Show up for the animals.

Running a farm sanctuary is physical, unglamorous, deeply rewarding work. It means showing up on a 110° Yuma afternoon because the animals need feeding and the fence needs fixing.

Where we need you

Every kind of help counts

No paid staff means every hour you give goes straight to the animals. Pick what fits you — we’ll find you a use.

Daily care

Feeding, watering, and cleaning enclosures — the most essential work, the kind that keeps the animals healthy and the sanctuary running every single day.

Events & transport

Adoption events, vet transport runs, fundraiser logistics. Even a few hours at an event makes a real difference for our small all-volunteer team.

Property maintenance

Fixing fences, building enclosures, general farm upkeep. If you’re handy, we always have a project. If you’re not, we’ll find you something.

Socialization

Sitting with animals, walking dogs, helping cats relearn trust. Some of our residents have been through a lot — your calm presence matters more than you’d think.

What we’re looking for

We’re not looking for perfection.

Just people who are reliable, kind, and genuinely care about animals. If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.

  • You’re 18 or older (or 16 with a parent or guardian).
  • You have a genuine love for animals and patience to match.
  • You can commit to a regular schedule — even a few hours a month counts.
  • You’re willing to follow our safety protocols and work as part of a team.
