Greener Pastures Farm Sanctuary Of San Luis Obispo

There’s passion in this non-profit, and so much care into the lives of these animals who came from different backgrounds. Greener pastures provides home and hospitality and being apart of the team that offers that hospitality brings me joy everyday. Everyone including myself brings in love and care for each animal, and I am proud to be apart of that.

Greener Pastures is a unique farm animal rescue/sanctuary. The rescued animals receive caring and compassionate treatment along with unconditional love so needed and desired by them. These innocent, once helpless animals, all have beginnings which include neglect, abuse and abandonment before arriving at Greener Pastures and, they are now living their best lives. Thank you Greener Pastures for saving these sweet animals!!!

Greener Pastures is a wonderfully caring, safe, clean and healthy environment (with plenty of room to roam) for all of the lucky and deserving animals that call this place home. I've been fortunate to be able to volunteer to help care for the animals for nearly two years, and have seen first hand how they've developed - in their physical health and well-being, and how they've embraced wonderfully individual personalities! The animals seem truly happy - and it's no wonder as Diane and Joe and their teams have created a genuine sanctuary for them through their passionate care. I wish all animals in need could land here to live out their beautiful lives!

A really awesome organization. Wonderful people and animals here I love helping them out

I have been involved with Greener Pastures for almost a year now and it is heaven on earth! The rescued animals have been given a second opportunity to live a beautiful life and they always seem to be having a blast. Diane and Joe are the perfect couple who make sure the operation runs smoothly. I cannot be more proud of knowing and being a part of this organization.

Greener Pastures animal sanctuary is the best. The animals are living their best life thanks to Joe Diane and all the wonderful volunteers..

I have been volunteering for the last year and a half with greener pastures and I honestly think I will never leave :)
I have volunteered for many places in the last 20 years and I have never found an organization that I was 100% happy with. Until I found Greener pastures…. This is an organization that is run with much love, devotion, as well as happiness. The owners of this organization are beyond amazing. All of the animals are well taken care of and loved as well as all the volunteers! It is such a blessing to find an organization and a group of people that you look forward to spending time with.
If you were looking for an organization, who’s priority is always the safety, care and wellbeing of animals, but also embrace and value their volunteers…(which we all love). This is the organization you would like to be part of!
I am so grateful that I get to be part of such an amazing sanctuary.

My daughter and I had a fantastic first visit at Greener Pastures Farm Sanctuary at a Tour Day where we learned about the animals, the farm and the all the people involved in their care. I enjoyed almost 2 years of weekly volunteer time at the farm with lots of amazing two and four legged friends! Greener Pastures is a gift to the animals and those that care for them.

Dedication by Diane and Joe to animals who were abused, neglected, discarded by uncaring humans. They work tirelessly to heal, protect and provide health and happiness to these animals 24/7.

Farm animal sanctuary for those who have been neglected and mistreated. You can truly tell the people here care deeply about the animals and believe in a world without animal suffering.

Friendly, caring, transparent , always striving to do more good! I recommend volunteering, stopping by an open house, donating/participating in the fundraisers -- meet the animals (donkeys, chickens, horses, goats, pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese and more!) and wonderful people at Greener Pastures Farm Sanctuary. A neighborhood gem full of heart!

Greener Pastures is an amazing place! Diane and Joe have done a great job rescuing, rehabilitating the animals and making them feel safe in a very peaceful environment. The animals are clean, well fed and treated to lots of love by everyone involved.

Greener Pastures is a beautiful, clean home to donkeys, horses, goats, pigs,chickens, geese, ducks and turkeys. There are even a few dogs in the office. Diane and Joe have a long list of animals they have rescued, and this must be a labor of love, because the daily responsibilities and care is immense. I enjoy helping out maintaining the clean environment these animals need and deserve, and I feel others would achieve the same satisfaction knowing they helped, too.

All of the animals living at Greener Pastures Farm Sanctuary are so lucky to have found a forever home filled with love, kindness and the best care possible, courtesy of Diane and Joe and their wonderful volunteers. I have been volunteering there, once per week, for several months and am proud to be associated with such a well run and honorable place. Each time I interact with the animals at Greener Pastures I am overjoyed to experience their ease and calmness and sweetness, which given most of their previous experiences prior to being rescued, is amazing. I can only attribute this to the combination of their natural resilience and to the care and deep kindness of Diane and Joe.
Greener Pastures deserves anyone's full support and trust.

The Farm Animals of all varieties are getting the care that they need at this nonprofit.
The Staff and Volunteers are amazing people with a common goal. I know 100% of the donations I have made for the past five years are used for the purpose I intended. I will continue to support the Farm Animal Rescue efforts of Greener Pastures Farm Sanctuary!

What better endorsement than to have animals, upon first seeing you, come up to you and greet you warmly with their eyes and ask for a petting? In spite of their traumatic history they have learned to trust humans and to even show affection. This is due to the wonderful work which Greener Pastures does, in giving these animals hope and joy. You see a miracle every day here.

Throughout the years, I have donated my time to many causes. I have helped many nonprofits along the central coast. When I came upon Greener Pastures I knew that I had finally found an incredible organization. Both Joe and Diane, are incredibly compassionate and kind people..
My first day i fell in love with all the animals. But more so with the incredible selfless , loving people who run it.
Any one who has donated their time knows for personal reasons places are not always a good fit. When you first walk onto this sanctuary you feel the love.. the dedication and the respect for animals and humans! :) I walked in a year ago… and I'm never leaving! :)

The animals thrive and friendships you make are the balance and peace you look for in a crazy world. You just walk away with a grin on your face and laughter in your heart when you spend the day with these amazing animals… and these dedicated loving people!

A caring nonprofit that provides the very best life for animals who have come from abuse or neglect. Greener Pastures provides a lifetime of kindness that these innocent animals so deserve. I highly recommend this nonprofit!
