A trip to Catskills Animal Sanctuary

This weekend, we were fortunate enough to travel to Saugerties, NY and visit the Catskills Animal Sanctuary, animal rescue that is home to over 300 chickens, ducks, cows, bulls, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, and many other animals. 

While you can sign up to take a guided tour of the grounds, we highly recommend spending a night or two at The Homestead B&B. In doing so, you get unrestricted access to the grounds (just don't go in the pens and enclosures, please!) from open until sunset, and you can pet all of the animals that are roaming free without the large crowds. It almost feels like your own private farm! In our video on the right, you'll see this friendly creature was contentedly following along with us!

Included in our stay at The Homestead was also the guided tour where we got to go into the enclosures and pet the animals. Did you know pigs like to have their bellies rubbed just like dogs?! And chickens held like babies?! So many fun things for children of all ages to experience at this wonderful, caring place. We highly recommend a visit this summer!
