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 care for nearly 200 residents at A Home for Hooves including pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, donkeys, cattle, horses, dogs, guinea pigs, cats, and peafowl.

​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!
