Residents

Meet the current residents of Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary

We now are caring for 80+ rabbits, primarily rescued through House Rabbit Society, as well as through shelters and rescue organizations throughout the Bay Area. Most live as one big warren in the brand new Rabbit House, which is heated and cooled and filled with lots of toys and structures to occupy them.

Vist our gallery for more pictures.

Bullwinkle

Bullwinkle the donkey lives in the front pasture and barn and has a new friend to keep him company, Herbie! Both Bullwinkle and Herbie came from a rescue in the Sacramento area called Sky's The Limit Horse Rescue. Bullwinkle is 20 years old and a bit on the shy side. Although he enjoys being brushed and talked to, he can really move when he sees you coming with the bottle of fly spray!

Herbie

Herbie is a 25 year old female pony who came to us a bit on the thin side, but is enjoying grazing in her green pasture and hanging out with Bullwinkle. She is a vocal gal and let's us know when she wants her feed, a treat or to be pet.

Rippy

Euripides a.k.a. Rippy was advertised on Craigslist as "Free Male Sheep". He had lived in a backyard in Martinez, CA. Read More

Mohawk & Rainbow

Mohawk is a beautiful and intelligent potbellied pig that came to us from the Northern California Potbellied Pig Rescue. Rainbow (aka Princess Petunia) came from a very unfortunate situation out of the Sunol area of Northern California. [Read More about Mohawk & Rainbow]

Peepers

"Peepers" are “broiler” chickens who were rescued from a factory farm abandoned by owners in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi. These chickens were once destined for meat..

The Gilroy Girls

"The Gilroy Girls" are a group of White Leghorn Chickens that came to the sanctuary from an egg laying plant in Gilroy, CA. The plant was being shut down and the owners were sending 160,000 chickens to slaughter. [Read More...]

Jethro, Georgie, Rocco and Gertie

Jethro the rooster, Georgie, a call duck, and Rocco and Gertie, both Pekin ducks (and Georgie’s girlfriends), who live in their own little area with their own little swimming pool. We also have four new Muscovy ducks who have yet to be named.

Rico

Rico the cat as well as Seymour the rabbit came form the Stockton animal shelter. Rico roams the property during the day and keeps an eye on the vermin population (occasionally he brings us a live mouse or gopher, which we of course rehabilitate and release again!). Seymour is a handsome and affectionate rabbit who loves to hang out in the cat tree (pictured here with an ice bottle on a hot day). Stockton animal shelter is also a place in need of volunteers! Animals do not have cage cards telling potential adopters about their story and personality. Rico was adopted out as a female cat but was indeed an unneutered male.

Barney, Amy and Ilsa

Barney, the overseer of the property, Amy and Ilsa, and two little dachsunds.

Ilsa came form the Stockton shelter as a skinny and very stinky doxie with extremely bad teeth. When we picked her up from the vet after her teeth cleaning appointment, we were stunned the doctor had pulled twenty of her teeth out, leaving her with just the two lower canine teeth in the front. Ouch.
