What began as a vision shared by founders Greg and Carmen Pope has grown into a thriving sanctuary where many animals have found safety, care, and the opportunity to simply be themselves.

Hank is a lovable Kunekune Pig, with a sweet and playful spirit.

Despite witnessing the loss of every member of her previous flock night after night to predators, Phoenix remains one of the sweetest, friendliest, and most curious hens we’ve ever met.

Trinity has always been a tough and resilient lady. Her vocal, curious, and strong-willed personality has kept her at the top of the pecking order.

During the day, you can often spot Ruby enjoying life’s simple pleasures, scratching at the ground, pecking for treats, basking in the sun, and dust bathing. At night, she usually roosts close to her pal, Ember, in a fully secure, predator-protected coop.

Today, Mario lives in a busy flock with three hens. He’s taken on the role of guardian, watching for danger and even foraging treats to share with his flock. He enjoys sunbathing, dust bathing, and spending his days immersed in the simple joys of sanctuary life.

Leena is the most strong-willed of all the hens here at FOTF. She’s extremely expressive and always makes her presence known. During snack time, she’s usually the one clucking persistently until she gets her treat!

Emily enjoys foraging around her enclosure, searching for blueberries, figs, and other tasty treats, with Azteca never far behind. They dust bathe and sunbathe together, and at night, Azteca always gives her the top roost.

Azteca has taken it upon himself to look after her, keeping a watchful eye for any danger and even foraging and sharing the treats he finds. He loves sunbathing, dust bathing, and each night, he lets Emily take the top roost in their coop.

You will never meet a sheep sweeter than Sammie! She loves getting attention from her human friends and will sometimes try to “hug” you by climbing into your lap!

Now that Nellie is older, she has become quite a sassy little sheep! Sometimes she will charge at her herd mates and even our caregivers!
