Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary is a vegan 400-acre non-profit refuge for farm animals and wildlife located in Poolesville, Maryland. Founded in 1996, our mission is to offer care, rehabilitation, and permanent sanctuary for neglected, abused or abandoned farm animals, as well as providing a protected habitat for wildlife. We promote compassion and the humane treatment of all animals by educating the public on farm animal and wildlife issues. The restored colonial-era farmhouse situated on the property houses the operations of the sanctuary. Overlooking the Potomac River, and surrounded by ponds, streams, and open fields of preserved natural habitat, the sanctuary provides an idyllic setting for wildlife and farm animals. Through generous public donations, and the dedication of over 100 volunteers and 7 paid staff members, we’ve been able to not only maintain the farm and it’s acreage, but also build new barns and fences to house our growing animal family. From Petunia the pig, our first rescue, to the over 200 animals currently living at the sanctuary – your donations and support ensure their continued happiness and comfort. In addition to our scheduled special events, the sanctuary is open for tours and visits by appointment. Please call 301.428.8128 or email us to schedule a visit. Please try to be on time for your scheduled tour, and allow extra time for finding the sanctuary if this is your first time visiting. If heavy rain is forecast, we may need to reschedule. Call to check on your tour status if there is any question about the weather.
