Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
United KingdomAnimals/Wildlife
Thornberry is a small independent sanctuary that has been taking care of abandoned and neglected animals in the South Yorkshire region since 1988. We pride ourselves on our NO-KILL policy, which means that the animals in our care stay with us for as long as it takes to find them their forever homes. We are dedicated to animal welfare and committed to being actively involved with local schools and community groups to encourage and inform, often through mutual visits, which can lead to firm friendship and support on lots of different levels from volunteering to fundraising to sponsorship and beyond. Thornberry offers support, compassion and understanding and will continue to do so, for while there are animals in need, Thornberrys' gates will always be open for them.

At our correctional facility farms, we provide a vocational training program for inmates as they provide supervised care to our retired horses. The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation is a place that offers a humane alternative to the dire possibilities that have long faced a great majority of ex-racers - neglect, abuse and slaughter. It is a place, built on love and caring, that is befitting such noble and deserving animals.

Timberline Ranch
CanadaCommunity/Family
Timberline Ranch was born out of a vision for the young people of Vancouver to be able to enjoy creation at a ranch-style camp and have an opportunity to be exposed to the Gospel. This vision was held primarily by two men, Cec Leng ("Chuck") and Don Lawrie ("Lefty"). The emphasis of the Ranch was in training young people in the basics of the Christian life. Chuck and Lefty, along with their families, lived on the site for the first years providing this training in association with the Navigators. The facilities can now accommodate over 200 people at a time, and over 6000 young people come to the Ranch every year, plus hundreds of adults. Many groups come annually, and most groups book a year ahead to secure their place.
