Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary is a wonderful forever home to hundreds of abused and abandoned farm animals. The staff is selflessly dedicated and loving. A truly magical place.
We went for the Maryland Farm Tour. They're not normally open to the public, but they have an open house once or twice a year. It was an awesome experience getting to mingle amongst the animals. We pet napping pigs in the barn, visited goats and a giant cow in the field, met the sheep and alpacas in their shed, and even met a very friendly (but wild) groundhog named Priscilla. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Visiting the Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary was an incredible experience. I cannot recommend it highly enough! The animals living at the sanctuary are farm animals because, as the owner explained on our tour, farm animals are exempt from animal cruelty laws. Some of the animals are much bigger than ones you would ordinarily see at a farm because these animals usually are killed before they can reach their full size. It is a truly amazing and rare sight to see animals like Mikey the 7 year old, 2500 pound steer. During our 2 hour tour, we were able to get up close and pet the beautiful animals while the owner told us each animal's name and their story of how they came to live at the sanctuary. Some of the stories of how the animals were found being abused were truly heartbreaking, but it made it all the more amazing to see how happy the animals were at Poplar Spring and how comfortable and trusting they were around humans. We could tell that the animals were well loved and taken care of. We will definitely visit the sanctuary again and support the good work that the volunteers and staff do.nNote: Be sure to visit the website to schedule a tour or to get information on the next open house.
This sanctuary is heaven on Earth for these animals that have suffered so much. The animals are now very trusting of people. The animals want to be around you. I wish my chickens were as friendly as the ones here. I highly recommend visiting this place and experiencing the work they are doing.
It was a great experience to see all the rescue animals that I have been reading about in the newsletter. This was a very well organized and orchestrated event and I enjoyed the variety of silent auction items up for bid!
