Peaceful Fields Sanctuary

Peaceful Fields Sanctuary Vegan farmed animal sanctuary in the Shenandoah Valley of VA operating for over 13 years as tikkun olam.

PFS is incorporated as a nonprofit and a gold rated 501(c)3 charity. Our mission is to honor all of creation through providing a safe & forever home for farmed animals in need, so they can live free from abuse, exploitation, and neglect. A core aspect of this mission is to highlight the cruelty of animal agriculture through showcasing the personality and lives of our residents and engage in vegan

outreach to prevent further harm. As an incorporated 501c3 non-profit we are run by a small team of dedicated staff & volunteers and supported by generous donors & advocates like you. Nestled in among the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia, USA, PFS is home to many turkeys, chickens, ducks, cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, and equines rescued from abuse, neglect, and the cruelty of animal agriculture. Founded on the ideas of tikkun olam, PFS is a silver level charity as rated by Guidestar. Contact us by email at [email protected].

While we work to get the program underway and raise funds to cover the costs, we'd like to hold a non-therapy "meet and greet" event where those with neurodivergent disorders, PTSD and ADHD can come meet some of the rescued animals who will be involved in the program and spend an hour, at no cost, getting to know them. If interested in participating please send us a DM with your name, email address and any information regarding the disorder or trauma you're comfortable sharing.

People who experience trauma sometimes find strength in talking with others who have endured a similar experience.

The trials and challenges of sanctuary life y'all! 😂
Ellie napping in the sun during a break in the rain. In her previous life before rescue she suffered major trauma to her pelvis and did not receive proper medical care. Not a morning person, Ellie like many humans, is a little grumpy until she's had breakfast, THEN it's belly rub time!

Our new therapy program was featured in a news article recently! In addition to aiding rescued animal rehabilitation, this upcoming program will help several hundred children, adult and veteran community members over five months heal and grow from therapy targeting neurodivergent disorders, ADHD and PTSD. We need to raise $9,000 to cover the cost of the program so that the program service will be free if charge to all participants.

"People who experience trauma sometimes find strength in talking with others who have endured a similar experience.

But people aren't the only living things who have to deal with trauma. Some animals do as well.

John Netzel, president and founder of an animal rescue organization called Peaceful Fields Sanctuary that provides a loving home to livestock that have been abused and mistreated, is launching a new therapy program that will allow traumatized people to work with traumatized animals so that both sides can find healing."

Angel wing is a permanent bone deformity mostly caused by people feeding bread, crackers, rice and other high carbohydrate food to birds. For wildlife this is a death sentence as the bone deformity causes misshapen wings preventing flight. Many of our rescued domesticated waterfowl suffer from angel wing. If you must feed waterfowl (it's best to simply not feed wildlife), feed them thawed frozen peas. Peas float on water, provide nutrition and won't cause angel wing.
