Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary is located in Poolesville.

This rural spot stretches for 400 acres and the sights are stunning.

A closer look reveals a place where rescued animals can be healed and thrive in a loving environment. Most of the animals love to be petted so prepare for a cuddly time.

There are a variety of creatures at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary, from curious cows...

...to gallant goats. These little guys are already pretty cute, but seeing them in sweaters makes them even more awe-inspiring.

Other creatures include sheep, horses, chickens, pigs, rabbits, and more.

And don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for Edward the peacock! You think he'd be hard to miss with his bright plumage, but he's pretty good at hiding.

Life is a dream for animals at the sanctuary. You'll often find them getting some much needed rest and relaxation...

...or even sunbathing! These alpacas know how to treat themselves.

The resident pigs know that a refreshing mud bath is the only way to enjoy a spa day.

Humans can enjoy adventures here, too. Hay rides are usually available, adding to the rustic farm experience.

This non-profit spot is free but donations are encouraged to keep the animals happy and well-fed. To plan your visit today, click here.
