Distinction in our Purpose

Triple D is an animal sanctuary that merges animal shelter and care with helping people improve plans and personal leadership. Events and learning with animals is great, though you can make them more meaningful adding components for personal leadership, planning, character traits like courage, patriotism, and compassion.

Animals in residence have purpose helping people with their purposes. Stories of compassion and comebacks inspire students young and old to live with more character and competence.

So, while we can host events focused on fun like getaway days for adults and birthday parties, we offer to add fulfillment by helping students and professionals develop themselves as well as plans for fulfilling callings. Vision, menu, samples tell more.

Vision

1. Provide unique purpose-driven experiences to help students, professionals, and families to develop and improve plans for school and life, including college-career-character readiness, personal leadership, and patriotic action.
2. Give purpose to animals adopted, rescued, and boarded, including them in education, coaching, and events.
3. Host Life Leaders Institute (nonprofit) programs to advance citizen development and public service plus cooperate with like-minded organizations and leaders who value and serve education and development of personal leadership, planning, and character traits courage, patriotism, perseverance, and compassion.
4. Provide space in nature and with animals for executive coaching, life coaching, and individuals writing plans for life.
5. Educate and advocate for character trait “compassion” in schools and communities with ethical treatment of animals and people, including legal protections for animal survival, shelter standards, and prevention of killing animals for entertainment until character traits in citizens catches up whereby ethics precede laws.

Fun Fact

An average horse eats 2 or more pounds per 100 pounds of weight so a 1,000 pound horse eats 20+ pounds per day, over 7,000 pounds per year.

Principles and Practices

• Grow fruits, vegetables, and trees organically using natural materials
• Recycle kitchen organic material (egg shells, coffee grounds, vegetable scraps…) for plants
• Because of natural horsemanship, not using chemicals and minimizing processed feeds, horse manure supports organic composting after aging enriches soil
• No/low till organic gardening supports long-term natural biosystems
• Food grown feeds horses healthy foods minimizing need for medicine
• Food grown has fed veterans in homeless shelters
• Food grown yielded donations and sales to support operations
• Growing mint in dog-cat areas helps reduce fleas
• Treat the environment more and give chemicals to animals less.
