The Haven at Skanda supports love, hope, and possibilities for rescued farm animals and people, especially children. We take in rescued animals and support them to heal and emerge as who they really are. Because the animals are so beautifully able to leave painful experiences in the past and live in the moment in their full innocence and purity, they become loving role models, showing us what is possible. For this reason, Skanda offers a wide range of programs giving people of all ages and abilities the chance to experience the animals' love and brilliance for themselves, and discover new possibilities. Skanda is dedicated to supporting children who, like the animals, have experienced abuse, neglect, or profound loss, and has developed a trauma-informed, strengths-based anti-bullying curriculum that supports youth with a wide range of life experiences and needs. Skanda provides outreach and education programs throughout the year, and has a robust volunteer program for individuals, families, teams, and groups.
