Thrillist: 10 Reasons to Drive to Healdsburg, California

Support an animal sanctuary

Hang with some animals during your travels, all in the name of a good cause (and real good company). Take a day trip to Sunrise Horse Rescue, a nonprofit formed in 2007 to care for abused, neglected, and abandoned horses as a result of the economic crisis. Today, the team rescues and provides sanctuary for horses throughout the region, while educating the public about animal welfare and the benefits of equine-assisted learning and therapy. Book a tour to meet the herd, while also learning how you can become a “Hero for a Horse in Need” through donations and sponsorships.
