My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Viking is a likable, special needs senior wishing for his dream retirement pasture to come along. He is estimated to be in his early thirties, yet despite his age, this little guy is full of life! He came to us from an animal control neglect case after being found to be extremely emaciated. Since 2014 he has made vast improvements to his weight and increased his desire for attention.

Viking is smaller than most horses but still stands his ground and loves to do his thing here at our sanctuary. His favorite activities are relaxing and checking the barn doors regularly in case they aren't latched properly. He would make a great companion horse to have around the barn.

Viking has Cushing's Disease, which requires that he be on a special diet and supplements, but otherwise is relatively low maintenance.

Additional adoption info

Most, but not all, of the Sanctuary's animals are available for adoption because the more animals we adopt out, the more endangered animals we can take in.

Every animal adopted from Sanctuary One comes with a lifetime promise. If something happens and you can no longer care for the animal you adopt, he or she is always welcome back at the Sanctuary.

Each animal available for adoption has been evaluated by a veterinarian and is current on vaccinations. They’ve also undergone a basic behavioral assessment and have had their diets evaluated and specialized as needed.

In addition, our staff provides free telephone/email counseling for all adopters. If you have any questions or concerns about your adopted animal, contact us and we'll do our very best to help you.

More about this rescue

Sanctuary One at Double Oak Farm is a nonprofit care farm where people, animals, and the earth work together for mutual healing.

Care farming (also known as green care, farm care, or farming for health), is well established in Europe, but is a relatively new concept in the United States.

Sanctuary One demonstrates how farming for health can be a cheap, natural, and effective means of healing people; how animals can be treated humanely and honored for their intrinsic physical and spiritual value; and how the environment that sustains us all can be steadily improved through organic and permaculture-inspired farming practices.
