like to acknowledge that our Sanctuary is located within the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territory of the Quw'utsun Nation, near the traditional village of Ts'alha'um.

Since arriving last November, Annabelle has blossomed in so many ways, yet her adorable little face still melts hearts just the same. 🖤

Did you know that pot-bellied pigs don’t fully mature until they’re around 2 to 3 years old?

That means we get to enjoy watching Annabelle continue to grow and flourish over the next few years!

The Shabby Chic Trio!

Goldie has been in our care since she was abandoned in the woods in Lake Cowichan 4 years ago. She is highly suspicious of all humans and often looks like a grumpy grandma.

Siiyu’ye (centre) has been with us for 2 years after she was surrendered due to her previous care taker moving and not being allowed chickens at her new home. She’s an expert grub hunter.

Patrick was abandoned 2 years ago in the woods in Victoria, an all too common fate for many roosters. He is very protective of his girls and takes his rooster duties very seriously.

This crew spends their day doing what chickens to best: scratching and inspecting the ground for treats!

We've raised over $23,685 of our $40,000 goal!

‼️ With only 6 days remaining until August 29th, your support is vital in helping us achieve our target! ‼️

This is your opportunity to make a significant impact. Your donation not only brings us closer to our goal but also ensures that we can install secure fencing for the turkeys, like Asher.

Strong, secure fencing is absolutely essential for the safety and well-being for the feathered residents. Turkeys need a safe space to roam freely, forage, and express their natural behaviors without the risk of predation or escape.

By enhancing our fencing, we can provide a safer, more enriching environment for the turkeys to thrive and live happily.

You can help make a meaningful difference in Asher life!

The crew from Extek Construction Ltd are working hard putting in the posts for our future goat/sheep area! We're looking forward to having a safe and secure fence, that they can't stick their heads through, which is a HUGE safety concern!

We will update our official total tomorrow morning for our fencing match campaign that has more than quadrupled thanks to all the media attention Earl has garnered in the past few days! It's been a bit of a whirl wind and we are incredibly grateful for everyone's kindness and generosity.

By improving our fencing, we can create a safer, more enriching environment for Earl to thrive in.
