Join VSDC for a tour of the Sanctuary, which is home to over 250 rescued farm animals! This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to learn about the animals’ rescue stories and interact with cows, pigs, goats, sheep, and more!
Please allow ample time so you arrive on time. You won’t want to miss one moment of these magical creatures!
**We have purchased a block of tickets, which, with fees, cost $12.24 each. We are rounding up and will donate the difference to Poplar! Tickets sell out quickly, so don’t delay!!!**
**When You Arrive**
Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary is located at 15200 Mt. Nebo Rd. Poolesville MD. There is no sign at the entrance. You will see a green gate that is shut and a white mailbox with the number 15200 on it. Get out of your car to open the gate (it is only latched, not locked), drive through, and close the gate behind you. Follow the gravel drive one mile to the marked and gated parking area. Please remain inside the gated parking area until the tour begins. Feel free to take photos of the animals and sanctuary! Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, we will be interacting with all the animals. Dress for the weather, as the tour is all outdoors
**Transportation**
The sanctuary is only accessible by car. If you need a ride, feel free to post to the page below. Of course, please use good sense in riding with people you don’t know and understand that VSDC cannot take responsibility for the behavior of volunteer drivers.
