A North Carolina woman's animal sanctuary is at risk of shutting down after local zoning officials said she'd no longer be able to host fundraisers and volunteer events on her property.
Since mid-2021, Kimberly Dunckel has run the nonprofit Fairytale Farm Animal Sanctuary on the four-acre property in Winston-Salem where she lives with her husband and two children. The sanctuary takes in old, injured, and abandoned animals, often from nearby farms, that would otherwise be euthanized.
