Inspired by the warmth and simplicity of The Shire, we are building a self-sustaining refuge where people and animals can thrive together.

Meet the Collective!
Merry
Nigerian Dwarf Goat
Adopted into the family with his brother, Pippin, Merry has the spirit of the LOTR character and then some. He loves scratches and snacks.
Artemis
aka Trouble
Within 9 months, Artemis had transitioned through 5 homes. Fortunately, her humans are willing to out-stubborn her so she can have a long and mostly stress-free life on a farm. She is now almost 8 years old.
Apollo
"The Sweet One"
Rescued from the Pine Ridge Reservation, Apollo is a sweet, go-lucky dog that LOVES to play fetch. If he’s not begging for cuddles, he’s asking to chase a ball.
Prince
Sir Peg Leg
This lovable tiger was rescued along with his siblings in June 2024. Sadly, he lost his leg in March 2025 while off on an adventure.
Tigger
Mr. Ride-Along
Once the runt, now a big, cuddly kitty, Tigger has as much bounce to his personality as the Winnie the Pooh character.
Sparky
Sparky Pants
Named after his adoration of electrical cords, Sparky is as much shock as he is delight. He’s quick to hitch a ride and loves to cuddle.
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves… defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
