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.

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"

Meet Merlin, the powerful wizard!

This young boy will surely bring lots of wonder and magic into anyone's life. He loves his doggy pals as well as his two-legged human friends!

We don't know much about Merlin's start in life other than he was abandoned with the rest of his litter not far from Rescue Ranch in Yreka CA. While he was reasonably timid at first he quickly learned that we weren't so bad and showed off his goofy and playful personality.

He has been amazing in playgroups and loves making new canine friends wherever he goes.

Meet Bones!

This young and affectionate kitty is as sweet as they come! He is the first to meet you at the door and always looking for a lap to curl up on.

Bones and his 2 sibling were found in a dumpster at a very young age and were taken in by a good Samaritan who raised them with other cats and even dogs!

Bones will be neutered on 1/8/25 and then will be available for adoption. Put in your Adoption Application for this amazing little guy today: https://sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/adoption-application/

Fun Fact Friday: Care Farms!
Did you know that care farming has been practiced in Europe for decades, with countries like the Netherlands hosting over 1,000 care farms?

But what exactly is a care farm? A care farm is a place where agriculture and therapeutic practices come together to promote healing, growth, and connection for people, animals, and the environment. These farms provide meaningful activities like caring for animals, growing food, and connecting with nature—all of which support physical and mental well-being.

Sanctuary One, established in 2007, proudly stands as the first care farm on the West Coast, bringing this innovative approach to healing and growth to Southern Oregon.

Living Opps are a long time partner with our animal and horticultural therapy. Our friends braved the cold in December to visit the care farm. They helped not just share their love with our animals, but also helped with dog training and socialization. We're looking forward to their monthly visit next week! There's new animals for them to meet and new things to discover in the gardens.

Happy 2025! Wishing you and yours health and happiness in the new year from all of us at Sanctuary One.

Adopt Vinny!
Adopt Vinny!

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 from Companion Canine 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! This is the video the trainers, Companion Canine Dog Training, made of him. 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: https://sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/adoption-application/
