Star's Hollow

Located high on the shoulder of Horsefly Peak southwest of Montrose, Star’s Hollow Animal Sanctuary is home to nearly twenty animals – goats, ponies, cats, dogs, and donkeys - who have been rescued from neglect, abuse, abandonment, euthanasia, or slaughter. On this idyllic 40-acre farm, these animals get a second chance at life under the watchful care of locals Rosine and Rick Okie, along with their faithful livestock guardian dog Star, whose name the property honors.

Some of the animals are adopted from local shelters and rescues. Others have outlived their human companions and no longer have a home. One of the ponies was a law enforcement “takeover” – probably saved from a neglect situation. However they arrive, the rescues immediately get space, shelter, good food, veterinary care, and LOTS of love and attention. Soon Star’s Hollow will have its own social media pages where you can follow the individual stories of each of its residents.
