Providing a safe haven + sanctuary

Calm and wise, Charlie is the perfect livestock guardian dog. We found her underneath the deck of an abandoned house in 2022 when she was only few weeks old. She now helps protects us, as well as, all the animals on the homestead.

If you have young children that want to visit us at the sanctuary, Blake will be the first one to greet you, rain or shine. We took her in before starting the sanctuary in the summer of 2020 from Mexico and she is our team mascot. She stayed by my stomach everyday of my pregnancy in 2020, and once Aidan James was born, she was glued to him ever since. She loves visitors, so feel free to reach out about visiting in person if you’re in Middle Tennessee.

Intelligent, alert and very mischievous, Honey is always up for an adventure. Whether we are jumping in the car to go to the shops or going for a run, Honey will follow us everywhere we go. We took Honey in when she was only a few weeks old with her sister Daisy, after their mother died in childbirth. She’s grown up to be our spunkiest girl. She has even been known to jump out of enclosures, and has been spotted on the barn roof from time to time. She keeps us on our toes and we adore her.

Daisy is one of the most sweet goats we’ve ever had in our care. Though more reserved than her sister, she’s capable of deep connection and is my go-to resident sweetheart. We took in Daisy, with her sister Honey, when she was only a few weeks old after he rmother died in child birth.

If you love a blue-eyed girl, you’ll love Bennett. We took Bennett in at only 4-weeks old, with her twin Billie (our resident hermaphrodite) and they had such a strong bond, we had to keep them both. Bennett was bottle fed when we got her, so if you want to hang out with a goat that thinks she’s your baby, Bennett is your girl.

Gypsy is all about relaxation and just loves hanging around the homestead and taking gentle evening walks. She’s approximately 12-years old and had been injured badly by a previous owner, so she now gets to take it easy and do whatever she wants. She is never ridden or has weight on her back due to her past leg injuries. A truly gentle soul that means the world to us, and we can use support ensuring her well-being as she requires additional monthly treatments and care.

Our fluffiest, little gremlin of a pony is Jasper. We took him in at only 6-months old and Gypsy is obsessed with him, despite his desire to bother her nonstop. He can definitely be a handful, but his spunk and energy is infectious and we simply don’t know how we got along before he was apart of our lives (or Gypsy’s).
