The Gentle Barn is both a sanctuary for animals and humans alike, and we offer many programs to help support the community for children and adults who suffer from abuse, addiction, depression, loneliness, and physical and emotional issues. Once our animals have been rehabilitated, have chosen to forgive, have learned to trust, and have been given sanctuary with us for the rest of their lives, we partner with them to help children and adults recover from the same stories of the trauma that the animals have endured. Every animal has so much to teach us and offers something unique to benefit people in need.
