About Us
Blazing Saddles is a unique animal sanctuary operation located in the coastal town of Fairhaven, MA owned by Keri Wilson and her family!

Blazing Saddles, now Little Patch of Heaven Sanctuary 501(c)(c3) pending, is dedicated to giving all animals a beautiful life! To make lasting and widespread change, Blazing Saddles is also passionate about bringing farm and exotic animal care, knowledge and interaction to their community.
