Our Animal Rescue Mission is To Save as Many as Pawssible!

One of the problems in animal rescue is touching human hearts and minds, convincing people to help, to care.  In Spokane we have had people blow up their dogs, multiple serial cat killers, dogs shot in their own yards, poison and glass shards in food left as bait.  

Animal Nature Sanctuary is a small group, dedicated but limited.

You can save animals by writing essays that we can share with the world, abusers, officials, and other rescues.  To make it fun ANS is hosting a contest.  Several stays in Cancun were donated and we have been trying to use them to the fullest.  One of those trips can be yours if you enter.  

$1 donated through PayPal and sharing your thoughts can save countless lives.  Chose one of the following topics to write:  Open Letter To Abusers, How to Save Animals, How Devaluing Animals Effects Humans, or Open Letter to Officials. Write 200 - 300 words on one of these topics and submit to ANS before December 15th.  Winners will be announced December 25th.
