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.
