Dalo Acres Animal Sanctuary – Changing Lives Through Animal Rescue and Youth Programs
Dalo Acres Animal Sanctuary — Changing Lives Through Animal Rescue & Youth Programs
Founded by Jon Conklin, Dalo Acres Animal Sanctuary is a non-profit, faith-based animal rescue and youth education program devoted to farm animals and local kids. It’s where rescue meets responsibility, and healing begins for both animals and people.
The Inspiration Behind Dalo Acres
Jon grew up on a farm and learned early what animals teach best: patience, duty, and quiet courage. After witnessing neglect and abuse in his community, he chose action. Rooted in animal welfare, compassion, and service, he founded Dalo Acres—where animals and children find healing, connection, and purpose.
Mission: Rescue, Rehabilitate, Teach
- ✅ Rescue & rehabilitate farm animals who need a second chance
- ✅ Create hands-on learning so kids build confidence and life skills
- ✅ Promote compassion, self-reliance, and empathy through animal-assisted education
- ✅ Build a Christ-centered sanctuary where animals and people heal together
The animals in our care aren’t just rescued—they become teachers. They help kids practice empathy, accountability, and hard work.
Impact: What Your Support Turns Into
Intake, vet care, safe shelter, and enrichment for vulnerable farm animals.
Barn-side learning that turns chores into character and curiosity into purpose.
Fencing, coops, wash racks, and barns—built for welfare, safety, and longevity.
Every dime reinvested where it matters most: animals and kids.
Vision: Build a Refuge That Outlives Us
We’re expanding capacity, programs, and partnerships to serve more animals and more youth in Cache Valley and beyond.
- Secure and develop land for permanent sanctuary infrastructure
- Scale youth agriculture and mentorship programs
- Create a community hub for learning, service, and stewardship
