The Blind Spot Animal Sanctuary (BSAS) is a plant based, nonprofit, (501(c)(3)), farm animal sanctuary based in Rougemont, NC. BSAS is an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff that cares for over 100 farm animals that reside on a beautiful 41 acres farm. Through no fault of their own, countless farm animals are hurt, neglected, slaughtered, abandoned & many find themselves in overcrowded s
helters. Here at Blind Spot we fight for these animals every day through education and our life saving efforts. Many of the animals we rescue came to us from overcrowded shelters, were rescued from starvation, abuse, slaughter or severe neglect. Here at the Sanctuary, every animal is provided with lifesaving and routine veterinary care, personal attention, individual care, proper housing and diet. Most importantly, every animal gets a chance to lead a natural, healthy and meaningful life. Blind Spot not only actively saves lives but also has an adoption program and focuses on education. BSAS team places adoptable animals in carefully screened forever homes and hosts free educational tours throughout the year. The founders speak at NC State, host students and hold seminars. Blind Spot cares deeply about its community. And, in times of crisis, BSAS is there to help. During Hurricanes Florence and Michael, Blind Spot offered refuge for families that had large animals and nowhere to put them and were in danger from floods. During Covid-19, BSAS assisted close to 300 farm animals and ensured they had full bellies while their humans were trying to get back on their feet. BSAS is home to countless residents, including horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, alpacas, chickens, sheep, emus, and peacocks. BSAS is changing mindsets & is one of the most active rescue organizations in NC. Vision Statement
