Happy Hooves Sanctuary in Kelowna is opening its gates once again for a community open house on Sunday to raise money for hay and irrigation.
Ahead of the event, the sanctuary is also organizing a volunteer cleanup day on Friday to prepare the grounds and get the animals ready for visitors.
Founded by Tristyn Hay, the sanctuary began with just a couple of goats and has since grown to include llamas, emus, chickens, cows, and more.
The open house offers a hands-on experience for families and animal lovers to meet the animals and explore the sanctuary.
The sanctuary is also gearing up for a major milestone. From April 30 to May 22, it will run its first full-time outreach program, which is already fully booked.
“We have about 1,500 kids coming,” Hay said.
Admission is by donation.
The open house will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is located at 1019 Curtis Rd, in Kelowna.
