Our Mission
to provide a loving, lifelong home for rescued farm animals, and to change public perception about animals typically regarded as food. Our Sanctuary promotes a compassionate and sustainable lifestyle for animals, our planet and our health.
Events at the sanctuary
From volunteer workdays, school field trips, potlucks, tours, to vineyard dinners, Hoedowns and fundraising events, the sanctuary is often humming with activity. Visitor Tours take place monthly from Spring through Fall (weather permitting) on the 2nd Saturday of each month. Check out our calendar below!
A forever home
At Rancho Compasión, we provide a home to previously neglected, exploited, and abused farm animals. Nestled in the bucolic town of Nicasio, California, and surrounded by beautiful redwood trees, bountiful wildlife, and a rich farming culture, we open our sanctuary to a growing number of rescued animals with the support of compassionate supporters.
Meet our farmily
We have a big “farm”-ily! We provide home for rescued goats, sheep, cows, pigs, chickens, donkeys, geese, turkeys, and ducks. Meet Reggie, Goober, Princess and much more. Our residents have come from situations of neglect, abandonment, or exploitation—and are here to live out the rest of their lives under our compassionate care.
Volunteer opportunities
It takes many hours, many hands, and many kind hearts to keep things running smoothly here, and projects always abound. We welcome occasional and regular volunteers. Check out our volunteer opportunities below!
