Veganville Animal Sanctuary

Veganville Animal Sanctuary Veganville is a nonprofit eco farm sanctuary for animals to live their lives in safety and care. Federal Tax I.D. Veganville’s future goals are vast. Spa? Lodge?

Nestled on eleven acres in Elsie (Seaside) Oregon, Veganville is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal sanctuary for abused and neglected farmed animals. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. (EIN): 81-2539800

Veganville open its’ gates for visitors to get hands on experience in compassionate animal care and organic permaculture farming practices, giving the opportunity to learn

about the modern day agribusiness and its effects on the animals, our health as humans and the impact on our environment. Veganville promotes a cruelty free and environmentally sustainable vegan lifestyle and incorporates this in our outreach and education program with cooking classes, community gardening and compassionate animal care. Veganville is a special farm which allows visitors to spend hours, days or even weeks on the farm. This creates an opportunity to make an impact at every level with the animals, sustainable living, permaculture practices and organic farming. Long term volunteers can look up more information on getting involved at Wwoofusa.org

At the heart of Veganville’s mission is rescuing animals and our interactive outreach and education program that is promoted on the property and also within the community; educating schools and the public on the effects of modern agriculture and how a vegan lifestyle can reverse the damage made to our environment, our health and save animals. With RV hookups on the property that are rented out to anyone wanting to park their RV or tiny house long term. We are looking into yurt rentals, a campground, vegan cafe and more. The opportunities are endless for Veganville. Veganville is not currently open to the public but volunteer opportunities can be arranged: [email protected]

Walking back from evening feeding looking like a pack mule. 😅

Cat food over one shoulder, buckets and a fan in my arms, and a sweatshirt in 90° weather so the no see ums don’t get me. 🩸

The animals are fed, the pools are full, and everyone survived the heat.

I’d call that a successful day. ✔️❤️

Pan was living his best life today, enjoying a hose down on this warm afternoon. 💦🐷

It’s hard to believe it’s been one year since this little guy arrived at Veganville. He’s grown quite a bit since then, though he’s still on the smaller side compared to the rest of the pig crew.

A good shower, a muddy spot to lounge, and plenty of snacks are pretty much Pan’s idea of a perfect day. A true water hippo. 💙

This month, he’ll be making the move into the big pig digs, where he’ll have even more room to explore, root, and wallow. We can’t wait to watch this sweet boy continue to grow and thrive.

Happy one year anniversary, Pan! 🐽

Slow mornings at Veganville just hit different. ☀️
The animals were extra peaceful today, soaking in the sunshine, cracked corn and quiet moments… and of course Annabelle had to make sure she got the final word in. 🦃💛

After days of rain, we finally had one dry window to get the sheep and alpacas sheared before warmer weather hits. Easy in theory. In reality? Sanctuary life had other plans.

There were sheep protesting enclosure moves, alpacas testing perimeter security, one sheep getting separated from the group and yelling about it dramatically, volunteers cleaning bedding, and Peter, one of our pigs getting his tusk stuck in a gate…terrifying moment. He’s okay.

At one point, it felt like I was running from chore to chaotic moment in the blink of an eye while trying to keep everyone calm… including myself. 😂

And then there was Rose. One of our alpacas, who escaped in the pouring rain the night before shearing and spent over an hour refusing to come back in. These shearing appointments are booked a year in advance, and I truly thought she might miss her chance and have to wait until August. I was soaked, stressed, emotional, and fully questioning my life choices. Then Cass, my wonderful bf arrived and somehow calmly walked right up to her and guided her straight back into the enclosure like some kind of alpaca whisperer. Hero of the weekend. 🦙

But somehow, despite the stress, every sheep, llama and alpaca got safely sheared thanks to our two incredible shearers, amazing volunteers, and a whole lot of teamwork.

People see the fluffy before and after photos, but there’s a lot that goes into sanctuary care behind the scenes. Shearing is essential for comfort, hygiene, mobility, and preventing overheating as temperatures rise.

This weekend was exhausting, stressful, emotional, and chaotic. Mostly though, I’m just relieved everyone is safe, cared for, and that we don’t have to do this again for another year. ❤️

One of our friendly feral cats, Fuzzy, had to make a vet trip today for a facial abscess. He was incredibly brave through the whole exam and even started purring for the vet staff.

But the safest place in the world, according to Fuzzy, was apparently wedged behind me between the wall and my back while I sat on the floor of the exam room.

When he arrived four years ago, this cat had no trust in humans at all. Today he let an entire veterinary team help him because he knew I was there with him. Watching animals learn safety after surviving so much will never stop amazing me.

He was sedated so they can properly clean and drain the abscess, but thankfully we caught it early and he should be feeling much better soon.

Good job today, Fuzzy. You were so much braver than you know. 🖤

I found a video I took 10 years ago right after moving here to start the sanctuary.

I’m crying in it. Overwhelmed. Heartbroken. Scared. Hopeful.

At the end I said, “Someday I’m going to look back at this video and be proud of myself.”

Turns out she was right. 🫶

Garfield is a big boy who doesn’t do much in the way of personal grooming, so he ended up with some pretty serious mats along his back.

When he arrived at the sanctuary a year ago, he was very scared of humans. We’ve been building trust slowly ever since.

I’ve been turning the clippers on near him for the past few weeks so he could get used to the sound. I didn’t want to shave him in the winter, so we waited until the timing made sense.

Today he showed up like a very brave client for a full service grooming appointment. Once the first mat came off, he switched into full cooperation mode and allowed the entire “spa treatment” without complaint.

By the end he was enthusiastically body slamming into my legs like I’d just delivered a five star Ritz Carlton level sanctuary experience 🧡

Rose clocked a “serious threat” tonight…
…it was a deer. 🦌

She immediately activated her signature squeaky toy alarm…tiny noise, very big feelings.

Sound on for the full security briefing:
“I have concerns. Many squeaky concerns.”

Earth Day always hits a little differently out here.

The past few years, we’ve been able to step away from the sanctuary for just short moments and explore some of the breathtaking places that surround us. Ancient forests, rugged coastlines, endless skies. The kind of beauty that doesn’t ask for anything except your attention.

And if we’re being honest, we don’t give it enough.

Between the daily grind, the noise, the notifications…it’s easy to forget what we’re actually standing on. This living, breathing, wildly complex planet that somehow sustains all of us.

Watching the recent Artemis II journey unfold, and even something like Project Hail Mary make its way to the screen, has a way of shifting perspective. It reminds you that, at the end of the day, we’re all crew members on the same fragile ship.

There’s no backup planet. No nearby alternative. Nothing else remotely like this in our galaxy.

Which makes this…every river, every tree, every animal, every quiet moment nothing short of extraordinary.

So here’s our gentle nudge this Earth Day:
Put the phone down.
Step outside.
Take the long way home.
Set up a camp. Build a fire. Look up at the stars.

And remember what we’re all working so hard to protect.

Because caring for the Earth isn’t a trend or a talking point, it’s a responsibility. One we share with every living being on this remarkable, fragile, beautiful planet.

Happy Earth Day 🌎
