Whisper’s Sanctuary
A place of peace and healing for horses and other animals
Animal Sanctuary in Arizona
Motivated by witnessing the misfortunes of abused animals, and the uncertain plight of horses sent to auction, we are dedicated to offering an alternative solution for unwanted animals, or those whose owners can no longer care for them. We provide animals a place to live out their days in peace, surrounded by beauty, companionship, and love.
All animals at the Ranch have a job, according to their talents and abilities. We believe this gives each animal a sense of purpose and a feeling of belonging. Whether a job may be simply acting as a companion to an older animal, facilitating therapy with people, or participating in farm safety and security, each individual makes a significant contribution to the functioning of the Sanctuary.
The Ranch is comprised of 26 acres in Elgin, Arizona at an elevation of 5100 ft., surrounded by the Coronado National Forest. The views are endless, as are the dreams inspired by providing a safe haven for animals in need.
Donations and Volunteering
If you have an animal seeking a new home, please contact us to discuss your situation. We have received calls for hundreds of horses that need homes since we began the Sanctuary in 2005. We do our best to triage animals to the best possible homes if we cannot accept them into the Sanctuary. Finances limit the number of animals we can accept, as we operate mostly out of pocket. We rely on your donations, and appreciate your kindness and generosity. Donations of any size are graciously accepted and appreciated.
At this time we cannot accept donations of feed for the animals as most of the animals are on fixed diets. We only purchase what we need, when it is needed, in an effort to reduce waste.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your donations are tax-deductible. We send confirmation letter to donors for use when filing your income taxes.
We participate in an online shopping program through igive.com and Goodshop.com. If you shop online and register the Sanctuary as your charity of choice these organizations will donate a percentage of your purchase amount, at no cost to you.

We offer a variety of hot and cold foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our desserts are also outstanding! We have added a new product line called Sweet Fiona – gluten-free vegan desserts with a bit of decadence! Fiona loved Sparky in his last months with us and felt inspired to make a contribution to the Sanctuary with her talents. Be sure to try her Congo Bars!
Sparky and Fiona retail their products through the Sierra Vista Co-op Market. Sparky’s Cantina mobile kitchen still operates at special events in Tucson, Sierra Vista, and Patagonia. We have the capacity for catering also! Call us to discuss your needs.
Sparky also makes homemade dog/horse treats in a variety of flavors. They are all vegan, some are grain free, and they are safe for most animal species.
We are making every effort to go completely plant based. We are committed to not serving products that contain soy, corn, or white potato. We never serve meat products and never will! We make every effort to avoid the top 8 allergens, with most of our products being gluten-free. Always read the ingredients listed, and feel free to ask if you have a question. We want you to be completely satisfied with your selections.
1 Review for Whisper’s Sanctuary
Toni hs a lovely set up in the quiet conutryside. I’ve stayed there twice for two nights each. Once with another couple ad once with a group of 8 women who were hiking on the Arizona Trail. It would have been wonderful to have spent more time there! The dwelling is capacious and the food, when COVID wasn’t an issue, was wonderful. For my vegetarian/vegan preferences, the food now would be perfect; one more reason to return. A peaceful pleasure was accompanying Toni feeding her rescued animals – horses, geese, dogs! What a generous soul she is. Walking
