Could You Help Bring The Village To Life? Apply Below.

AOHE Village is a long-term vision to create a sanctuary-based community where humans and animals can thrive together.

A place where rescued animals are protected.

Where people reconnect with themselves, each other, and the natural world.

Where compassion becomes a way of life.

This vision is still being built.

And we know it won't be built alone.

We're looking for people who feel genuinely called to help bring it to life.

Why We're Building

Most animal sanctuaries rely heavily on donations.

Most businesses exist solely to maximize profit.

AOHE was designed differently.

Through AOHE Foundation, we support animal rescue, street dog initiatives, education, and community programs.

Through AOHE Living, we create experiences that sustain the mission through retreats, wellness offerings, accommodations, and intentional living opportunities.

The business funds the mission.

The mission gives purpose to the business.

Together, they create a more sustainable model for healing animals, humans, and the earth.

What We're Building

Imagine a place where...

  • Animals are rescued, protected, and deeply cared for.

  • Street dogs receive food, medical care, and support.

  • People gather for retreats rooted in service, mindfulness, and connection.

  • Gardens and food forests nourish both people and the land.

  • Sauna, cold plunge, meditation, and community circles support wellbeing.

  • Visitors disconnect from the noise of modern life and reconnect with what matters most.

  • Individuals and couples live within a small intentional community.

  • Guests can stay for a season, volunteer, or immerse themselves in village life.

  • People leave more connected to themselves, animals, and the earth.

This is the future we're working toward.

How The Model Works

AOHE is designed as an ecosystem.

AOHE Foundation (Non-Profit)

The Foundation exists to create impact.

Its focus includes:

  • Animal sanctuary operations

  • Animal rescue efforts

  • Street dog initiatives

  • Education and advocacy

  • Volunteer programs

  • Community outreach

Potential funding sources include:

  • Donations

  • Sponsorships

  • Grants

  • Fundraising campaigns

  • Legacy giving

AOHE Living (Social Enterprise)

AOHE Living exists to generate sustainable revenue that supports the mission.

Potential revenue streams include:

  • Yearly retreats

  • Guest accommodations

  • Wellness experiences

  • Seasonal stay programs

  • Plant-based café offerings

  • Educational workshops and events

  • Future resident contributions

Rather than relying on a single source of income, AOHE is designed to create resilience through diversification.

Profit isn't the purpose.

It's the fuel for the ANIMALS.

What Partnership Could Look Like

There isn't just one way to help build the village.

Some people may contribute through their skills and expertise.

Others may choose to support the vision financially.

Some may eventually call the village home.

Others may spend part of the year here, using it as a second home and a place to reconnect with what matters most.

While we're open to many forms of partnership, our preference is to build alongside people who want to become part of the community itself.

People who aren't simply investing in a project.

But investing in a way of life.

A future they hope to help shape.

Partnership May Include

  • Financial investment

  • Strategic guidance and mentorship

  • Land acquisition and development expertise

  • Architecture and design

  • Animal sanctuary experience

  • Marketing and storytelling

  • Fundraising and grant support

  • Legal and operational guidance

  • Community building

  • Seasonal living opportunities

  • Long-term residency possibilities

  • Using the village as a second home rooted in service and community

  • Skills we haven't even thought of yet

This Might Be For You If...

  • You want to help build something meaningful from the ground up.

  • You care deeply about animals and the future of our planet.

  • You believe business can be a force for good.

  • You want your work and investments to reflect your values.

  • You're excited by collaboration and shared purpose.

  • You have skills, experience, resources, or connections that could help this vision grow.

  • You're drawn to the possibility of being part of the community you're helping create.

  • You believe the world needs new models for how humans live together.

This Might Not Be For You If...

  • Your primary motivation is financial return.

  • You're looking for control rather than collaboration.

  • You struggle to work alongside people with different perspectives.

  • You value status over service.

  • You're unwilling to receive feedback as the vision evolves.

  • You seek recognition more than impact.

  • You prefer passive ownership over active stewardship.

  • You need certainty before you're willing to believe in a vision.

Before You Express Interest...

Take a moment and ask yourself:

  • What kind of legacy do I want to leave behind?

  • What gifts have I been given that could serve something larger than myself?

  • What would it look like if my resources aligned with my values?

  • Am I excited by the process of building, not just the outcome?

  • If this village existed today, would I want to be part of bringing it to life?

If your answer is yes, we'd love to learn more about you.

Steward / Partner Interest Form

This form is not a commitment.

It's simply the beginning of a conversation.

We're not looking for everyone.

We're looking for people who feel genuinely aligned with the mission and want to help build something that outlives all of us.

Whether you hope to contribute through investment, expertise, strategic support, or one day spending part of your life in the village, we'd love to hear your story.
