Animal Sanctuaries & Services
Aimee's Farm Animal Sanctuary
Located in Gilbert, AZ, we rescue as many farm animals and horses from slaughter that we are able. We take in many in poor health, nurse them back and provide a safe haven for them to live their lives out. In some instances we will re home an animal to a forever family with a no slaughter/no breed contract, home inspection, references and back round check. We are a 501c3 non profit and rely solely on donations.
Healing Hearts Animal Rescue
Established in 2005, Healing Hearts is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of abused and neglected animals. We provide them with care and compassion at our Ranch.
Although Healing Hearts is a refuge where animals may live out their natural lives, if at all possible we try to find them a new forever home. Domestic companion and farm animals of all kinds; horses, burros, goats, sheep, pigs, & cows find a safe haven at this unique and dedicated no-kill animal facility.
The Backyard Barnyard Foundation
The Backyard Barnyard Foundation began in 2010 to help support a long time neighborhood farm that was home to rescued donkeys, goats, sheep, pigs and chickens. Little did we know that two years later we would actually become a sanctuary with a motley crew of rescued barnyard animals living in our backyard.

We are not a rescue and we do not adopt out . We are a small sanctuary providing a permanent and loving home to the animals in our care.
Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center (SWCC) rescues and rehabilitates wildlife that has been injured, displaced, and orphaned.
-
Once rehabilitated, they are returned to the wild. Sanctuary is provided to animals that cannot be released back to the wild.
-
Educational and humane scientific research opportunities are offered in the field of conservation medicine, including advice on living with wildlife and the importance of native wildlife to healthy ecosystems.
Freed Spirits Animal Rescue
We were inspired to open Freed Spirits Animal Rescue by Lek at the Elephant Nature Park (ENP) in Thailand. Lek dedicated herself completely to her mission in saving elephants from abuse and exploitation. She acted with and promoted kindness, understanding and tolerance, even in the face of the abusers. Lek taught us that animals suffer due to ignorance which anger could never combat. The majority of people do not know what elephants go through in order to “break their spirit” for entertainment, rides and labor work.
-
We went to the ENP for a week to volunteer and spend time with the elephants and what we learned was there is a great need in caring for animals after their “careers” have ended. We came home and realized the same animal needs exist here. It is our hope that the people who come to visit or volunteer to have a meaningful experience. Our goals and mission are to help animals, involve the community, and improve the quality of life for animals and humans.
Lamuella Animal Sanctuary
Lamuella Animal Sanctuary is nestled in Peoria, Arizona. We take in individuals who would otherwise not have a loving home to go to. We provide rescue, rehabilitation, and enrichment to all who live here.
-
Lamuella Animal Sanctuary knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. We rely on a community of volunteers to provide enrichment, care, and of course, snacks!
