Today we’d like to introduce you to Jen Sale. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Jen Sale always dreamed of founding a horse sanctuary, but after taking in two critically sick newborn goats that were left for dead at a local auction, she knew her calling was much more than just neglected horses. Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary was started as a horse rescue, and quickly turned into a full farm animal sanctuary after Jen learned about the horrors of dairy and our food system. Jen’s background in medicine as a LVN, along with ACLS and Telemetry certificates gave her experience working in acute care settings, and has been of great benefit to the ranch. She has the skill to reassure incoming rescues who may be traumatized, and provide preventive care to a range of animals which often reduces or eliminates large veterinary bills.
Jen’s dedication to the animals of SRAS is enormous- she is 100% hands-on and works along side the volunteers 365 days a year to ensure each resident receives the best care possible. In her rare free time, Jen enjoys live music, hanging with friends and family, and relaxing by a fire with a glass of good wine.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Animal rescue is hard- emotionally, financially, and physically. Jen works 24/7 to ensure the animals are taken care of.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
At Sale Ranch, we believe animals are living, breathing, beautiful beings who are someone, not “something”. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and educate on their behalf while promoting a cruelty-free lifestyle and reducing our impact on the earth.
We believe bringing awareness to the plight of factory farmed animals will help create a more compassionate and kinder world for all beings.
We are a 100% off grid non-profit sanctuary located in Temecula, California that offers rescue and refuge to animals discarded by our food industry, specifically dairy, and hospice to senior horses and those with medical needs. Once healed and healthy we connect our animals and share their stories with children in our community who have experienced trauma.
