Barker’s Feathered Friends Sanctuary — Where Care Goes Beyond the Ordinary

Welcome to Barker’s Feathered Friends Sanctuary, a safe haven where compassion, second chances, and unconditional love take flight. Nestled in the peaceful countryside, our sanctuary is home to rescued birds, farm animals, and beloved pets who have found a place to heal, grow, and be loved — just as they are.

🌿 Our Mission

We believe every animal, no matter its past, deserves kindness, comfort, and care. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and provide lifelong sanctuary for birds and animals in need — while also inspiring compassion and education within our community.

🐓 What We Do

From boarding services for poultry, birds, and dogs, to rescue and rehabilitation efforts for neglected or surrendered animals, Barker’s Feathered Friends Sanctuary is more than a shelter — it’s a family.

  • We provide loving, individualized care for every resident.

  • We offer safe, comfortable boarding for pet owners during travel, medical recovery, or military service.

  • We host educational tours and community outreach programs to teach compassion, responsible care, and the importance of animal welfare.

❤️ Our Philosophy

At Barker’s, every animal has a story — and every story matters. We go beyond the basics of shelter and care, focusing on emotional well-being, enrichment, and trust. Whether it’s a rescued hen finally feeling sunlight on her feathers, or a shy dog learning love again, we celebrate each victory, big or small.

🌎 Our Promise

To every animal who comes through our gates, we promise a life filled with safety, respect, and love. To every person who visits, we promise an experience that’s heartwarming, educational, and beyond the ordinary.

Beyond the Ordinary, Just Like They Promise”

“We boarded our parrot, Mango, while we were on vacation. The staff went above and beyond — fresh fruits, clean cages, and even playtime with other birds! When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. It’s not just boarding here; it’s genuine care.”

Military Family Approved!”

“As a deployed soldier, leaving my dog was one of the hardest parts of preparing for service. Barker’s Sanctuary made it so much easier. They took him in like one of their own and even sent me photos so I could see he was doing great. Truly grateful for their kindness.”

A Magical Place for Our Chickens!”

“When we moved houses, Barker’s kept our flock safe for two weeks. Their coops were spotless, roomy, and the birds were calm and well-fed. You can feel the love they put into every detail.”

"“A True Home Away From Home”

“I had to travel out of state for surgery and was so worried about leaving my dog behind. Barker’s Feathered Friends Sanctuary took amazing care of him! They kept his routine, sent me updates, and treated him like family. I could tell he was loved every single day. I’ll never board anywhere else.”

Educational and Inspiring

“Our homeschool group visited the sanctuary for a field trip, and it was incredible! The kids got to feed the animals, ask questions, and learn about kindness and care. We all left inspired — it’s a truly special place.”
