Mission — Goal — Vision

Our mission is to nurture, honour and protect the human/animal bond.

Our goal is for people to improve the lives of animals and for animals to improve the lives of people.

Our vision is to create a humane and compassionate environment where people, animals and nature come together to improve the emotional and physical well-being of all members of our community.– The Happy Herd

What is an animal sanctuary?

According to Wikipedia an animal sanctuary is a place for animals to go where they will be safe and protected for the rest of their lives. A promise for a forever home for animals that have been abused, neglected or abandoned. At Kindred, we’ve taken this a step further to create a safe haven for people to come and heal as well, together with our resident furry and feathered friends.

Why do we do this?

At Kindred Farm, we believe in the transformative powers of the human-animal bond. A bond so powerful it has the potential to heal physical and emotional pain. We know that when humans and animals have the opportunity to be together in a safe place, sharing love and kindness, the healing powers of that special bond occur.

Many studies have been done on the impact of this bond, but that’s not the only reason we believe it. We believe it because we see it for ourselves every day. We watch as children, adults, and animals overcome their trauma, rebuild trust, make friendships, connect with nature and learn how to love themselves, and others, again.

And through this healing, we see the happiness that results. Happiness that spreads well beyond our farm—and out to the world. That’s our impact.
