How they receive and help animals
-
Animals need to be identified by an agency. Then once there is room, they will be taken in.
-
They quarantine an animal that shows signs of illness. Quarantine last for a minimum of 2 weeks.
-
People adopt the animals as pets with the agreement that if the animal is no longer a fit, to return the animal.
-
Some animals are not adoptable because they have health, behavior, or age problems, or the animal could be a learning opportunity for others.
Animals

We only take dogs and cats that can tolerate people.
-
They do not take drop-off animals.

Examples of animals brought to sanctuary One

-
Goat tied to a porch on a 5 foot least for 2 years, causing permanent aggression to new people

Their future
