Donations Desparately Needed For His Recovery...

This poor little puppy, weighing only a mere 18 pounds, arrived at our S.A.F.E. Sanctuary via one of our wonderful volunteers. Unfortunately, he is near death – he is only hanging on by a thin thread. He is extremely emaciated, dehydrated, and in need of around the clock care. Please help us today with your donations, as Bones’ is in need of urgent, major Vet care. We have named him Bones, as we were devastated by his appearance and condition upon arrival. Thank you!

Urgent Vet Care Needed!

A Sanctuary RV Weekend

Admin — Mon, 03 May 2010 15:16:25 +0000

Lindsey was about to have a birthday. She decided that she would like to do something different for this one, so she searched the web and found our website. Yes, she decided, it would be great fun to spend the day at Saving Animals for Everyone Sanctuary with Ed her boyfriend and her 2 rescued Chihuahuas. While speaking to Lilly, the Director of the Sanctuary, Lilly suggested that they make a weekend of it and enjoy the whole Sanctuary experience by renting an RV, bring it to the Sanctuary and hook it up at the RV site available and stay for the weekend.

Lindsey did not hesitate, she put the wheels in motion and Friday at noon she, Ed and the dogs pulled into an amazing place called Saving Animals for Everyone Sanctuary. She was not sure what was to come, but it surely looked like a great adventure. After setting up the RV, they took a tour of the sanctuary, learning the animals and the stories of how they came to reside here. Saturday morning at the crack of dawn Lindsey was ready to assist Lilly with feeding the many animals and birds at the Sanctuary. She learned how to mix the feed for Buster, the mini pony, Willow, the Monkey, Raj, the camel, Paula, the pygmy goat, Sahara, the Fennec Fox, Shantie, the wolf, the macaws, cockatoos, parakeets, love bird, and many more. Lilly explained why certain animals needed specific feed and also
medications.

After feeding the animals, the daily chores started, like cleaning cages, raking the pasture, checking all the cages for any signs of needed repair. Break time was very welcomed by Lindsey and Ed. There is a lot to this Sanctuary experience. Then Lindsey got her project assignment of designing a new bird aviary with branches and toys. She used a variety of wood perches and many toys. After some final touches, the aviary now houses diamond doves and parakeets. It looks awesome. After lunch, Lilly took Lindsey on two animal rescue trips to assess whether the Sanctuary could take any of the animals and to assist other agencies with the rescue. Later in the afternoon Lindsey, Ed, and Lilly took a ride around the neighborhood.

Lindsey and Ed are from the city, and it was very interesting to them to tour a very rural area. They also visited with a few people who had adopted animals in the area, and also, with a mini potbelly pig named Princess and her owner Mark. Princess lives in the house, has her own canopy bed, and lovely 14k gold jewelry with her name on it. She also enjoys going camping with the family every weekend.

On Sunday, they relaxed and enjoyed photo ops with many animals. But before it was time to go, they enjoyed getting up close and personal with many of the animals and got great shots to remember their great RV Weekend Adventure.

Thank You

Message Body:
I am so excited that my family has found your wonderful Sanctuary. My daughter Katie and I love how you help all of the precious animals and are grateful that we can be a part of saving them. Katie cannot stop talking about the amazing visits we have had. Not many people have seen some of the unique animals you care for, let alone, being able to touch and feed them. It has raised our awareness of how many people take these animals for granted. The love and care they receive while staying with you is the best. We hope to have many more visits and will continue to support everything you do . We appreciate all that you do and are happy that we in some small way can play a part of saving and caring for these animals.
Thank You so much ,
We Love you

Lilly,

Thank you so much for finding a wonderful home for our two Longhorn Steers, Haystack & Bert.

I know they will be happy running with “Jerry’s Herd” and not being served as hamburger.

Dear Lilly,

I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful little dog. I have been wanting one for a while, but afraid to take one. Joker is the one I have been waiting for.

The Story of Flat Stanley

Admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:41:41 +0000

Perhaps you have heard of the Flat Stanley project. If not check out http://www. flatstanleyproject .com. Last week young Jacy, who lives in Maryland sent him to her Grandma and Grandpa. They brought Flat Stanley to the Sanctuary for a tour. They had a really fun visit. Paula the pygmy goat was following them all around when disaster struck. Grandma was holding Stanley by her side, when Paula decided he looked like a nice lunch, and she snatched him from Grandma. They were able to catch Paula before she completely digested him, but sadly, she did eat part of his leg. They rescued him then and continued on their tour. Amazingly, Stanley still had a smile on his face and completed the tour like a real trooper. Stanley has been sent back to Jacy and her class. Perhaps her class can now learn about people with disabilities and how they can still enjoy everything.

About Us

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:10:54 +0000

We are an animal sanctuary located in Anthony, Florida, just 15 miles
north of Ocala. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated
to providing a safe haven for animals. We have a Class 3 License
issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which
enables us to take in many types of animals: domestic, farm, and
exotic, including small primates.
The Sanctuary provides a place for animals to live that are in need of
a home. Many animals come to us because of unfortunate circumstances -
some have been lost or abandoned, or just no longer wanted. We work
with a number of state and local organizations, including animal
welfare agencies, to make sure that animals they are unable to shelter
or place are given a home. We are also contacted by owners when they
are unable to maintain the level of care the animals needs, due to
relocation, financial, or health reasons. In rare cases, the animal
may require special handling by a professional. In most cases, the
owners want to make sure that good care is provided to the animal. If
the Sanctuary is unable to take in the animal, we will work with the
owner to find another facility that is able to help.
