🌿 Hearts & Hooves Haven 🌿
We provide a safe haven and lifelong sanctuary for a variety of farm animals—and so much more.
Our mission is not only to care for these animals, but also to guide and educate animal lovers on how to give them full, happy lives in loving homes. Through education and resource sharing, we help families become true “Farm-ilies.”
As our sanctuary fosters a compassionate, educational, and heart-healing environment that is truly amazing.

✨ A PLACE OF COMPASSION, CARE, AND HEART! ✨
Our sanctuary is more than a safe place for animals—it’s a place to connect, learn, and heal. Together, we are building a permanent refuge where animals live out their lives loved and secure, while inspiring others to experience the joy of
small farm-ily life.
Why Small Farm-ilys Matter
Many families living in county-zoned areas for hooved animals may not realize the incredible benefits these animals bring—not only as companions, but also as valuable members of a healthy homestead, or as we like to call, a “small farm-ily.”
Our little sanctuary stands as a living example of how the small farm-ily life can uplift both residents and animals.
We are committed to providing permanent, safe shelter and compassionate care for our animals to live out their lives—safe, loved, and cared for while sharing their stories, and the therapeutic benefits to spending time with these beautiful animals.
🌿 Our Story 🌿
About ten years ago, we moved to a beautiful area in the county. We loved it here, but we were unaware of one very real danger—snakes. Sadly, we learned this the hard way when we lost a beloved family dog to a rattlesnake bite. That heartbreaking moment pushed us to research safer ways to live alongside nature.
We discovered that hooved animals can actually help deter snakes. So, we brought home our first goat—only to quickly learn that goats are herd animals and the county requires at least two so they aren’t lonely (or noisy!). One goat turned into two, then three. Before long, a rescued miniature horse joined us, followed by a pony, a full-sized horse that was no longer rideable, and eventually, a couple of pigs.
As we grew, we continued learning. Feral barn cats found a home with us, providing both shelter for them and natural rodent control for the property.
Through trial and error, we’ve learned so much. And now, it is our passion to share this knowledge and the magic of building their own “farm-ily.”
💛 We are blessed with happy, healthy animals— that foster compassion, care, and connection. Our hearts are full! 💛

At Hearts & Hooves Haven, every animal receives the very best care — because they deserve nothing less.
Many of our rescues arrive with special medical needs, and we go above and beyond to ensure their comfort, health, and happiness.
Take Zena, our eldest and largest horse — she’s already undergone three surgeries since arriving at the sanctuary.
Her recovery and quality of life are only possible because of compassionate supporters like you.
Your donation truly makes a difference.
Every dollar helps us provide lifesaving medical care, daily essentials, and a safe haven where animals can thrive.
Thank you for being part of our mission. 💛

Our Sanctuary has outgrown their tack/feed shed! We are blessed with a new feed shed, but still need the funds to finish it, and repair the old shed still used for supplies.

Help Us Build the Barn They Deserve 🐴🏠
Our BIGGEST endeavor yet is underway — and we need your help to make it a reality!
We’re raising funds for a proper barn structure that will provide safe, weatherproof shelter for our beloved farm-ily. From our smallest goats to our biggest horses, every animal deserves comfort, security, and a space to heal.
🌾 Our dream: A large, well-equipped barn that can house all of our rescues — with room to grow as we welcome more animals in need.
This is more than just a building. It’s a sanctuary within the sanctuary — a place where care, warmth, and community come together.
Be a part of this legacy. Your donation helps lay the foundation — literally — for generations of rescued animals to come.
