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 on a mountain near Santa Fe New Mexico, the Sanctuary is non-profit and tax-exempt. We also are an accredited member of The Association of Sanctuaries, a national organization with the highest standards for animal welfare and care.
Our founder and director, Natalie Owings, works at the Sanctuary 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without salary. She and the dogs live, family style, in the "Giant Doghouse" -- essentially a spacious room with 25 or 30 dog beds and one human bed.
The Sanctuary's Mission is Two-Fold:
The First Mission is Rescue.
We give each dog or cat immediate medical care. Each is spayed or neutered, vaccinated and rehabilitated physically and psychologically. We find loving homes for those who can be adopted. The rest live out their lives in peace and dignity at the Sanctuary.
Our Second Mission is to Teach children compassion and respect for all animals. The Sanctuary also is home to chickens, geese, turkeys, goats and donkeys, who serve as living lessons in humane education. |
