What is this crowdfunding campaign for?We are raising funds to install fencing enabling us to expand our pasture for the rescued farm animals at Piece of Heaven Project Farm Animal Sanctuary. Our current pasture is at risk of becoming overgrazed, and expanding will provide more space for the animals to graze, roam, and live comfortably, and for the current pasture to recover.
-
Why does the sanctuary need a new pasture and fencing?Our existing pasture is not large enough to sustain the growing number of animals in our care. A new pasture will improve their quality of life by providing fresh grazing land and reducing overuse of the current area. Secure fencing is also crucial to ensure the animals safety from predators , hunters and vehicles on the road. Expanding our pasture will mean that we will need to buy much less hay , primarily only when the snow is on the ground. This investment will mean we will be far more financially sustainable to continue our work caring for farm animals in the future.
-
How much money are you trying to raise, and how will it be used?Our goal is to raise $20,000. These funds will be used to purchase fencing materials, cover labor costs for installation, and prepare the land for safe and sustainable use.
-
What happens if you don’t reach your funding goal?Every donation counts! If we don’t reach our full goal, we will prioritize securing as much fencing and pasture expansion as possible with the funds raised.
-
What happens if you raise more than your goal?Any additional funds will go toward further improvements to the sanctuary, including shelter enhancements, medical care for the animals, and other infrastructure needs.
-
What is the Piece of Heaven Animal Sanctuary?We are a non for profit society , incorporated in British Colimbia number S0070124. We are dedicated to providing lifelong care for farm animals in need, especially species who would otherwise meet tragic ends through abandonment, misery and death. Our vision is to bring about a transformation in how we treat ourselves, other beings and this planet we call home, through the promotion and adoption of a compassionate, considerate , sustainable lifestyle. Going forward we wish to offer a unique blend of rescue, retreat and education.
-
What kinds of animals do you care for?Our sanctuary is home to a variety of rescued farm animals, including horses, goats, sheep, cows, pigs, peacocks, alpacas, geese, chickens and a llama.
-
How many animals will benefit from this new pasture?At least 98 grazing animals will immediately benefit from the expansion, with room for additional rescues in the future.
-
How does this project improve the well-being of the animals?Expanding the pasture gives the animals more space to graze, play, and exhibit natural behaviors. It also helps reduce stress, improves their health, and prevents overgrazing of the land.
-
Will the pasture be used for new rescues, or just the animals you already have?While the expansion is primarily for our current residents, it will also allow us to take in more animals in need over time.

When do you plan to start and complete the fencing and pasture project?We intend to take advantage of the small window, weather wise, when conditions are suitable for fence building. This happens in early summer when the snow melts and the ground is no longer frozen but hasn’t yet been hardened by the summer sun!
-
Who will be doing the work, and how will the funds be managed?The work will be completed by a combination of professional contractors and volunteers. All funds will be carefully ring fenced, managed and transparently reported.
-
How long will the pasture last before needing additional work?With proper maintenance, the new pasture and fencing should provide safe and sustainable grazing for many years.
