Sanctuary under the Stars Evening Tour and Animal Snuggle!
-> 8416 Dahlia St #8416, Henderson, CO 80640, USA
->
Our Last Evening Event of 2024!
Join us for the most beautiful time of year, crisp, sunny fall as everyone here gets a little fuzzier and furrier to spend some time with the sweetest and cutest rescued farm animals in Colorado. Be here for our sunset golden hour, perfect for stunning photos as we watch the sun disappear over the mountains and help us tuck in the animals for the night.
We’ve been busy, and we need help snuggling all the animals and letting them know how truly loved they are. Be a rescued animal petter for the evening! This is a self-guided tour and you’ll have access to pens and pastures to meet all the different species who call Broken Shovels their forever home, with their caretakers nearby to tell you all about them.
We will have a veggie dog and root beer float bar available as a fundraiser for winter hay, so join us for dinner too!
(food and drink is an additional cost separate from the ticket price)

Visitor Guidelines:
Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary is a safe place for animals rescued from abuse, neglect, slaughter and exploitation. We do not breed or sell animals. Occasionally, animals are rescued already pregnant and they and their children will live out their lives here, never to be separated, sold or used.
This place is not a petting zoo. Although the animals love being pet and loved by our visitors, they are not here to be entertainment, but to enjoy meaningful interaction with caring guests.
You have been invited into our animals safe space. We expect you to treat them with kindness and respect. You are visiting their home; they are not here for human entertainment. Not every animal is going to be friendly. Please leave them alone if they do not want attention. Do not chase, yell or throw anything at the animals.
Understand that there are animals here in various stages of recovery from injury or illness. We work with a vast network of veterinary specialists that provide the best care for the animals. Your perception of conditions of what is considered acceptable may not actually be in the best interest of the animal or parallel what our care-taking priorities are. We welcome any questions you have about the animals.
Please follow posted rules for the safety and comfort of the animals and other visitors.
