Serving Our Mission

  • In our first ten years we sheltered over 700 animals. We continue to increase the types of animals we can care for and rehome at Sanctuary One. In addition to cats, dogs, horses, chickens, and a variety of farm animals, we now provide humane care for FIV-positive cats and alpacas.

    ...
  • Our gardens keep growing! Originally barren rocky earth, our  permaculture-inspired gardens have expanded to over 35,000 square feet, with exclusive spaces for our community partners. Starting in 2017, food grown in our gardens is donated to local food bank partners.

    ...
  • Each year we impact the lives of thousands of visitors through farm tours, field trips, and service learning. Our dedicated volunteers and interns perform all aspects of care farming every day of the year, providing nearly 10,000 hours of service annually.

    ...
  • Sanctuary One has grown exponentially since first opening our gates in 2007. This is demonstrated by the dramatic rise in tour requests, partnerships and animal intakes. Community support tells us we’re filling a critical void. But we can’t do it without support.

People, Animals & the Earth. Better Together.

About Sanctuary One

Located on 55 acres in Oregon's beautiful Applegate Valley, Sanctuary One was established in 2007 as the West Coast's first care farm. It was founded by a small group of visionaries who never wavered in their belief in the Sanctuary’s mission: to be a safe place for animals and a healing place for people while promoting environmental stewardship.

Sanctuary One provides a safe home to rescued farm animals and house pets. We work with area shelters, rescues, and law-enforcement agencies to bring in animals who receive personalized attention, loving rehabilitation, and a peaceful retirement here. The farm includes expansive gardens which not only provide rich vegetables and food for the animals, but opportunities for growth of the people who tend them.

Our vision becomes truly special when we share it with you. We look forward to seeing you at the farm! Plan a Visit.

Better Together

1
People

Working with animals and gardening at a care farm have been widely shown to be healthy exercise, lower blood pressure, ease depression and stress, and help lonely people establish therapeutic relationships.

2
Animals

We specialize in caring for domestic farm and house animals that we take in from animal shelters, humane societies and law-enforcement agencies who call on us to help save an animal’s life.

3
The Earth

What started out as rocky barren dirt has evolved into an amazing 35,000-square-foot permaculture-inspired garden. We now grow delicious vegetables that provide food for people and the animals.

Duckie, now Daisy, came to us after we received a phone call from the City of Medford that a duck had flown into their 2nd story building. Concerned employees rushed out to help the duck and Jennifer, a city employee, took Duckie home for the night until Colleen could meet up with her the next morning. As seen in the pictures, Duckie loved to swim in Jennifer's bathroom sink! After reading an ad that a neighbor was searching for a companion for her solo duck Margot, Colleen quickly reached out to her neighbor and the rest is history- Daisy and Margot are now bff’s!Update from adopter:"Daisy is adorable, she perches up on the awning and watches the world go by. Sometimes she gets after Margot duck because that silly duck still quacks all day long...ugh... She's really a wonderful girl and we're happy to have her ☺️Maggie and Preston" ... See MoreSee Less

So how about this factoid: A small group of ladybugs is known as a “loveliness” (!) Volunteer Week 2024 could be compared to the swarming of multiple “lovelinesses” of ladybugs making their way to the farm to benefit our garden ecosystems. Ladybugs are both significant pollinators, as well as feeders on other insects (like aphids and lace bugs) who can wreak havoc on a garden when their populations are out of balance. Ladybugs help bring beauty and balance to our gardes, just like our deeply appreciated volunteers. Here are just a few photos of some of such critters from Volunteer Week 2024! 🐞 ... See MoreSee Less
