About a Home for Hooves Farm Sanctuary
We are a volunteer 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 60 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 promote the welfare of animals for the benefit of the public by rescuing and providing care for stray, abandoned, abused, or surrendered animals; and operation of an animal adoption program. We aim to advance education for the public by providing workshops, seminars, classes, and presentations on animal practices, rescue, and care.
In early 2019 we began an adoption program to place healthy and well behaved animals in safe and loving homes. Our Sanctuary provides a forever home for the animals who are older, have special needs, have behavioural issues or require long term medical intervention.
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.
We 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.
