Our Impact
We believe that everyone deserves the chance to experience the healing power of nature and the connection animals bring. Together, we’ve created a beautiful oasis! A safe haven for animals in need and a place of peace and purpose for those who care for them.
Rescue & Rehabilitation
Little Patch of Heaven Sanctuary is home to over 130+ rescue farmed and exotic animals!
When new rescues arrive our team sets out on a mission to create a plan for their success.
We discuss their nutritional, socio-emotional, physical and enrichment needs and invite our community in to fulfill their success plan!
Foster Services
Little Patch of Heaven Sanctuary is has fostered over 50 animals through other rescue organizations.
LPHS serves as an amazing starting point for horses, cats, and bunnies as they receive customized care plans and attention from our community.
We do our best for preparing the animals for their new homes and the adopters for their new family members.
Bunny & Guinea Pig
Adoption
We’re proud to partner with amazing local shelters who support us in finding loving homes for animals when our sanctuary reaches capacity. Thanks to our incredible community of animal-loving volunteers, students, and supporters, we’ve been able to place many bunnies and guinea pigs into carefully selected, forever homes.
​
Little Patch also serves as a permanent home for bunnies whose temperament, life experiences, or special needs make them best suited for our unique environment especially those who thrive in calm spaces or enjoy interacting with the public.
Youth Learning Clinics
Little Patch of Heaven Sanctuary has developed meaningful programs that inspire the youth of the South Coast to build deep, lasting connections with animals and nature.
​
Through both independent exploration and guided experiences, our students discover more about themselves and their own voices as they engage with the natural world and its creatures.
​
Each year, our programs support over 200 children in exploring themes of compassion, animal rescue, awareness, sustainability, and the importance of mindful animal care and connection.
A Safe Healing Space
Arianna is a pediatric stroke warrior who survived a stroke in utero and lives with cerebral palsy.
​
At Little Patch, she has found a place where she can grow, heal, and shine! Through completing meaningful tasks to help care for the animals, Arianna continues to build her strength and confidence in her own abilities.
​
She’s made a lasting impact on every animal she’s worked with, offering each rescue not only her care, but her wisdom, resilience, and love. In supporting their healing, she continues her own.
A Comfy Space for All Abilities
Little Patch of Heaven Sanctuary has found that adults and children with varying disabilities benefit greatly from spending time with the animals and having animal care jobs/tasks to look forward to weekly.
​
We have 1 disabled adult on summer staff that could use these services weekly year round.
​
In the Works:
1. A highly anticipated program to bring more animal care jobs and connection to disabled adults across South Coast. To make this possible we need to fund the employment cost of each disabled adult on staff and an additional staff member to assist with task completion and time management.
​
2. A highly transformative program to guide children with physical, mental and emotional disabilities through animal care and connection to inspire peace and further healing!
Animal care tasks inspire us to show up even on our hardest days. For children with varying physical, mental and emotional abilities these tasks also act as a way to naturally practice life skills that build stamina, resilience and motivation.
