What We Do

Rescue

Stella’s Rescue is for the forgotten, the misfits, and the magical. From donkeys and goats to dogs and cats, every creature we take in is a reminder that second chances are worth the work.

Rehabilitate

Our small family farm started as a haven for animals who had nowhere else to go and it's quickly grown into something bigger: a rescue rooted in kindness, curiosity, and community.

Reconnect

Stella’s Rescue is about more than saving animals. It’s about building relationships, supporting families, and creating meaningful moments that help our neighbors learn, connect, and care together.
