Meet Our Newest Rescue: Zorgon
Attention earthlings! We have some extraordinary news to share with you today. Our latest rescue is an alien pig! Yes, you heard it right, an alien pig! Zorgon crash-landed on our sanctuary late last night, and we couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw him. He looks just like a regular pig, except for the […]

With a Little Help from our Friends…
SANCTUARY CLINIC WEEK WITH FARM SANCTUARY In June 2021, Odd Man Inn gratefully welcomed 7 members of the Farm Sanctuary animal care staff for a “Sanctuary Clinic Week” at our new location in Jamestown, Tennessee.

Adoption Saves Lives
…AND NOT JUST CATS AND DOGS! We started Odd Man Inn with just 2 dogs, a cat, and seven backyard chickens in the suburbs of Portland, OR. When we moved to the property we currently sit on (just under 4 acres in Washougal, WA), we wanted to make room for other animals in need. Within […]
She Found Us
Though Josh and I call ourselves the co-founders of Odd Man Inn, the truth is that she found us. In December 2015, I incorporated our name as a gift to us both for Christmas… as a joke. I made a little 3-ring binder with the legal documents and the receipt from the Secretary of State. I had […]
Why Wildlife Rehabilitation?

We trained for 18 months and over 1000 hours under the instruction of Dr. Jean Cypher at Rowena Wildlife Clinic in Mosier, OR. The experience gained by working elbow to elbow with a wildlife veterinarian has been invaluable. […]

The magnitude of exploitation and abuse involved in the dairy industry is incomprehensible… no matter the size or quality of the farm. Popcorn is a Jersey cow. Being born a male, he’s considered a “byproduct” of the dairy industry. Males are […]
Bat Pigs and Ethics
The living room is always a littered disarray of animals living their best lives. There are cats on the laundry pile, pigs next to the couch, and two squirrel sisters in the clinic room. The bed has a giant dog. Two middle-aged box turtles are preparing for torpor in the kitchen. I’m sure there’s a […]
Saving Grace
“GOOD ENOUGH FOR DOG FOOD” Grace was listed online as, “Good enough for dog food.” After being bred too young, Grace, a Hereford pig typically used for meat, required a c-section to get her piglets out. Her incision then ruptured because she wasn’t kept calm enough during her recovery period at home. Rather than pay […]
