By Megan Allison/KTVL.com Jacksonville, Ore. -- Just two rabbits and two ducks are left. Sanctuary One turned to social media to find them a safe, new home. They are four of 20 farm animals taken in by the non-profit last February. Sansa Collins is the animal care manager. She said the animals came to Jacksonville after a Las Vegas organization failed to provide necessary care. "They were not providing appropriate vet care and food for the farm animals they took in. They were just taking in more and more without having a plan for adopting out," Collins said. She said neglect is the most common reason for adoption at her sanctuary, "Animals out in a pasture, not being fed. Strays, where they're being picked up off the streets. Not so much for direct abuse, but neglect is abuse," Collins said. Staff at the non-profit said they're careful when looking for the right home for their temporary guests. Some think of farm animals as food. The sanctuary wants to ensure these rabbits and ducks are pets only. "We want to make sure they don't end up on someone's plate. So we do screen, there is an application and adoption fee. That varies per species," Collins said. The number of animals Sanctuary One takes in is limited by space. Collins said it's to make sure they get the care they need leading up to adoption. "Every animal that is adopted out opens up space for us to be able to rescue a new animal. So when you adopt you're actually saving two," she said. Amy Wilkinson is an intern at Sanctuary One. Though she has a good time working with these furry and feathered guys, she hopes they find the right home. "They make people happy. Every time I'm near them they make me smile and they're just fun to be around," Wilkinson said.
