Is there anything more lovable than an animal? Furry and friendly, animals are a great way to calm the nerves. In fact, many animals are used as therapy for people who suffer from a variety of illnesses. But you don’t need anything except a love of creatures big and small to appreciate a visit to the sanctuary we recently learned about. They work to care for farm animals who might not otherwise have a home and we love the work they’re doing.
Amazing Grace Animal Sanctuary in Sullivan got its start about ten years ago.

Back then, Donna Watterson and her husband Daryl were already caring for rabbits and a few goats. But about two weeks before their move to the Sullivan area, they learned that a pair of donkeys needed a safe, new home.

Donna loved the idea of adding a donkey to the family and expanding into an entire sanctuary was a dream. They began with 10 empty stalls that were quickly filled with cuties in need of a safe space.

Today Amazing Grace is home to horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, alpacas, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and a bunny.

The animals here are not only loved and cared for by the family, but they even get to make trips to other people.

They’ve visited schools, Girl Scout troops, and local fairs just to name a few of their destinations.

When they’re not meeting and greeting new friends, they are being cared for and receiving love and any medical care they need.

This sanctuary is a special place and each and every creature is so lucky that Donna and Daryl and their family took a chance on starting this refuge.

Proving just how great this state is, there’s another wonderful animal rescue we recommend. Tomten Farm is an incredible animal sanctuary hidden right here in New Hampshire.
