About Us

A dream, long before it had a name

Wild Pines Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue and sanctuary located in Union, South Carolina.

For years, Wild Pines began as a dream, something we talked about and worked toward long before it had a name or a place to grow. In March of 2021, that dream finally became real. What started in our backyard in Greenville, South Carolina quickly grew into something bigger than we ever imagined, and in early 2023, we relocated to Union, where Wild Pines could continue to expand and evolve.

Our mission

Wild Pines Sanctuary was founded by Tiffany Bell and Ben Hudson with a mission to provide help and sanctuary to farm animals in need.

The animals in our care are valued as part of our family, where they are loved, respected, and treated as the sentient individuals they are. Our sanctuary exists to provide them with safety and a true forever home.

Along the way, we intend to show everyone that these animals are just like us, with unique personalities, feelings, and emotions. It is important for us to educate the public about the impact of animal agriculture in hopes that everyone will make thoughtful and conscious decisions.

WILD PINES BY THE NUMBERS

A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit — EIN 86-2611629

We hope to help others see what we see every day. Animals are intelligent, emotional, and deeply unique. Each resident has their own personality, preferences, friendships, and story.

Today, Wild Pines Sanctuary is home to over 80 rescued animals, with hopes to help many more lives in the future. Our residents come from a wide range of circumstances, including cruelty and neglect cases, hoarding situations, owner surrenders, abandonment, dumping, and rescues from slaughter. No matter where they come from, they are met with compassion, patience, and the chance to finally feel safe.

We prioritize each resident's health, happiness, and quality of life, and we work every day to ensure they are comfortable, cared for, and free to live the rest of their lives as they deserve.

Help us keep them safe

Every resident here is fed, housed, and treated because someone chose to give.
