About a Home for Hooves Farm Sanctuary
We are a family run non profit organisation registered with the BC Government that offers a forever home for rescued and abandoned farm animals in Duncan BC. Our sanctuary was founded in September 2017 and we are the second official farm sanctuary on Vancouver Island.
We currently have over 50 residents at A Home for Hooves including pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, dogs, guinea pigs and cats. We ensure all our animals are provided with the best care and a good quality home where they are able to live out their natural lives.
We strive to educate the public to improve the welfare of animals raised for food primarily in the factory farm industry as well as discouraging people from buying pot belly pigs for pets as we currently have an epidemic of pot belly pigs needing to be re-homed. In early 2019 we began an adoption program to place animals in safe and loving homes because we can help more animals in need this way. 2020 will see the start of our early education tour program with elementary school kids which will kick off in April.
We have over 25 volunteers that help us with the everyday care of the animals, social media, graphic design and event planning. We are incredibly fortunate to have so many dedicated and wonderful volunteers because they are the reason our Sanctuary runs smoothly and our animals are well cared for.
We are currently applying for our charity registration and recently received a grant from Seeds of Change to cover the lawyer fees for this process.
