Rescue takes people. ❤️
We often hear from people who want to see more animals rescued, more lives changed, and more animals given the safe and loving futures they deserve.
We want that, too. But the truth is, rescue doesn’t happen without people willing to participate. And we are at an impass- there's no more rescuing that's going to happen without more public involvement.
Right now, Peace Ridge Sanctuary is looking for people who want to be part of that work.
We are hiring animal carers to help with feeding, medicating, monitoring animals, and maintaining their habitats. We are also looking for barn cleaners—people who can come in, roll up their sleeves, and help keep the barns and animal spaces clean and cared for. Even better if someone wants to do a mix of all of that- many of us do.
These are relatively straightforward, low-drama jobs. You come in, spend time with animals, work alongside our team, and go home knowing that your work directly helped us continue rescuing more animals. There is something pretty wonderful about that.
We know that businesses and organizations everywhere are struggling to find and keep good staff right now. We've been hesitant to talk too much about that because we genuinely want to remain positive about what a great place Peace Ridge can be to work. In general, working for a non-profit can be much more fulfilling compared to working for-profit (somebody else's profit).
But we also want to be honest: this is outdoor work. It is physical work. There is cleaning,, walking, weather, and manual labor. We understand that isn't for everyone. But for the people it is for, it can be incredibly meaningful. You'd be helping to save lives.
There is simply no way for us to continue rescuing animals if we don't have enough people to care for the animals already here and keep all of our operations running. This is weighing heavily on our hearts. 💔💔💔
We especially need people to consider working at our horse facility and our farmed animal facility. And as we prepare to move all of our rabbits into our new barn at Little River Farm in Belfast, we will be looking for at least one part-time person to help with general care there.
If you've ever thought, “I wish I could do something to help,” this is one very real way to do it.
And if a job isn't right for you, we need volunteers, too. There are many ways to participate in rescue, and every person who contributes makes it possible for us to do more.

Animals don't rescue themselves. It takes all of us. 🐴🐰🐄❤️
