💫SAS VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH: DANA!💫

FIVE YEARS. Twice a week. Every week.
If there is one word for Dana, it’s consistent (and snarky, and funny, and kind- so more than one word, but you get it...).

For five years (THIS MONTH!!), Dana has been one of those volunteers we simply count on 100%—sometimes probably a little too much. She shows up, gets to work, and somehow manages to accomplish the work of about 25 volunteers in a single shift.

Sitting still? Not an option. If there’s something that needs doing, Dana has probably already noticed it... and is halfway done.

And because apparently that isn’t enough, she’s also an incredible artist. The murals and hand-painted signs around the Sanctuary? That’s Dana.

She has given us five years of her time, talent, creativity, hard work, and dependability—and we simply could NOT do what we do without her (and we wouldn't want to, it just wouldn't be as fun!).

Happy 5-year SAS anniversary, Dana. We are so lucky to have you. 💕

Annnnd that's a wrap on our 2026 Summer Camp Season! ♥️

Thank you to all the incredible families who filled our farm with laughter, our counselors who brought their "A Game" for our campers- and to all our supporters and donors who made our Send a Kid to Camp scholarship program such a huge success! We can't wait to see you next year!!

Just because summer camp is over doesn't mean we don't want to see you! We have our Little Boots Reading Hour, Goat Yoga- and stay tuned for info on our Halloween Spooktacular!

It's connection. It's community. We can't thank you enough for being a part of the journey. 🌱

We promise, SAS is the right place. ✨
Come visit us and our mini donkey herd! These little guys may be small in size, but they have BIG personalities—and they’ve definitely stolen our hearts.

💡 Fun fact: Miniature donkeys are incredibly social animals and often form strong bonds with their humans and other donkeys. They’re happiest when they have a buddy (or two!) by their side! ❤️

Who could resist those sweet faces? Not us- and they know it! 🤣✨

Apparently the BarnYard Crew has entered their Kinda Chic era.

68+ rescued animals.
14 very different interpretations of “chic.”

Some are giving chaos.
Some are giving backyard velociraptor.
Some are just giving… Oscar.

Either way, the confidence is unmatched.

Kinda chic. Definitely SAS.

Our mini goat herd has had a busy few days-Wednesday evening yoga (a full class!) to our first "Little Boots Reading Hour" and tour this morning- they are truly living their best lives.

Our herd is very social and curious- they love people (and treats obviously!). We give them all the space and different activities to be exactly who they are-and if they don't feel like participating, they are not forced to and can opt out and have some quality "me time". Or, if you're McQueen, you can just choose a mat and take a nap for the entire class. 🤣♥️

Pretty much, best herd ever. Thank you for loving them as much as we do!
