MEET OUR FAMILY
Can't make it on the 12th?
You can still be part of the day. A senior mule like Abraham eats about $85 of hay a month — sponsor a month of his hay, and we’ll send you a photo of him eating it.

Rescue, rehabilitate, retire — see what community support can build.
Good to know: the sanctuary is at 71840 Fishhawk Rd, Birkenfeld — about 30 minutes past Vernonia.
MAKE A DAY OF IT

Pick up lunch on your way through Vernonia, and Blue House Mediterranean Cafe will donate 10% of all lunch proceeds to the sanctuary. Lunch tastes better when it buys hay.
