Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary

The mission of Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary is to provide a refuge for animals to live out their lives enjoying kindness, compassion, and permanent sanctuary, and to provide opportunities for education to the general public. The sanctuary: Advocates love and compassion for creatures and the responsibilities human beings have to demonstrate that love through protection and advocacy for our voiceless companions. Provides education promoting the humane care of animals, encourages ecological and moral responsibility and the part each individual can play in making compassionate dietary and lifestyle decisions. Establishes a place for children and adults including at-risk youth, veterans, foster children and teens, the elderly, and those with special needs to learn about and connect with animals in a loving and respectful way. Meets the needs of rescued animals and provides them with appropriate shelter, nutrition, medical care, companionship, and unconditional love.

The organization's primary purpose is to provide rescue services, medical care, and permanent sanctuary to animals rescued from abuse, neglect, abandonment, and the slaughter pipeline and to offer public education and advocacy on their behalf. We offer a home to animals not accepted at traditional animal shelters and make sure their needs are met for the remainder of their natural lives including nutritious food, safe shelters, warm bedding, enrichment, socialization, and a peaceful habitat. We educate humans about the impacts of a plant-based diet to help not only the animals, but to reduce climate change, increase food security among vulnerable populations, increase biodiversity, and improve human health. We offer leadership programs for teenagers, volunteer programs for individuals with disabilities, and of course, the chance for humans and non humans to connect in a healing environment.
