Lotus Heart Sanctuary

Lotus Heart Sanctuary Isle of Skye is located in the picturesque village of Dunvegan. The vegan sanctuary provides a safe space for a variety of human & non-human animals to come together to simply “be”! Lotus Animal Sanctuary is a safe haven and forever home to animals who have been rescued from death and abuse and who are in need of love, care and shelter. Species so far include dogs, cows and sheep, although Lotus have been involved in rescue/rehoming since 2016 of many other species too like pigs, chickens, cats and goats. Lotus Camping Pods are beautiful purpose built pods to help generate income to sustain the sanctuary and all who live there! The vegan pods are nestled in the croft itself, surrounded by sheep and providing breath-taking views of the Cuillin Mountain Range to the left, MacLeod’s Tables in front, and Lotus Animal Sanctuary & Loch Dunvegan over to the right. The pods are bookable via AirBnB with the link to each pod on the website https://lotusheartsanctuary.com/camping-pods/ The animals residing at Lotus will give many of the Lotus visitors a real opportunity to interact with them; something they may otherwise not have that opportunity to do. This is a really important step in helping to enlighten and change the perspective many people hold around certain species of animals. Through meeting the animals, visitors will be able to clearly identify that these species have exactly the same needs, emotions and behaviours that they see and feel from the companion animals many of them will share their homes with. Regardless of species, all animals have exactly the same strong desire to live their lives and care for their babies! These animals have the ability to give and receive love, the desire to be with family and friends, the ability to grief and be sad, to feel pain and terror, to experience pleasure & happiness, to play and be mischievous – they are non-human animals just like our cats and dogs, and we are human animals – we are all earthlings who are interconnected and all existing together on planet earth – we are one - animals are not here for us, they are here with us! Always remember, the only difference between species is human perception. Social media @LotusHeartSanctuary Website www.LotusHeartSanctuary.com
