***sanctuary acres*** is over 3 Acres of private, quiet sanctuary off Hillview Dr with an upper pasture & lower pasture. It is a half mile to the *C&O Canal* and *Potomac River*. Just across the Potomac, is Shepherdstown, WV with nearly a dozen boutique restaurants/bars, and shopping for discriminating tastes.
The *Antietam National Battlefield* is under a mile away with over 3,800 Acres historic, gorgeous rolling hills with *Antietam Creek* running through it, and South Mountain in the backdrop. It is partially treed, so provides adequate shade in the peak of Summer.
There's a firepit in the upper & lower pastures, as well as a Patio w/garden & firepit overlooking the sloping back pasture. Enjoy the ambiance of nature, yet with access to all the charm & history of 21st century restaurants & historic attractions.

They take care of what others have surrendered, discarded, or abused. Our first gift from God was life, our second was the entire created earth with the command to take care of humanity and creation with all of its gifts. Everyday the caretakers of Poplar Springs Animal Sanctuary do what God commanded all of us. From love, they tend, feed, protect, and nurture God's gifts that need humanity to heal and protect. A beautiful place doing God's work.
Huge cows, lazy pigs, friendly goats, cute chickens, loner alpaca, super cute invader groundhog. It was a nice treat. Make you sure you go on Saturdays since the volunteers those says are very helpful, informative, knowledgeable, and nice.
Had a lovely day meeting some of the residents today. The staff, mostly, if not all, volunteers, are a devoted bunch. So knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly to us visitors. Thanks for all you do.
Took a tour here and had such a great time. The animals are friendly and adorable; They'll walk right up to you, and you can pet them and feed them leaves! The volunteers are so passionate, and our guide told us all kinds of stories about the animals, their personalities, and how they got there. The people here really care about the animals, and I feel lucky that they opened their doors to us! Looking forward to their events and am even considering "adopting" an animal. ♥️🐐🐓🐖🦃🐄
We love Poplar Springs! There is so much natural beauty and many animals to pet. The staff is friendly and answered all of my kids’ questions. Definitely go to one of their events or volunteer to help the farm animals. You won’t regret it !
