The Founding 100
Be Part of the Beginning
100 Founding Donors. $5,000. One foundation for everything that comes next.
Your gift to The First 100 will help establish True North Sanctuary’s First-Care Fund, supporting veterinary care, fencing and safe enclosures, quarantine and sanitation supplies, feed, bedding, transportation, and essential intake equipment.
We aren’t asking one person to build this sanctuary. We’re asking a community to build it together. ❤️

Many of our animals enjoy meeting visitors, but their comfort and well-being always come first. Guided tours and special experiences are designed to provide meaningful, respectful interactions while ensuring our residents feel safe and secure. Some animals love attention, while others may prefer to observe from a distance—and we always honor their individual needs.
