Lauren Rich

Lauren, Tour Guide, fell in love with the sanctuary the moment she spotted a group of sheep basking in the sunshine.  Carefree, they lay scattered on the hill by the road leading to the welcome hut.  Seeing this reinforced her long-held belief that all animals deserve to be this happy.  Less than a year later, Lauren joined the Humane Education team to do her part in making the world a better place for animals.  Prior to this first sanctuary visit, Lauren transitioned to Vegan after seeing the documentary, Earthlings, in 2017.  When she’s not at the sanctuary, Lauren enjoys hiking, power yoga, tennis and snuggles with her rescue dog, Hope.
