Sanctuary Animal Refuge

Chronic bad language or tardiness in the office? Put a collection jar on your desk and have everyone who curses or comes in late to work put in a dollar!

Grocery store with lots of customers and no charities being helped? Ask your local grocery store if you can put a collection jar on one of the cash registers and collect it at the end of the week

Need a way to get the office to not only work together but to "do good for others" together? Ask everyone in the office to donate a couple of dollars (or anything they can spare) to help save a life

Want to cut out calories one day a week? Bypass that foofy cup of coffee just one morning and put the money toward saving a life! Your body and a rescued pet will thank you!

Everyone loves your coffee cake? Why not sell slices at the office or after work to send the funds to the animals?

You make gorgeous quilts that everyone wants? Why not sell them and donate the proceeds to save the pets at Sanctuary Animal Refuge!

Kids need to earn community service hours? Not only will they earn hours, but they will learn about pet responsibility and saving lives if you have each scout or ball team member raise money for the pets! Just let us know how many hours they spend collecting for the animals!

The money raised is to save the rescued pets from euthanasia, then to have them vet checked, spayed/neutered, and transported to safety. You simply collect funds and send any amount to us through paypal! Any amount that you can send helps SO MUCH! THANK YOU!

We'd love for you to be a member of Team Sanctuary Animal Refuge!!! Please join us and donate to save the animals!

The Sanctuary is commited to the betterment of animal life.

Our program is three-fold:

Rescue. We rescue and rehabilitate abused, abandoned, and lost farm and domestic animals.

Adoption. We have an active rehoming program though which those adoptable animals that are surrendered or rescued to us are offered for adoption. Those that are not adopted live their lives in peace and harmony at the Sanctuary.

Community involvement. We offer clinics throughout the year to examine and treat animals whose owners cannot afford veterinary care.

Aside from these items, we also offer a very special "Work and Earn" program where young people in the community may work at the Sanctuary in exchange for learning about animal care and training animals. We also give them free food, vaccinations, worming treatments, and monthly flea, tick and heartworm preventatives for their pets as a benefit of their involvement.

The Miracle Baby Boy

We'd like to share a video of a puppy who was born to a VERY PREGNANT Bichon female who came into rescue from a commercial breeding facility. She had an emergency c-section not long after arriving. She gave birth to 7 puppies, but only one made it...this little darling. He is a purebred Bichon (and is already adopted to his foster mom). He's finally getting some hair, and although he tries his hardest to suckle, he just can't, so he's tube-fed every 2 hours. He has such a strong will to survive. He has already survived a week.

PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM!
Enjoy the video of the miracle baby boy.

Remember -- when you adopt a rescued pet, you don't just save ONE life, but TWO!
You save the life of the pet that you adopt, and you enable us to bring another pet to the Sanctuary to be rehabilitated and rehomed!
