A Home for Hooves Farm Sanctuary

We are a volunteer run, registered Charity organisation, that offers a forever home for rescued farm animals who are abandoned, seized by the S.P.C.A., or surrendered due to various circumstances in Duncan, BC. Our Sanctuary was founded in September 2017 and we are the first and only Farm Sanctuary in Canada to be Accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries.

We currently care for nearly 200 residents including pigs, goats, sheep, cattle, horses, donkeys, chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, peafowl, dogs, guinea pigs, and cats. We ensure all our animals are provided with the best quality care and a safe home where they are able to live out their natural lives. We strive to promote the welfare of animals and we aim to advance education by providing workshops, seminars, classes, and presentations on animal practices, rescue, and care.

In early 2019 we began an adoption and foster program to place healthy and well-suited non-farm animals in safe and loving homes. Our Sanctuary provides a forever home for farm animals who are older, are difficult to place, have diverse needs, have behavioural issues, or require long term medical intervention.

Our volunteers help us with the everyday care of the animals, social media, graphic design, fundraising, newsletter writing, and event planning who ensure the animals are well cared for and our organisation runs smoothly.

We would also like to acknowledge that our Sanctuary is located within the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territory of the Quw'utsun Nation, near the traditional village of Ts'alha'um.
