Love, Hope, and New Beginnings.
The Haven at Skanda is a nonprofit farm animal sanctuary in Cazenovia, New York, dedicated to rescuing and caring for abused and neglected farm animals.
We provide them with safety, healing, and the freedom to thrive.
These animals, with their ability to let go of the past and embrace life with joy, become powerful role models—showing us all, especially children, what’s possible when kindness leads the way.
Through our programs, we connect people with these incredible animals, fostering empathy, confidence, and new possibilities.
Our work is made possible by generous community support. Every donation directly helps rescue animals and enrich the lives of children in our programs.
Thank you for being part of this mission of healing and hope!

Something good for us,
And great for them. Helping mend in more ways than one.
Elskling basks in the light.
A draft horse that will not be forgotten.

Stole our hearts.
