About Sweet Bear Farm & Kindness Empire
Sweet Bear Farm
Sweet Bear Farm is a nonprofit animal sanctuary in North Carolina providing rescued animals with permanent sanctuary, lifelong care, rehabilitation, protection, and a safe place to call home.
The animals who come to Sweet Bear Farm are not temporary residents. They are family. Our commitment is for life, providing nutritious food, veterinary care, safe shelter, enrichment, companionship, and the individual care each animal needs to thrive.
Sweet Bear Farm provides refuge to animals who have experienced neglect, abandonment, exploitation, or circumstances that leave them without a safe home. Once an animal comes through our gates, they have a permanent home.
