Get to know them.

The Open Barn is a Ramona sanctuary that provides farm animals with a permanent home. Its website introduces the residents and offers ways to help, giving visitors a starting point for learning about the animals before deciding how to get involved.

Volunteering begins with an interest form that asks about your availability, relevant skills and any accommodations you need. The sanctuary currently emphasizes people able to make a regular commitment, so this is worth considering if you want an ongoing connection rather than a single afternoon. If your availability is occasional, browse the event listings or ask about a suitable way to support the sanctuary before arranging a visit.
