Get involved by filling one of the many roles open at our Oregon sanctuary for horses!
At the Duchess Sanctuary, our volunteers serve a vital role in caring for the almost 200 horses who call it home. With 1120 acres of pastures, woodlands, and facilities, there is no shortage of ways that volunteers can help with the operation of the sanctuary. Involving the community in our work is important to us-join us!
Volunteers at Duchess have the opportunity to make new and like-minded friends, learn about a wide variety of equines in rehabilitation or general population at the sanctuary, as well as equine care and sanctuary management in general.

We fight all forms of animal cruelty to achieve the vision behind our name: A humane society. And we can’t do it without you.
