Who We Are
HAKUNA MATATA RESCUE AND SANCTUARY IS A NON-PROFIT, 501 C-3 . HMR TAKES IN STRAYS AND ABANDONED DOGS , INJURED OR ABUSED DOGS AND SOME ARE BAILED OUT OF OUR LOCAL SHELTER. HMR HAS NUMEROUS OLD, CRIPPLED DOGS, DOGS WITH MEDICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS EPILEPSEY, CANCER, BLINDNESS AND DOGS THAT MOST PEOPLE DONT WANT TO ADOPT, IE, DOGS WITH ONLY THREE LEGS ETC.
HMR MAKES SURE ALL OF THESE DOGS GET THE BEST OF CARE, INCLUDLING GREAT FOOD, WARM BEDS, GROOMING, HANDS ON LOVING AND PLAY AND WHEN ITS TIME THEY ARE GIVEN A GENTLE DEATH WITH THEIR HUMAN FRIEND HOLDING AND COMFORTING THEM. THEY ARE THEN BURIED AT THE SANCATUARY IN THEIR MARKED GRAVE. HMR IS A NO KILL RESCUE AND SANCTARY, WHERE EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GIVE THE ANIMAL A GREAT QUALITY OF LIFE IS DONE, BUT QUALITY OF LIFE IS THE KEY.
WE DO OUR VERY BEST TO ACHIEVE A "NO WORRY" ATMOSPHERE FOR ALL OF OUR FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS. HMR. IS SITUATED ON 5 ACRES OF SECLUDED LEVEL LAND WITH LARGE SHADE TREES, SAND HILLS TO PLAY "KING OF THE MOUNTAIN " ON AND MANY WADING POOLS TO COOL DOWN IN DURING THE SUMMER. A NEVER ENDING SUPPLY OF TENNIS BALLS, STUFFYS, SQUEEKIE TOYS AND DELICIOUS BISQUITS ARE ALWAYS ON HAND. ALL THE DOGS PARTAKE OF THE "BARF" DIET THREE TIMES A WEEK AND THIS IS ONE OF THE HIGH SPOTS OF THEIR LIVES. HMR HAS NOW STARTED TAKING IN PARALIZED DOGS INTO THE SANCTUARY AND NOW HAVE TWO, ROSCOE AND SASSY BRITCHES. ROSCOE IS DOING WELL WITH HIS "WHEELS" BUT SASSY ISENT SO SURE ABOUT HERS. THEY ARE REAL FIGHTERS AND REALLY SEEM TO BE ENJOYING THEIR LIFE. WE HAVE ALSO TAKEN IN THREE TERRIBLY INBRED RAT TERRIER PUPPIES BORN ON CHRISTMAS 2007. THEY HAVE LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH ROCHED BACKS AND JOINT PROBLEMS AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WALKING WELL BUT THEY ALL HAD THIS SPECIAL DESIRE TO SURVIVE . WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY, COLD LAZER AND HYDROTHERAPY, MASSAGE, LOVE AND GREAT FOOD THEY ARE DOING SOOOOO WELL. THEY LOVE TO BE CUDDLED AND TAKE THEIR WALKS IN THE SUN, LIE IN THE SUN ON THEIR THICK COMFORTERS AND JUST BE LOVED. SO GLAD WE DECIDED TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE. ALTHOUGH ITS COSTLY FOR THEIR TREATMENTS ITS BEEN SO WORTH SEEING THEIR LITTLE SMILEY FACES AS THEY PROGRESS EACH MONTH. DONATIONS FOR THESE THREE LITTLE GUYS AND FOR ROSCOE AND SASSY AND NOW SAMANTHA ,(WHO JUST CAME IN AND NEEDS WHEELS OF HER OWN) ARE REALLY NEEDED TO KEEP UP THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE.
UPDATE: MAY 2009, SAM GOT HER WHEELS AND IS STARTING TO ENJOY HER WALKS WITH HER BUDDIES.
UPDATE: DEC 2009: ITS AGAIN WITH A HEAVY HEART THAT WE TELL YOU THAT LITTLE BECKUM PASSED AWAY DECEMBER 4. HE WAS GOING TO BE THREE YEARS OLD ON CHRISTMAS DAY BUT DUE TO CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE HE WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT. HE WAS LOVED BY ALL AND WAS A TRUE LITTLE "TROOPER" WHO FOUGHT HARD FOR THREE YEARS FOR LIFE. WE KNOW HE WAS HAPPY FOR MOST OF THE THREE YEARS AND WE WHO LOVED AND CARED FOR HIM WERE WITH HIM AT THE END. BECKY LEAVES HIS BROTHERS, WILSON AND TIPPY TOES, BEHIND. REST IN PEACE LITTLE GUY.
