In a region devoid of animal shelters and other vital animal control services, the ongoing work of HAS is beyond critical in providing hope for animals continuing to suffer in Americas Deep South .The Sanctuary has saved thousands of animals including dogs, cats, goats, sheep, pigs, horses, cows, chickens, ducks, geese as well as pelicans, lizards, turtles, and pumas. We ensure they receive safe transportation away from harm, provide them with veterinary care, spay and neuter, good food and fresh water, and a lot of love and kindness. (continued on Schedule O)
