Teaching people kindness and compassion
to animals, each other, and our planet.
--Our mission statement
The Gentle
Barn Foundation is home to 100 animals rescued from abuse.
The Gentle Barn is host to abused children,
kids recovering from substance abuse, kids on probation, foster kids, and children and adults with mental, emotional, and
physical challenges.
Through the interaction with animals, the kids learn forgiveness, courage, strength, leadership
skills, trust, empathy, and kindness. The healing that takes place when the kids get together with the animals is miraculous.

Special Needs Program The qualities that we believe animals

Barn have so much love to give back, and with these wonderful qualities we believe that they are perfect for people with special
needs. Learn more...
