All donations are tax
deductible
Our organization was founded in
1973 and is a family run, permanent home and safe haven for a
wide variety of animals.
Located in
Westtown, New York on an area of over 270 acres, we house, feed,
love and care for over 600 animals ranging from exotics (
including a tiger, zebra, bears and wolves) to domestic; farm to
pets, as well as feral dogs and cats found in the streets.
Many of our animals have specialty
diets, such as our Asian elephant Fritha, our small herd of reindeer
and our numerous parrots and macaws.
These specialty diets
cost roughly $1,850 a month.
As for feeding our
horses, cows, pigs, goats and other farm animals, our hay is about
$4500. every 8 to 10 days.
Their grain, an
important part of some of the animal’s diet and a favorite goodie to
others, costs roughly $3200.
a month.
Our dogs are fed twice
a day and the cost of their food runs about $1850. a month.
As for cleaning supplies, bowls,
leashes, collars, halters, flea/tick/fly repellant, tubs, pails,
tools and maintenance, this costs about $1950.
a
month .
All labor is
graciously donated.
Of course all of the
animals are examined, vaccinated, dewormed and treated for any
medical condition by our veterinarian who generously donates many of
his services.
There are many sad stories here at the
Sanctuary.
Every
animal has come with a past.
Some have been found
here by their families abandoning them, either tied to the fence,
dumped off or let in a box.
Some we have traveled and purchased in order to save. Our newest additions are five purchased horses destined for slaughter in Canada. One of them who we have named Tanner, was a horse purchased for the summer season by a camp. Because there were not enough campers for him to be needed they just stopped feeding him. He was emaciated, nearly 400 lbs. underweight.
TANNER
Another horse purchased to save her is
Gisele.
Gisele is an
emaciated, pregnant thoroughbred mare who didn’t make the cut.
She and her unborn
foal were destined for Canada as well.
Now with gracious
donations we were able to bring them home and they will live out
their lives carelessly grazing our fields living the ideal life of a
horse.
The Sanctuary is organized and run by
a family of very dedicated, knowledgeable, hard working women whose
love of animals and their well being has taken them over the past 36
years to where they are today.
They are also joined
by many volunteers, who share this same love and concern for animals
and their well being.
On the top of our “wish list” is
funding.
We hope to build newer
and bigger enclosures for our residents and with additional funds we
can save and support more helpless animals.
Any donation is
welcome and gratefully acknowledged.
All of the donations
go directly to the animals needs.
No salaries are paid,
no management fees ever come out of the donations received.
Please help us to
continue to help those in need.
Thank you!!!
