My interaction with SanctuaryOne has been three fold. They have met my needs as a place for my business to donate a portion of our proceeds and time to, a sanctuary for a feral colony I needed to relocate and a place to donate and volunteer at on a personal level. The staff at SanctuaryOne is dedicated beyond expectations. As a donor I continue to be pleased at the financial discipline shown by the organization. The funds are all spent on the animals and improvements to the land that benefit visitors and animal residents. They rely heavily on a dedicated group of volunteers to keep cost down. The staff is also very accommodating to volunteers letting them participate in the activities that are most rewarding to them. SanctuaryOne is an organization that knows what their mission is and sticks to it. My experience with SanctuaryOne has been nothing but positive since my first tour and I'm proud to be a donor and a volunteer. They are definitely making a difference and by my association with them I feel like I'm making a difference. I look forward to my continued involvement.

Sanctuary One is driven to success by a group of dedicated people who truly care about the organization. For those involved it it truly a labor of love and mission focused. I strongly recommend you visit Sanctuary One, and if you have already taken a tour, please come back and again and again. The physical property transforms almost monthly and the ever-changing rescued animals that are blessed to live at the Sanctuary are always wonderful to meet. The staff and volunteers take their jobs very seriously and are excellent stewards of the resources provided to them.

Sanctuary One is a calming, fulfilling, and yet energizing place to spend time at. The staff is so warm and welcoming and not only give you jobs to do but will work along side with you most often teaching you something as well. I volunteer there as often as I can and never think of it as unpaid work but more the most rewarding time I can spend helping a wonderful organization. Its a great place for animals to live their lives out and or be rehabilitated and given a new chance on life. I LOVE it!

The staff at Sanctuary One are amazing. They take great care of the animals and the land. Each animal is given the attention it needs for its specific and special needs. It has come at a time when it is dearly needed. With the horrible economy, so many animals are in dire need of a sanctuary to heal from neglect and abuse. It's a blessing that it exists and that it is here in the Applegate Valley.

The beautiful property, the life-saving work, the wonderful people who serve the earth, the animals and the people who come to visit: Sanctuary One is one of my favorite places to be. Knowing the horrific past that some of the animals have had, and that they now have a safe, life-long home makes Sanctuary One one of the most serene and peaceful places I have encountered.

Sanctuary One at Double Oak Farm is the first care farm located in Southern Oregon. A care farm provides health, social or educational care services for one or a range of vulnerable groups of people and provides a supervised, program of farming-related activities to ease the stress of modern life. On 55 beautiful acres in the Upper Applegate Valley, Sanctuary One is not only a care farm but a home to various rescued domestic and companion animals who have run out of life options provided by animal shelters and law enforcement venues. Lifelong care is offered to each of these selected animals with food, veterinary care and gentle treatment foremost in their welfare plan. [1]
The purpose of care farming is to promote mental and physical health by giving people the opportunity to spend time working on the land including animal therapy, crop and vegetable production and woodland management. I started spending time at the Sanctuary a few years ago to improve my photography skills by taking photographs of the animals being housed there. I found that I learned much more than photography and benefited from the pleasant hours spent under the oaks observing the growth and change in this magical place. Each time I come home from visiting the Sanctuary, I bring with me a sense of peace, a lowered stress level and a full heart.
