Spring Fundraiser

We Need Your Help to Prepare for Spring & Summer

Spring is one of the busiest and most expensive times of the year at Barn Sanctuary. The sanctuary pastures need to be seeded, and water troughs and shade sails put up. The animals need health checks, hoof trimmings, shearing, parasite checks and much more!

Your support makes it possible for the residents to be taken care of, respected and loved.

We need to prepare for spring and summer

$ 10 = 2 hay bales

$ 22 = fecal test, fly deterrent, sunscreen

$ 45 = pasture reseeding, hoof care

$ 125 = water therapy visit, new fencing

$ 350 = mobility devices, ongoing vet care, medications

Please help us keep our animal residents happy and healthy 

How Your Donation Helps

The Animals
