It’s Sanctuary Stroll Sunday, and we’re not going to pretend it’s picture perfect. It’s been a week of nonstop rain, and where there isn’t standing water, there’s mud. Lots of it. And if you know goats, they want nothing to do with it.
So today, we’re keeping many of our residents cozy in their bed rooms, which means we’re giving YOU access to the barn. That’s right, Sanctuary Strolls like never before, you get to come right into their home!
And because it’s still a soggy mess out there, it’s another weekend of free will donation entry. Pay what you can.
Come hand-feed a resident a treat and watch their whole personality show up. Come hear their survival stories up close. Come grab a hoodie from our little store so you can rep IFS wherever you go next. Every donation, every treat sold, every item from the boutique goes right back into keeping this sanctuary running for the animals who depend on us.
Grab a friend. Grab ten. We are so eager to get you out here to meet our residents and shop a bit in the gift shop that we’re pulling out all the stops today.
Can’t visit in person, please check out our online boutique and do some shopping, we have merch for every taste and style. From hoodies to our very own coffee, we gotchu!
