Your donation is building the very foundation of the sanctuary—quite literally. Every dollar goes toward essential startup costs that bring this vision to life: securing the land, building safe shelters, funding initial veterinary care and supplies, and developing the healing programs that will serve both animals and people. Though our gates aren’t open yet, your support is what makes it possible for us to open them at all. You’re not giving to something that already exists—you’re helping create it from the ground up.

Check out the ‘Our Plan to Open’ button for a detailed breakdown of how much money will be allocated to each department of our organization etc. The button can be found on this page or the About Us page.

Absolutely! Once you submit your donation, shoot us an email at serenitysanctuaries@gmail.com, and let us know where you’d like your donation to be focused.

At Serenity Sanctuaries, we rescue farm animals from a range of heartbreaking yet hopeful situations. Many of our residents will come from:

• Neglect and abandonment cases where animals have been left without proper care

• Factory farms—including those shutting down or downsizing

• Slaughterhouse rescues, when animals are intercepted before ‘processing’

• Cruelty investigations, in partnership with local animal control or rescue groups

• Backyard breeders or hobby farms who can no longer care for their animals

• Surrenders from overwhelmed individuals who love their animals but can't keep them

We will always do our best to be transparent and inform our community of where and what type of situations our rescues are coming from.

Our goal is to open our first Sanctuary in 2027, somewhere in the Greater Cleveland Area!
