Looking for a canine partner that is already professionally trained? Look no further than Vinny!

Vinny came to Sanctuary One from a high kill shelter back in June. The shelter staff sent numerous videos of him interacting with dogs, children etc. and he did great! Once he arrived he was fine with our other shelter dogs and staff. Vinny was adopted but returned because he started resource guarding food, toys etc. This was not a behavior we had seen from him prior to being adopted. Our volunteer dog trainers froCompanion Canine Dog Training took Vinny home for a 2 week crash course where he learned to have manners and we found out that he is really smart and loves his training sessions!

Last week Colleen and Michael, one of our volunteers, took Vinny and another adoptable dog, Mr. Johnson, on a Companion Canine "pack walk". They loved it! The Companion Canine pack walks are once a month in Jacksonville, and if you and your four-legged friend would like to join in, just register online with them. It's a great way to socialize your dog, while meeting other people and getting some exercise.

Vinny is an amazing little guy but will need an adopter that is willing to keep up on his training. He is super smart and would excel in scent work or advanced obedience training. He has retained all of his training since he has been back with us. Vinny is very sweet, he loves to give hugs!

If Vinny sounds like a match for you, please put in your Adoption Application today:

Max and Neo is a great company that donates pet supplies to rescues like us when people buy their great products. Michael, one of our amazing volunteers, helped Little (who is available for adoption!) unpack one of the boxes Max & Neo sent us. She's a fan! She especially liked the octopus toy! Thank you so much, Max & Neo! We really appreciate your support!

Adoption Update: Merlin!
Merlin has found his forever home! Here's the email Colleen got from his new family, and it looks like everyone is doing great!
"Hi Colleen,

I am so so happy with Merlin, I feel like I hit the jackpot! He does really well off-leash, doesn't bark very much, and is learning his commands very quickly. He's also doing well with his sitter while I'm at work, and he and their dog are already great friends! Thank you for everything, he brings me so much joy 💙

💚 Marie 💙"

🐾 Did You Know? Sanctuary One Isn’t Just a Sanctuary—We’re a Place for Second Chances! 🐾

While our care farm is a safe haven for rescued animals, many of our furry friends are also looking for loving forever homes! 🏡💕 When you adopt from Sanctuary One, you’re not just giving an animal a home—you’re opening space for us to rescue even more animals in need.

And we have some exciting news! 🎉 We’ve just been invited to become a Volume Partner with - Friends of the Animals Community Spay & Neuter Clinic, meaning we now receive discounted services for our animals. This partnership is HUGE because we spay & neuter every dog and cat that enters our sanctuary, ensuring they are ready for adoption. 🐶🐱

💚 Supporting partnerships like this strengthens the entire nonprofit community! By working together, we’re reducing the number of homeless animals and ensuring more pets find loving families.

📢 Friends of the Animals Community Spay & Neuter Clinic officially opens for service on March 1, 2025! This is a game-changer for affordable pet care in our region, and we’re honored to be a part of it.

🐾 Looking to adopt? Visit our sanctuary and meet the incredible animals waiting for their forever homes! Adopting saves lives, and we’d love to help you find the perfect match.

Meet Sweet Spencer!

Spencer is an affectionate Nubian wether who is looking for a new home.

Spencer was adopted and in his new home for a year and a half but returned because his Mom became ill and could no longer care for him. He is used to lots of attention and love. He is looking for a new home with other goats and a family that will spend time with him.

If you are interested in adopting this amazing goat, please submit your Adoption Application by clicking this link: https://sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/adoption-application/

Adoption Update: Bones!
Here's the email Colleen got from Bones' new family- it looks like it's a match made in heaven!

"Hi Colleen! Thanks so much for reaching out! I was literally thinking of you yesterday and was planning to send you some pics. Bones (now called Rêve, the French word for “dream”) is settled in wonderfully with his sister Kiara, they play-fight-nap-repeat all day. He is loved within an inch of his life! I am literally indebted to you for life for letting me take this boy home. He has my whole heart and I couldn’t design a more perfect cat."
We just love making matches like this one! ❤🐾

Zeke was rescued by Good Samaritans who were feeding him and noticed that he was having trouble eating. After going to the vet to have a few teeth removed, neutered and vaccinated they discovered that he is FIV+. Melly Cat Rescue (mellycatrescue.com) was kind enough to take Zeke into their rescue then transfer him to us. Zeke continued to have dental issues so our vet decided the best protocol for him was to extract all his remaining teeth. He is now happy and pain free but will need to eat wet food going forward.

Zeke is very shy but extremely sweet once he is comfortable in his surroundings. He loves to sleep on your lap. He has had a tough start to his life but is ready to find a quiet home where he can relax or just lay on the couch. Zeke will need to be an indoor kitty only.

If you have love to give, Zeke would like for you to come meet him soon.

It's snowy out there! The care farm is closed for volunteers due to the snow, but our staff still has to go and take care of all the animals. They are such a dedicated group, and we appreciate their hard work. Stay safe, everyone!

"Hello there! My name is Fergie, and I am the sweetest little puppy you'll ever meet! I am friendly, quiet and love to cuddle. I am a gentle pup, but I have lots of energy and love to play! I love to meet new people and give kisses!

I can be a bit shy at first, but I'll warm up to you in no time! I am still just a baby, so I am looking for a family who can spend lots of time with me, teach me new things, and give me lots of love and affection.

I am a Border Collie mix so I will need an active family as I get older. I do have an injury on my head but it is healing very nicely and does not cause me any issues. I will be available for adoption after I am old enough to be spayed.

Please submit an Adoption Application below if you want to adopt me, we are going to have so much fun together! https://sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/adoption-application/

🌟 Join the Sanctuary One Volunteer Orientation February 15th! 🌟

Are you ready to get your hands dirty, make new friends, and be part of something truly impactful? We’re looking for amazing people like YOU to join our community of volunteers at Sanctuary One. From caring for rescued animals to helping our Earth Care team in the gardens, there are so many ways to get involved!

📸 In this photo, Christina, one of our incredible volunteers, is working with Jess, our Earth Care Director, to prepare strawberry plants for winter storage. This year, thanks to a little help from our friends at the ACT Group in Grants Pass, we had an abundance of strawberries in our garden. Now, we're prepping extra plants to use as natural ground cover in our gardens—just one of the many rewarding projects you can take part in as a volunteer!

💚 Whether you’re passionate about gardening, animal care, or simply giving back, there’s a place for you at Sanctuary One.

For gardeners, winter is for dreaming up and planning the season ahead. For our Earth Care Director, it is also a time to articulate the vision and goals of the Earth Care Program at large. The gardens here on the farm are just one aspect of this larger web. Earth Care's primary aim is to foster ecological relatedness, community and reciprocity. Our impact comes from responding to the needs of the earth, the animals, the community and the farm. And, how we will evaluate our success will come from listening to the feedback from the earth, the animals, the community and the farm.

One of the major ways we intend to shift more into systems of reciprocity is through understanding volunteerism to be a form of service learning. In exchange for hands-on energy, time, and care, we want all who work in our gardens to gain educational experiences. This could look like hands-on training in fruit tee pruning, or it could mean learning how the pruning of a branch is much like pruning away unwanted things in our own lives; in doing so our energy can move into the parts of us we need to serve our own flourishing as well as that of the surrounding ecosystem of which we are a part. Every season, every plant, every task, every project has a seed of learning within. Caring for the earth means being stewards of the land and its people.

Meet Mr. Johnson!
Mr. Johnson is a young, adorable male dog (around 1 year old) with lots of love to give. He's an incredibly affectionate and friendly dog who will instantly make you fall in love with him. He's very loyal and gentle around everyone he meets. He can sometimes be a bit goofy, which adds to his charm!

Mr. Johnson is very playful and will keep you entertained for hours. He enjoys going on walks and meeting new people. He's the perfect companion and will surely bring your life joy. He is great with kids (see video) and other dogs.

If you're interested in adopting Mr. Johnson, please submit your application today! We can't wait to see him find his forever home. https://sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/adoption-application/

Adoption Update: Little!
Here's the email Colleen received from Little's new family,

"Hi Colleen!

I am finally finding a moment to let you know that Little is doing just great. She's decided that car rides are fun now and jumps right in -- that was a challenge at first but she learns so fast! We took her to a restaurant yesterday and, on the way to the patio, she tried to make friends with everyone- she's a joy and a challenge!
Little was a bit jittery on our first walks -- everything was new and so much to see! -- but she's getting to know the neighborhood and really enjoying it. Her diet has been excellent - very healthy -- and I'm learning that she will go through chew toys pretty quick (no surprise there). She adores her toys though and keeps them intact (yay!) -- the birthday cake still has a candle, ha.
She wants to be where I am and once she gets settled is a very good dog! I am loving this funny girl, Little -- who at some point will get a second name, still waiting for it to come to me/us. Little Luna is a possibility...
Thanks so much, Colleen!! Sanctuary One is a special place... and the work all of you do is much appreciated! Down the line, if you're out this way, please let me know and we can have a visit.
Best, Cynthia"
