Senior Animals in Need Today (SAINTS) is a farm sanctuary for senior and special needs animals in Mission, British Columbia, Canada.
Carol Hine began the sanctuary in 2004 to provide a more compassionate setting for senior animals who would otherwise spend their last days in animal shelters or pounds. After a short time in a smaller location, the sanctuary moved to a 3-acre (1.2 hectare) farm in Mission, British Columbia.[2]
The sanctuary
The farm location contains a home, barn, several outbuildings, a pond and several fields. By 2014, the sanctuary had been home to more than 600 animals since its opening. There are typically over 100 animals in care including dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, goats and llama. Animals are available for adoption and there is a foster program which houses some animals in homes of volunteers.[3][4][5]
