Farm animal residents at Sterzin Stables Sanctuary
Lifelong sanctuary

Rooted in the Finger Lakes.

Safe pasture, steady care, and room to simply be an animal.

Our promise

Sanctuary is a promise.

Permanent placement

Residents have a safe home without pressure to perform, produce, or move on.

Needs-led care

Food, shelter, veterinary care, and enrichment follow each animal's individual needs.

Care in action

What steady support makes possible.

Lifelong care is built in the everyday: a clean stall, a full hay feeder, a familiar routine, and the attention each resident deserves.

01 / Daily foundations

Shelter, pasture, nourishment, and safety.

Contributions help sustain species-appropriate feed, clean water, secure fencing, maintained shelter, and room for residents to rest and roam.

Consistency, not one-time intervention.
02 / Health

Ongoing veterinary care

Routine wellness, hoof and dental care, medicine, and responsive treatment help residents stay comfortable through every life stage.

03 / Well-being

Connection and humane stewardship

Thoughtful routines and enrichment support emotional well-being, while sanctuary updates share practical, humane care with our community.
