If you are compassionate and passionate about helping animals and/or people through direct action or by encouraging a compassionate and healthy lifestyle; if you are serious and willing to take a financial stake as well as helping realize the goals of a sanctuary where people can interact with and learn about animals and why it is important to treat them with respect, we'd like to meet you!
Our goal is to model Rooterville after Farm Sanctuary, making it a great place to visit, volunteer and/or vacation. Teaching people about the benefits of a plant based diet through outreach and educational events will be a large part of what we will do as well. It is important that our board members understand and agree with promoting a PLANT BASED lifestyle, this is the core of our mission.
Expanding our programs to help children, veterans and people suffering from chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease are critical to help our communities.
Or maybe you have other great ideas that you'd like to see happen, we welcome your leadership and participation to help make this world a better place and our communities healthier and more compassionate!
If you're ready to make a difference, please contact us!

About Rooterville, A Sanctuary Inc
Location:
5579 Darwood St, Melrose, FL 32666, US
Mission Statement
Rooterville is home to over 300 rescued farm animals, mainly pigs who have come from situations of abuse/neglect and abandonment. At Rooterville, we encourage people to adopt a compassionate lifestyle by choosing a healthy, plant based diet. Eliminating animal products from your diet is the most important thing that you can do to stop supporting the most egregious animal abuse, factory farming. Over 11 BILLION animals will be slaughtered in the USA and BILLIONS more will die before making it to the slaughterhouse. By going veggie, you will save approx. 100 animals every year, yourself! A vegetarian diet is not only the best diet for your own health, and that of the animals, it is the most environmentally responsible diet as well. Factory farming is the greatest source of pollution and produces more greenhouse gasses than ALL transportation emission combined. Please join us in helping make this world a better place!
Description
We currently care for nearly 300 rescued animals at our sanctuary, the majority being cute and intelligent pigs. We help other animals as well, but we are the only organization in N. FL helping the pot bellied pigs, there are countless organizations helping dogs and cats. We have been involved in several very large rescues of over 50 pigs and if you like rescue, we have opportunities throughout the year to be on the front line of rescue operations.
We have beautiful gardens, bee hives and fruit orchards so if you love plants, gardening, mowing, weeding, pruning or anything else involving plants, we would love your help to keep our sanctuary beautiful for our pollenators and wildlife too! We always need help with beekeeping, if you enjoy that, we can use your talents!
Our educational programs always need good teachers: humane education, bug identification, bee keeping basics for kids, etc. If you'd like to lead a class for kids or the community, let us know! We have a beautiful barn area for educational use.
We always need great leaders too as board members or committee members so if leadership is your thing, we'd love to hear from you!
We also spay/neuter and build pens/shelters for animals that can stay in their homes with our intervention. We have fundraisers throughout the year to help feed and care for the animals. We welcome your support!
