Camp Patriot Sanctuary Animals

Our Foundation

Safety, Love, & A Second Chance

"A dream come true, a promise kept, and a commitment to providing a safe haven for animals who need it most."

Welcome to Camp Patriot Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, founded by Nick Jongebloed and Tara Ballard. We are a mission-driven 501(c)(3) organization (EIN 33-1734970).

Currently, we provide care for dogs, cats, pigs, goats, and chickens. Our sanctuary offers both foster care and permanent sanctuary for animals requiring long-term support.
