The Pasture
Rolling high-desert acres where our large animals graze, rest, and recover. Cows, goats, sheep, and pigs find lifelong sanctuary here — with room to roam, shelter from the elements, and all the hay they can eat.
Pasture Residents
Smokey
Donkey · Jerusalem
Smokey is our dapper donkey who takes life at his own leisurely pace and looks absolutely stellar in any hat you put on him. This handsome guy has zero patience for sharing attention and will make sure you know he deserves all the pets and scratches — especially when his best buddy Buckwheat is getting any love nearby. After arriving lonely and needing companionship, Smokey found his groove at the sanctuary and now spends his days perfecting his slow-motion tiptoeing technique and being the most tolerant, affection-soaking donkey you'll ever meet.
Viktor
Goat · Mixed
Viktor is a wheelchair-using goat who has adapted remarkably well to life at the sanctuary. He's resourceful and creative, famously repurposing a canvas shade panel as his own hammock after his yard became swampy post-hurricane. Viktor enjoys the daily routine of being helped up the hill each evening and joyfully descending each morning with his disabled friends. He's known for his deep appreciation of life and can often be found contemplating beautiful sunsets, showing a thoughtful, contemplative nature that endears him to everyone at the sanctuary.
