The Sanctuary

Our Healing Species Sanctuary is a very unique and special place!  Each dog awaits his home in natural "packs" with other dog-friends: they are never made to live in pens or "runs"- they are grouped according to personalities in one-acre yards with lots of room to play, green grass, and the open blue sky.  But when you adopt one of our dogs, you open up a space for another unwanted dog to find refuge. We are a no-kill sanctuary for dogs, meaning we do not euthanize merely if a dog seems unadoptable, sick, or has been with us a very long time. In our history of rescuing over 300 dogs (since 2008), only two have had to be euthanized due to irreparable aggression and attacking others. Their other option would have been to live in solitary confinement forever. Being "no-kill" means sometimes we get filled to over capacity and have to turn away hurting, needful dogs, so please help us make room for one by taking yours home today!
