Our Mission.
Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and, when appropriate, rehoming of abused and neglected farmed animals. As the largest farm animal rescue in Oregon, we are home to over 250 animals including pigs, cows, horses, chickens, sheep, and goats. Through facilitating meaningful relationships between people and the animals we care for, we aim to help shine a light on the realities of animal agriculture and lead the way to a more compassionate world.
