Mission: The Heart and Soul Animal Sanctuary is a place of refuge for neglected, abused, and abandoned animals. We provide the care necessary to rehabilitate and re-home animals and a permanent residence for those who are too traumatized, sick, or injured to be placed. We do not cage animals, but instead provide them with the freedom to socialize, as we believe this is the best way to restore their trust. We work with schools and community groups to educate the public on humane animal care and encourage pet adoption. We work toward a future free of cruelty toward animals.

Target demographics: The Heart and Soul Animal Sanctuary is a place of refuge for animals who otherwise would perish: The abandoned, the abused, the sick, the old, the suffering. Located on 130 wooded acres In the Santa Fe National Forest.
