Meet Our Residents
Every animal who finds their way to Boulderwood Animal Sanctuary has a story. Our residents come to us through situations of neglect, abuse, abandonment, or owner surrender, often when they have nowhere else to go. Some arrive scared or unsure. Others simply need a safe place to land. All are given time, patience, and lifelong care in a peaceful environment where they are respected as individuals—not commodities. Here, they are not bred, sold, or rehomed. They are safe. They are home. Animal sponsorship opportunities will be available soon, offering a meaningful way to support the lifelong care of individual residents while forming a deeper connection to their stories. As you meet each resident, you’re meeting an animal whose life was changed by compassion—and whose presence helps create healing for others, too.
Uno
Male Bearded Dragon
Date of arrival: 12/5/2025
Uno is a 2-year-old bearded dragon found in early December, hidden under pillows in a freezing, abandoned apartment. He’s been safe and spoiled since arriving—and will never be neglected or forgotten again.
Butterbean
Female Short-Haired Guinea Pig
Date of arrival: 06/5/2026
Butterbean arrived at the sanctuary after being relinquished from a previous situation where she was living as an office companion animal. She’s now settling into a quieter, more natural environment where she can decompress, receive attentive care, and live out her life with safety, enrichment, and respect for her individual needs
Pumpkin
Domestic pigeon
Date of arrival: July, 2024
Pumpkin was rescued after being found abandoned in a yard, severely underweight and struggling to survive. After receiving care at the wildlife clinic, he made a full recovery and came to Boulderwood as a companion for another pigeon in need.
Coconut
Domestic pigeon
Date of arrival: August, 2024
Coconut was rescued after being found abandoned and in need of care. After recovering at the wildlife clinic, he came to Boulderwood as a companion for Pumpkin following the loss of Pumpkin’s previous pigeon friend. Domestic pigeons are often overlooked, and providing them homes helps create space for the many racers and abandoned pigeons that arrive at the clinic each year.
