Barn & Animal Care Volunteer

Bella View Farm Animal Sanctuary in Franklin, NC, is seeking dependable volunteers to assist with daily barn cleaning and general animal care for our rescued & disabled farm animals.

Our sanctuary provides a safe, lifelong home to animals in need. Keeping their living spaces clean, comfortable, and well-maintained is an essential part of their daily care.

Volunteer responsibilities include:

• Cleaning animal stalls, barns, and living areas
• Replacing bedding and hay as needed
• Cleaning and refilling water buckets
• Sweeping, raking, and maintaining outdoor animal areas

One of the best parts of volunteering at Bella View?

While your primary responsibility is barn cleaning, you’ll be working right alongside our rescued animals! Whether it’s a curious goat checking out what you’re doing, a friendly pig wandering nearby, or chickens keeping you company, you’ll be surrounded by the very animals you’re helping.

It’s a rewarding way to make a difference in their lives while experiencing the personalities that make our sanctuary so special.

What we’re looking for:

Dependable individuals who enjoy working outdoors, are comfortable around farm animals, and don’t mind getting dirty. This is an active, hands-on volunteer opportunity that involves physical work.

No previous farm animal experience is necessary. Hands-on training is provided.

Availability: Volunteer opportunities are available seven days a week. We ask for a consistent weekly commitment, with scheduling based on the sanctuary’s needs.

Age requirement: Volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
