Overview

Mission

Our mission is based on preventing and assisting in animal cruelty and abandonment and surrendered animal cases, as well as abuse cases. We provide safe shelter, care, placement and education for large farm animals and their caregivers. We assist animal control agencies, police, courts and other animal rescues on abuse cases.
