The Gentle Barn

About "My Gentle Barn"

The Gentle Barn's mission is "Teaching People Kindness and Compassion to Animals, Each Other and our Planet"

Ellie Lake's book and relate to her story of having a dream. The book is not only the story of how Ellie built the Gentle Barn and all the trials she went through to do it, but it’s about the animals and their stories too. If you are an animal lover and love stories of success and fulfilling your dreams, you are sure to love it!

There are over 160 farm animals that reside at the Gentle Barn. All of them have been rescued from severe abuse, neglect, abandonment or worse. They have been rehabilitated with traditional and non-traditional medicine, top quality nutrition, and countless hours in the arms of our staff and volunteers. They have regained their trust in humankind by realizing that they are now loved, and their abuse is over. Because of their ongoing physical and psychological needs, they can't be adopted and are given sanctuary with us for the rest of their lives.
