Our Mission
At Silver Creek Animal Sanctuary, our mission is to exemplify and encourage compassion for animals and humanity by the provision of a permanent and loving home for ill, abused, and neglected goats and llamas; and to provide a healing and learning environment with these animals for special needs children and adults.
Silver Creek Animal Sanctuary and the Silverton Arts Association are honored to host
"A Galaxy of Goats" for the whole month of March.
By highlighting the beautiful faces of the creatures we care for, we hope to share the serene, hilarious, sacred and
healing presence of these animals! It will make you look at goats in a whole new light.

- Please join us and discover the joys of cooking with WildTree products, all natural, with no additives, preservatives, MSG or food dyes. We'll learn how to make cooking quicker, easier and more healthful for those who are short on time; and a fun, interesting adventure for those who wish
to be more creative in the kitchen.
- You'll also get a chance to check out Demarle Flexipans – that fabulous flexible, nonstick bakeware that make cooking, browning and unmolding as simple as pie.
- Did we say "pie"? How about a ca?ie! We will be sampling a new dessert called a "ca?ie", which is a whole pie baked in a cake! If you like what you taste, these amazing creations will be available for purchase, with 1/2 of the proceeds going to Silver Creek Animal Sanctuary.
Our special thanks to The Green Store for letting us hold the event at their establishment at no cost, and to Judy Marston, for generously offering her Wildtree business as a fundraiser for the Sanctuary.

Rochelle is a dainty female LaMancha goat. "Dainty" yes, but one of our toughest goats. Her nickname is Little Warrior. Rochelle is 50 lbs with the teeny tiny ears characteristic of her breed. Fritz is a Nubian male, about 250 lbs, with long lop-ears. Their attraction began in the summer of 2011, steamy skies rolling over the hillside. Together Fritz and Rochelle dug out a wallow in the cool dusty dirt and could be found cuddling, napping, or catching up on goat gossip. And so it began.... |

Sanctuary SaturdaysEvery Saturday from 9:00 am - Noon, we are inviting the community to join us in some good, old-fashioned, outdoor, hard work for the animals! SHOULD I VOLUNTEER?Volunteers must be reliable, understanding, responsible, and able to commit their time. You can come help feed, take care of animals, clean, help with one-day projects, raise funds, concentrate on construction, listen for and record the needs of our animals, or just spend time with them. Furthermore, we offer anyone the chance to create their own project with us. If you have ever wanted to foster a relationship with a furry friend, or just create a home they will never forget, you are exactly who we are looking for. WHO BENEFITS?You, me and our four-legged friends! Our 87 goats and 7 llamas absorb every kind word and touch. In the non-stop daily lives we lead, we two-legged folks can sometimes forget the unconditional love that animals give. Every moment spent with our special individuals teaches us how to live and what is unique and wonderful in every creature. Unlocking the gate, you really unlock yourself! You can come and test your boundaries in the middle of a herd of goats and a landscape that rivals any postcard. Chloe, Jean Luc and Sophia will welcome you and teach you how to take care of them! If not you, then who? CLICK HERE to learn more about volunteering at Silver Creek Animal Sanctuary.
