Mission Statement
Scott Field Farm Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and providing lifelong sanctuary to animals who are pregnant, abused, disabled, or neglected. Our mission is to create a safe, compassionate environment where animals can heal both physically and emotionally, and live out their lives with dignity, comfort, and care. Through our work, we strive to give vulnerable animals a second chance while fostering a culture of empathy, respect, and humane treatment for all living beings.
About This Cause
Six years ago, our story took a deeply personal turn when we were reunited with our long-lost miniature horse, Dolly. Her owner, gravely ill with cancer, needed to find her a new home. Without hesitation, we converted our chicken coop into a run-in shed and transformed our one-acre yard to accommodate Dolly. Wanting to provide her with companionship, we found Susie and Sally—two miniature donkeys whose owners had passed away. They were living in a largedonkey farm and were in need of a more intimate, loving environment. We welcomed them into our growing family. It was during a visit to that same donkey farm that we met Lily—a pregnant donkey, injured and bleeding from repeated attacks by other animals. Her vulnerability struck a chord with us, and we knew we couldn’t leave her behind. Around that time, we learned of the traditional use of donkey milk as a remedy for respiratory issues. Our daughter, who had been battling severe asthma and relying on five daily medications, experienced an incredible transformation after just one week of trying donkey milk—her wheezing stopped, and she slept through the night for the first time in her life. Within a month, she was off all medications. Lily didn’t just help our daughter—she reshaped our purpose. Driven by this powerful experience, we felt called to rescue pregnant animals in need, beginning with Katie, an abused, expectant donkey who soon joined our sanctuary. As our animal family grew, so did the need for space and infrastructure. We built our first barn and began leasing land adjacent to our property. Eventually, we made the life-changing decision to move our entire family and rescued animals to South Carolina, in search of more land, more sunlight, and greateropportunities to grow. In 2023, we purchased a 12-acre, sight-unseen farm in South Carolina. Though rundown, the land was full of potential, and we’ve spent the past two years clearing pastures, installing fencing, and restoring buildings—transforming it into a place of hope. Just two months after settling in, we came across Wilbur, a service pig who had outgrown his home and was at risk of being slaughtered. We gave him sanctuary, and in doing so, opened our hearts to a new chapter: rescuing pigs. Wilbur was soon joined by Charlotte and Fern, two potbellied piglets from an accidental litter, suffering from severe skin mites and neglect. Then came Magnolia. In September 2024, we responded to an urgent call about a hoarding case in Georgia involving several pregnant pigs left without food, water, or shelter. Working with Eastern Snouts Pig Rescue, Magnolia arrived emaciated and blind due to untreated fat pad displacement—an avoidable result of long-term neglect. One by one, more animals followed: Francine and others who needed sanctuary, healing, and love. By November 2024, it became clear that what we were doing on a small scale needed a formal structure and greater reach. We officially founded our 501(c)(3) non-profit sanctuary to meet the growing demand for animal rescue and rehabilitation in South Carolina. Our mission is rooted in every life we’ve saved and every story we’ve been a part of—and we are just getting started. Our sanctuary primarily serves South Carolina and surrounding regions; however, we respond to urgent needs wherever our resources and transportation capabilities allow. With a truck and a small SUV, we typically assist animals within a reasonable driving radius, but with the help of dedicated volunteers or when funding permits to pay for transport, we have extended our reach beyond state lines to rescue animals in critical need. We focus on rescuing vulnerable animals —particularly those who are pregnant, abused, neglected, or have special needs. Our primary rescues include miniature horses, donkeys, pigs, cats, birds and small farm animals, though we remain open to helping any animal we have the capacity and resources to care for. What sets our sanctuary apart is our deeply personal, hands-on approach to rescue and rehabilitation, especially for pregnant, abused, disabled, and neglected animals. Unlike many rescues that focus on adoption or short-term care, we provide lifelong sanctuary—ensuring every animal we take in has a permanent, safe, and loving home for the rest of their life. Another unique aspect is our focus on pregnant animals and mothers, many of whom are often overlooked due to the complexity of their care. We are one of the few sanctuaries in the region that specializes in supporting these animals through birth, rehabilitation, and long-term support for both mothers and their babies. We find other sanctuaries to take the babies to continue to allow room for more animals who aren’t as likely to be saved. All babies who leave, are welcomed back under any circumstance, at any time. Our sanctuary began from a place of lived experience—our daughter's healing journey with donkey milk led us to understand the profound impact that animals can have on human health and emotional well-being. This personal connection fuels a level of dedication, empathy, and responsiveness that makes our care not only unique but transformational—for the animals and the people who interact with them. Finally, we are a grassroots, family-run sanctuary. We’ve built our rescue from the ground up with our own hands, often turning unconventional spaces (like a chicken coop or an old barn) into safe havens. This resourcefulness and heart-centered approach enable us to do more with less and stay closely connected to the animals in our care.
