Welcome to A Home for Hooves

Canada's First Accredited Farm Sanctuary

At a Home for Hooves we provide farm animals with a forever home that emulates a natural and enriching environment. We strive to educate the public with knowledge and stories that inspire a compassionate lifestyle.

Finding Sanctuary

We are a volunteer run, registered Charity organisation, that offers a forever home for rescued, abandoned and surrendered farm animals in Duncan BC. Our sanctuary was founded in September 2017 and we are the first Farm Sanctuary in Canada to be Accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries.

We currently have over 70 residents at A Home for Hooves including pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, dogs, guinea pigs, cats and a peahen.

​Micro Pig Myth

Did you know that there is no such breed as a "Micro" or "Tea Cup" pig?  This is a very unfortunate myth that has been perpetuated by breeders to make a quick buck.  Pot Belly Pigs are considered "Micro", but in the pig world....remember that farm pigs average 1000 pounds!

​A New Place To Call Home

Our organisation is growing and we are currently looking for a donor to help us purchase a 20+ acre property for the Sanctuary.  Our 5 acre home is at maximum capacity with over 70 residents so we are looking for a new place to call home on Vancouver Island.  Please contact our founder Michelle if you would like to support us in this endeavour and discuss our business plan at michelle.singleton@homeforhooves.org.

Support Sanctuary

All donations made to A Home for Hooves go directly to the care of all our residents.  By making a donation you ensure their bellies are full, they have a warm and safe place to sleep, and that they receive timely medical care.

Make a difference in an animal's life today.
