Peace Plantation Animal Sanctuary Providing lifelong sanctuary and adoption services to homeless animals Peace Plantation Animal Sanctuary (PPAS) was created on a 150-acre farm in Sterling, Virginia, in 1950. The farm was named PPAS because it best captured the landscape and placid atmosphere created by its founders, Anna C. Briggs and Alice Morgan Wright. Since its creation, PPAS has experienced many challenges but through faith, a dedicated staff, and generous member support, it continues to serve homeless companion animals. PPAS works diligently for their welfare at its present location in Walton, New York, near the Catskill Mountains, where it relocated in 1983.
