Love, hope and possibilities.

Our Mission

The Haven at Skanda is a nonprofit farm animal sanctuary located in Cazenovia, New York,
taking in some of our country’s most badly abused and neglected farm animals
and giving them the support they need to heal, and the space to emerge as who they really are.

Because the animals are so beautifully able to let go of trauma and live in the present moment with such innocence and joy, they become loving role models showing us what is possible. For this reason, Skanda offers a wealth of programs giving people, especially children, the chance to experience the animals’ love and brilliance for themselvesl and discover new possibilities.

The Haven at Skanda’s work is made possible by generous donations from the community,
which are fully tax-deductible. Making a financial donation to The Haven at Skanda is one of the most powerful ways to make an immediate difference in the life of a rescued animal and for the children who attend our programs.
Thank you!
