AVAnimal Rescue Sanctuary is an expression of a new kind of animal shelter—the
long-term animal sanctuary. We provide unadoptable animals with loving
care, a nurturing environment that is safe and stable, a place to belong…
a home for life.
We provide lifetime care for cats and dogs with special needs, health, age or other issues,
who cannot find a home, but who can still lead a quality life. Most shelters
offer two options for animals: adoption or euthanasia. A typical family
home is not appropriate for every animal. Those who are old, or who have
disabilities, health or temperament problems may do better in another setting.
AVAnimal Rescue Sanctuary believes that these special animals deserve an
alternative that will meet their needs. Hence, AVAnimal Rescue Sanctuary
just sorta happened on it's own and continues to grow. Our unadoptable
animals enjoy a quality life, where they can be themselves, run and play,
and be loved and cherished for as long as they live.
We believe that animals should live in a setting that is appropriately
scaled to allow for individual attention and specialized care. This is
why AVAnimal Rescue Sanctuary is able to give its residents a quality life
and not just a warehoused existence.
At AVAnimal Rescue Sanctuary, once an unadoptable animal comes to us, it
truly has a home for life. Through our example, we hope to discourage an
acceptance of euthanasia for animals who can still live a quality life.
Just as apathy can become a way of life, so can empathy.
At AVAnimal Sanctuary, we believe that, through empathy, our lives become
richer,
and our appreciation for the value of other living things grows
