Welcome to Harmony Acres
We are Committed to Providing an Inclusive Environment
Harmony Acres is committed to provide a welcoming atmosphere for all individuals regardless of race, color, gender, gender identity, gender expression, military status, national origin, age, creed, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.

WHAT WE DO:
Create A Place of Sanctuary for Animals and People
Our Sanctuary is a life long home to approximately 40 animals, who give back to hurting people through professionally-facilitated Animal-Assisted Therapy Services
Provide Healing to Our Community
We provide services for those most at risk in our community: individuals who have experienced trauma, abuse, or hardship; military veterans; individuals with disabilities. 85% of our program participants have a high financial need.
Support Animal Owners In Need
Our Community Outreach efforts assist individuals struggling with a temporary hardship, so animals can stay out of the slaughter pipeline and in long-term homes where they are loved and valued.
