At Tomten Farm and Sanctuary, we are here for the animals.
It truly is that simple.
Peace, Protection, and Possibility
Everything we do is about providing peace, protection and possibility to animals in need. Every single day our focus is on being more, doing more and giving more to create their happily-ever-after. Every animal deserves to have their dreams come true and it is our hope that here at Tomten each life is embraced in that reality.

At Tomten Every...
- animal has a different story and comes from a different situation such as an auction, a cruelty case, an owner surrender, another organization etc.

We Believe...
- in 100% transparency
- in education and raising awareness
- in embracing a plant-based lifestyle
- in inclusivity not exclusivity
- that is does not have to be "us against them"
- the animals come first
- collaboration and support of other organizations is paramount
