Sanctuary Campus of Bucks County
AI-generated images shown here are conceptual renderings intended to illustrate our vision for the future Sanctuary Campus.
ACF’s flagship project is the creation of the Sanctuary Campus of Bucks County (Sanctuary Campus), a permanently preserved 10+ acre farm campus. Property acquisition will focus on central to northern Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
10+ Acre Preserved Land Campus
The property will be permanently protected as preserved land, ensuring long-term responsible stewardship, habitat protection, and community benefit. The campus will include walking paths, educational and medical spaces, sanctuary barns and pastures, and areas dedicated to companion and farm animal care.
Key Campus Components
The Sanctuary Campus will operate as a vibrant, community-centered resource focused on four key pillars:
1. Nonprofit Veterinary Clinic
2. Rescue Collaboration Center
3. Animal Sanctuary
4. Education Center
