The Giddyup Getaway at The River Haven Sanctuary

Jeff and Lucy run the River Haven Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization. Their mission is to care for rescued livestock animals with the utmost respect and empathy and to inspire others through education and outreach. They enjoy connecting visitors and guests to resident animals and the land they steward.

Prior to founding the River Haven Sanctuary, Jeff worked as a real estate developer and construction supervisor. From 1999 to 2018, he owned and operated Hunsinger Development Corporation, a real estate development firm in Boston, MA. Jeff started his professional career seven years prior as a corporate and securities lawyer.

Lucy worked as a high school special educator with 20 years of service in both private and public education. She draws on her interest in behavior analysis and constructional design for learning to create educational experiences for human visitors to the sanctuary and to optimize enrichment and management practices for animal residents.

Jeff and Lucy enjoy hosting guests at the properties on the sanctuary grounds as it fulfills their mission of connecting people with rescued animals. They particularly enjoy conducting tours and animal adventure activities for guests.
