Jacobs Ridge is a sanctuary based in Mula, near Murcia in Spain. The sanctuary offers a safe and secure home to over 120 animals that have been rescued from exploitative industries such as factory farming or the streets.
The sanctuary was founded in 2011 as a safe haven for animals and one of the first animals to be taken in by Jacobs Ridge was Jacob, the horse after which the sanctuary is named. When Jacob was found he was malnourished and tethered to a tree. He was soon joined by Nero the donkey and the two have become fast friends. Seven years down the line and Jacobs Ridge is home to a whole range of animals including dogs, goats, horses and pigs.
