A Safe, Compassionate Home for Animals in Need
When people reach out to a sanctuary, they’re often worried about what will happen next—whether an animal will truly be safe, cared for, and respected. At Don’t Forget Us, Pet Us, rescue is only the beginning of the journey. Animals who come to our Dartmouth sanctuary receive individualized care, medical attention, and long-term safety, with every decision guided by what’s best for them. Our work also extends beyond the farm, connecting people of all ages to humane education and hands-on community involvement across Massachusetts.

The Core Programs Behind Our Work
Rescue & Sanctuary Care
When farm or domestic animals face neglect, abuse, or unsafe living conditions, we step in to provide immediate safety and long-term stability. Animals in our care—horses, cows, goats, pigs, and more—receive proper nutrition, veterinary care, rehabilitation, and a peaceful environment where they can heal and thrive. For most, our sanctuary becomes their permanent home, offering dignity and comfort for life.
