SPONSOR AN ANIMAL

A Place for Sanctuary

Harmony Acres offers a lifelong commitment to every animal that calls our center home. Caring staff and volunteers ensure that each animal's needs are fully met, including dietary, enrichment, exercise, and sociability. When the animals are fully loved and cared for, we find they are eager to give back what they have received through programs benefiting others. You can support an animal for as little as $5 a month, and become part of a full circle of healing: which goes first to the animal, and then to the healing they participate in on a daily basis.

SMALL ANIMAL AND SPECIAL NEEDS SANCTUARY RESIDENTS:

One thing that we have realized over the course of our development, is that we have a special talent for providing care to those most in need. It is our joy to be able to offer care to these older residents or special needs animals who give back to our facility in ways that are undefinable. Some of these residents participate in Animal-Assisted Psychotherapy sessions; while others are here to soak up the love and care they need to support their own lives. Sponsor one of the special residents and help Harmony Acres provide them with perfect care for the duration of their lives.
