The original goal of founding the sanctuary was to help goats in need of rescue, and then that quickly turned into a larger vision once we really discovered how many homeless, abused, and neglected farmed animals there are. With Beca’s years of experience with dozens of species of animals, we were able to intake other species of farmed animals and provide them with the care necessary and needed. Although our initial mission was just to rescue farmed animals, our mission has transitioned into not only a farmed animal rescue and sanctuary, but also an educational resource for the public on the animal agriculture industry, veganism, animal individuality, compassion to all, and kindness.
In December of 2018, we relocated to a 33 acre farm in Union Grove, WI. A foundation secured this property for us, after we were able to make sure it would it fit our then current needs, as well as our future needs. This property has a 30 stall barn and a 12 acre hay field. We now grow and harvest our own hay each year, saving us thousands of dollars. Every animal resident here has safe housing, indoor and outdoor, as well as appropriately sized pastures and aviaries. We are always upgrading the facility - new fencing, new structures, etc.
We offer multiple options for educational tours on the weekends during the warmer Wisconsin months. These journeys take you through how we started and what we do, and includes meet and greets with our residents, while learning their individual history, and also providing farmed animal and animal agriculture education.
In 2019 we changed our name from Tiny Hooves Rescue to Tiny Hooves Sanctuary to better promote who we are and what we do exclusively, which is to provide forever sanctuary to those we take in.
