Indraloka Animal Sanctuary needs volunteers to help maintain our property. We provide a home for more than 200 animals, and there is always something that needs to be fixed! Primarily, we are looking for people who can build and repair fences, provide general maintenance and handy-person skills for the barns, animal pens and perches, sump pump, latches, etc. Ideally, we would love to have a few people who can rotate so that at least one person comes every week and tackles whatever is on our To Do list. All materials will be provided, and we have a lot of tools - we just need the skilled labor! If you are a handy person with basic maintenance skills who would like to volunteer to help the animals, we would love to keep you busy!

About Indraloka Animal Sanctuary, Inc.

Mission Statement
Indraloka Animal Sanctuary is named after the Sanskrit "heaven for the Gods", and is founded on two principles: 1) the earth herself and all life is sacred and 2) we are all related. Indraloka is a lifelong heaven on earth for animals that would otherwise be euthanized or slaughtered. We support rescue groups by giving safe sanctuary to animals they cannot place, and also rescue farm animals from cruelty. We purposefully take in old, injured, and sickly animals knowing they will end their earthly lives in our care, and view giving them a good death as a sacred act. Indraloka Animal Sanctuary seeks to educate the community, especially children, on ways in which we can better care for ourselves and the environment while helping animals in need. Our five core values inform every action that we take, every day: Reverence Mitakuye Oyasin (Lakota for "We are all related, we pray for all of our relatives") Joy Lovingkindness Mindfulness
Description
We currently have 200+ animals in our care, including cows, sheep, cats, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, peafowl, geese, quails, mules, and turkeys. Many of these are elderly, have chronic medical conditions, or have other special needs.
