West Place Animal Sanctuary

Business Overview

Since 2007, West Place Animal Sanctuary has provided a permanent home and lifesaving care to farm animals rescued from abuse, neglect, and cruelty. We are a licensed wildlife rehabilitation center that assists sick, injured, and orphaned animals and returns healthy wildlife back to their natural habitats. Additionally, West Place serves as the lost dog shelter for Tiverton and Little Compton.

Our small non-profit is able to accomplish great things thanks to a robust network of volunteers and student interns. Many of our volunteers provide daily animal care, while others work as crafters creating one-of-a-kind items for our on-site and online gift shops. Many items are handmade by volunteers using materials from the sanctuary, including sheep wool and alpaca fiber; feathers from peacocks and other birds; upcycled feed bags; and more. Other items are inspired by our amazing rescues including alpacas, horses, cows, pigs, donkeys, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, turkeys, geese, swans, and exotic birds.

All proceeds benefit the rescued farm animals and wildlife at West Place Animal Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by Wendy Taylor.
