What Is West Place Animal Sanctuary?

West Place Animal Sanctuary in Tiverton is a non-profit organization that provides a permanent home and lifelong care to farm animals rescued from abuse, neglect, and cruelty cases.

The sanctuary hosts three public visitors weekends each year, and each one serves as a critical fundraiser for an underfunded organization dedicated to underserved animal populations.

Most local families get pre-cut trees from a variety of places, but for those who want to get a little more hands-on this holiday, there are a few places within driving distance to not only cut your own tree, but to also tag it earlier in the season.
