Leave a legacy of compassion

Sanctuary is more than just a safe place for animals…it’s a commitment to a compassionate future.

At Odd Man Inn, we care for nearly 200 rescued farmed animals, most of whom were raised in environments that never intended for them to be seen, let alone loved. But their stories don’t end there. With expert care, compassion, and community, they go on to live full, meaningful lives. Loved not for what they produce, but for who they are.

And still, so many others are waiting.

As we work together toward a world where animal agriculture is no longer the norm, even a modest portion of your estate can make a lasting difference for generations of animals who will need rescue, refuge, and lifelong care.

But, by planning ahead, you can help make sure our doors ALWAYS stay open for them.

Help us build a future where sanctuary is always possible.

By including Odd Man Inn in your estate plans and joining our Sanctuary Babe Society, you can help ensure that animals in crisis will always have somewhere to land. You’re not just supporting the Sanctuary Babes who live here now, you’re creating sanctuary for those we haven’t met yet. The ones still out there. The ones yet to be born.

Your legacy can become part of the movement. One built for the long haul, and one dedicated to ensuring that compassion outlasts cruelty.

Join the Sanctuary Babe Society!

The Sanctuary Babe Society is a deeply appreciated group of supporters who’ve chosen to leave behind something powerful: a future where animals are safe, seen, and never disposable again.

There’s no obligation to share specific details about your legacy plans, but if you’ve included Odd Man Inn in your planning, we’d be honored to hear from you.

Informing us of your plans allows us to thank you and welcome you to the Sanctuary Babe Society.

Give through your estate

A bequest is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to ensure your care for animals lives on. This kind of gift helps guarantee that the Sanctuary Babes—present and future—will always have a safe place to land, no matter what.

You can include Odd Man Inn in your will by:

  • Leaving a specific dollar amount or asset (such as real estate, a trust, donor-advised fund, or other financial account)
  • Designating a percentage of your estate to Odd Man Inn
  • Donating the remainder of your estate after other gifts have been made (a residuary bequest)
  • Naming Odd Man Inn as a backup (contingent) beneficiary if others are unable to inherit

“I hereby, give, devise and bequeath [PERCENTAGE, DOLLAR AMOUNT, SHARE, or RESIDUARY] to Odd Man Inn Animal Refuge, a Tennessee nonprofit corporation having a registered address at 199 Ike Blevins Jr Rd, Jamestown, TN 38556-5929, and a mailing address of P.O. Box 1328, Jamestown, TN 38556-5929, Federal Tax ID #81-0880635, for Odd Man Inn Animal Refuge’s general use and purpose.”
