The sanctuary is home to the animals, it's their refuge, and safe place. We ask that all visitors treat them with respect and courtesy.   To ensure our animals do not get stressed or anxious our tour groups are small and offer time with the animals in a calm and safe environment. Spending time among them often creates special and moving experiences.

 

For the safety of our animals and yours, companion animals are not allowed at bvfas Please do not leave companion animals inside your vehicle as temperatures can reach dangerous levels quickly out here, even with the windows open.

 

*Please wear appropriate clothing for being outdoors (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) and closed toes shoes.

​

please understand that we are a farm sanctuary with special needs animals. Any time taken away from our regular duties and the animals must be beneficial to the sanctuary.

 

Due to time ​limitations and demand, we unfortunately are unable to give everyone a tour. Our tour minimum is 10 people with a $15 donation for each person. Groups smaller than ten would need to make a minimum donation of $150 to meet the same requirements of a larger group.​ ​

We understand the inconvenience. However, ​we ​are​ very busy caring for our residents, and any time we take away from our regular duties ​and the animals ​needs to be beneficial to the sanctuary.

The good news is that we generally have public days at least once a month for fundraising events and all are welcome to attend and meet the residents! Check our events calendar for upcoming public events, located on both our Facebook page and the EVENTS tab above.
