Read about our Sanctuary’s general updates
Topics Include:
RESCUE HEN: EMELIA
Named after Amelia Earhart, Emelia is a fearless rescue hen who loves to explore. She likes to protect her more vulnerable hen friends in the recovery stall or flies off on new adventures; and reminds us that healing is about finding the freedom to move forward.
RESCUE HEN: DAGNY
Meet Dagny, one of 43 rescued hens. Once a victim of the commercial egg industry, she is healing and has become gentle caregiver herself. Find out how you can support her
Rescue Hen: PRECIOUS
Precious was shy. Who could blame her after the life she’d lived. She hid within the group of 42 others who, like her, had been whisked away from certain death to a place of safety…
April is Heartworm & Lyme Awareness Month
Heartworm and tick‑borne diseases are prevalent in Pennsylvania, but early testing and year‑round prevention can keep your dog safe. Learn the symptoms to watch for, how these diseases spread, and where dog-owners can access testing and prevention support.
Professional Resilience Training
Many helping professionals begin searching for professional resilience training when the work they care deeply about starts to feel unsustainable. Burnout, compassion fatigue, and cumulative stress can quietly erode well-being and effectiveness, even among skilled and dedicated practitioners.
Animal-Assisted Program for Inpatient and Residential Care Settings
Healing Through Connection is an animal-guided, nature-based program at Indraloka designed specifically for inpatient facilities, residential treatment programs, and recovery communities seeking meaningful, experiential support for healing and resilience.
A Sanctuary Therapy Setting Membership
A sanctuary therapy setting membership at Indraloka is designed specifically for licensed therapists and clinical professionals who want access to a peaceful, nature-based setting where they can conduct therapy sessions with clients.
What to Expect From a Personal reflective Retreat
A personal reflective retreat offers protected time and space to slow down, listen inwardly, and reconnect with what matters most. Rather than focusing on productivity or self-improvement, the intention is presence, restoration, and meaningful reflection.
What to Expect From a Trauma-Informed Team Building Experience
At Indraloka, trauma-informed team building is shaped in relationship with rescued animals. These animals are not props or activities. Their presence offers a living model of attunement, boundaries, and nonverbal communication. Teams often find that being alongside animals subtly changes how they listen, pace themselves, and relate to one another, without instruction or pressure…
PRINCESS
It was early on a Monday morning when the phone rang. “There’s a goat–she’s lying in the road screaming. I just watched someone intentionally hit her with a car.” Not pausing to consider who would do something so cruel, we readied the clinic for her arrival…
JUSTICE
She spent more than 8 years on a dairy farm. Likely torn from her own mother at birth, Justice was forcibly impregnated as soon as she was old enough to carry a baby. But like her, the babies she bore would never know their mother’s love…
Updates on Ayla – Emergency Rescue
January 15, 2025 Ayla continues to improve! She was able to walk a bit on her own today. She’s still a bit unsteady but we […]
