About Us

The Little Red Barn Micro Sanctuary was founded on the beliefs and values that farm animals are someone, not something. Located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada the Sanctuary is home to a variety of rescued farm animals who were otherwise destined for slaughter. Our primary focus is teaching compassion and empathy through knowledge and personal interaction.

Sanctuary for Scotty

Scotty is a handsome, 25-year-old Belgium draft gelding, who was rescued through our partnership with the Good Place. Elderly Scotty, like so many unwanted horses, was taken to auction with an uncertain fate. We wanted to give Scotty the life he deserves since it was obvious he had worked hard his whole life for people, based on his scars. Since arriving at the Little Red Barn, he is learning to enjoy human companionship being spoiled and fussed over with brushings and hugs, regular hoof trims, exceptional veterinarian and nutritional care.

Causes

The Little Red Barn sanctuary operates independently with donations and volunteer support. Our Mission is to teach children and families that farm animals are someone, not something. Through empathy and compassion, we bridge the disconnect between individuals and farm animals for a kinder world. In the past year alone, we have connected farm animals with over 1500 children and their families personally, as well as thousands of individuals through social media. In doing so, we are also promoting the welfare of farm animals.
