Animal Caregiver - Morning Shift

Save to Favorites

Tilted Tavern Animal Sanctuary is a farm animal rescue located in Jonesborough, TN. For most of its nearly 200-year history, our land was used for traditional farming for both crops and livestock. Now, the land has been transformed to serve a new purpose as a safe-haven where rescued animals will live out their days peacefully. A place where bad luck, cruelty, or neglect can be repaid with the kindness of a full, healthy, and secure life.

Our goal is to educate and promote the importance of respecting every individual life through humane animal practices. Since starting in the fall of 2018, we accumulated over 80 rescues, involving cases of abuse, neglect, and abandonment, within less than two years. All of our rescues will live out their lives at Tilted Tavern as we provide them a safe haven and lots of love and care. This is where are volunteers come into play. Our volunteers spend time prepping and feeding the daily ration, clean and help us maintain the enclosures, and socialize and provide enrichment for our rescues.

What have we rescued? We currently have cows, ducks, geese, chickens, horses, pigs, goats, sheep, and one turkey along with one swan. Many of our animals are very social and crave attention and enrichment. You can help us provide the forever home that they deserve!
