Our Mission

Little Bear Sanctuary

Little Bear Sanctuary’s mission is to provide much-needed healthy, compassionate permanent housing to abandoned, abused and/or neglected farm animals. We are a true sanctuary, our animals are never kept in pens or cages and are allowed to roam free in their natural environment. 

 

Sanctuary

How it all started.

In 2017, Chris Vane and his partner Randy Sellers took a chance on a long-time dream and purchased a 30-acre property in Southwest Florida. This was no ordinary home purchase, though. Chris and Randy wanted to create a safe space for abandoned and abused agricultural animals to live out the rest of their lives in peace, free of cages. With the support of community members and total strangers alike, Chris and Randy have been able to love and care for over 200 different animals at his sanctuary over the years—and they have big plans to help countless more.

Jessica Dobbins

This place is a little gem! Our day was filled with joy and friendly pigs, donkeys, cows, and goats. The staff was amazing. Kelly gave us a tour, and we felt so blessed to donate to this sanctuary by bringing a little bit of Christmas to this beautiful place. They are very informative and inviting, and they have a heart for the animals that they care for, and it shows. Worth a tour, and please consider a donation to this great cause!
