Our Mission

The Stardust Animal Sanctuary mission is a simple one: We are driven to rescue the ones left behind. The animals who call Stardust home come to the sanctuary worn down emotionally, physically and at risk of being euthanized or slaughtered. All beings deserve to live in a safe, loving environment for the rest of their days. For 50+ rescued companion animals and those whom society label

s as “food,” Stardust Animal Sanctuary is a forever home and safe haven. Our sanctuary journey began in 2001 with a few horses and dogs in need. We took them under our wings to treat their intensive physical and emotional injuries with the intention of finding them permanent, adoptive homes. What we found, however, was that most of these beings did not thrive in their new homes. Time and again, they were returned to the sanctuary by their adoptive families. We soon realized that our mission was not to serve as a temporary stop on these beings’ journeys. Their lives before Stardust had been consumed with tremendous pain and fear. It would take much more time - in fact, a lifetime. Our mission evolved from rescue and adopt to rescue and lifetime care. We are our animal residents’ forever safe sanctuary. When visitors leave our gates, we hope they take with them a sense of peace and calmness and an understanding that whether they’ve met a dog, horse, cow, chicken or pig, the Stardust animals and those just like them are sentient beings worthy of our love and compassion. We can only save a few but their voices speak volumes for the billions of others not so fortunate. The Stardust animal residents touch people’s hearts each and every day. Just like our mission, our message is a simple one - live kindly and compassionately. The animals are depending on us.

Enzo pup came to Stardust Animal Sanctuary in May, because he was terrified of people. Upon arriving Enzo's health immediately crashed. Poor Enzo has contracted Parvo, a deadly virus. Stardust has all our residents and visiting dogs checked. Everyone came up negative. Enzo had his three months quarantine, all vaccines and was neutered. Now this blissful boy is looking for his forever home. Please contact Laurie Kay for more information. Thank you so much for your love to this beautiful soul. [email protected] 💕💖💗❤️💕

Our Story

Our Mission Stardust Animal Sanctuary is a nonprofit 501(c)3 committed to providing a loving permanent home to farm animals as well as dogs, cats, and horses.

With lifetime care and guardianship of these permanent residents, we can address their special needs, whether it originated with medical issues, fear-based behavior, neglect, or abuse. These farm and companion animals simply need the safety and comfort of a truly forever home.

It is our mission that these animals are seen for the amazing individuals that they are. With education and healing potential in mind, we welcome the public to spend time here within the sanctuary environment.
