Our Story
From a single plea for a donkey to a thriving community of rescuers, every life saved has a story.
The Shared Table
How did the barn get started? In 2018, it started with a single plea for a donkey about to be shipped to slaughter. That one decision changed everything.
Kevin the donkey arrived 45 days later, sad and confused. He became the catalyst for everything we are today. He showed us the healing power of empathy and second chances.
People coming together, seated at the same 'table', differences and opinions aside, under 'their roof', together FOR them."
The Name Behind the Barn
We wanted a name that represented bringing people together. Like the concept of 'Outstanding in a Field', we wanted to celebrate hard work, love, and passion. 'All Seated in a Barn' was born.
Today, we continue that legacy. Bringing together people from all walks of life—ethnicity, income, and background aside—to support something good.
The Reality of the Work
Rescue work is grueling, but the reward is infinite. Our facility in Shafter, CA is a sanctuary for those who have nowhere else to go.
