Where animals and humans heal together.

Solstice Sanctuary

Our Mission

Solstice Sanctuary’s mission is to provide a haven where animals and humans find healing together. It is a safe place for animals who have experienced trauma or have found themselves without a home. By embracing the restorative power of the land, we create a Sanctuary that embraces empathy to nurture all beings.

A Safe Haven

The Sanctuary provides a safe haven for rescued animals, offering them the opportunity to heal, thrive, and live free from harm and exploitation.

The many ways the sanctuary saves animals:

  • Rescuing Loose Pen Horses at Auction

  • Working with Local Law Enforcement in Neglect Cases

  • Taking in Owner Surrender Animals

  • Pulling Horses from Slaughter Pipeline

  • Seeking Animals Most in Need
