Shelter. Safety. Second Chances…

Alaqua Animal Refuge is a no-kill animal shelter and sanctuary, located in the panhandle of Florida. As the Southeast’s premier 501(c)3 refuge and sanctuary, Alaqua believes that every abused, neglected and homeless animal deserves a second chance. Since its inception in 2007, Alaqua has become a recognized leader in animal rescue, welfare, cruelty prevention, and advocacy in our region, state and around the country.

Alaqua is currently in the midst of a relocation and expansion campaign to build a one-of-a-kind facility and sanctuary—the first in the United States—on 100 donated acres just 10 miles from our current location. The new facility and sanctuary will allow Alaqua to continue all of the important work that is done now, as well as be an educational and training center to empower others to help animals and people and recreate the model worldwide.

We encourage you to read more about our story and our future journey to continue to be at the forefront for providing second chances to all animals, and giving people that love them a place to visit, volunteer, and adopt.

1 Day Ranch is a rehabilitation and rescue center for animals who have been the victims of abuse and neglect. We rehab, spay/neuter, and adopt animals out to forever families. We are always looking for foster families to open their homes to animals temporarily as well! For more information please visit 1dayranch.org. 1 Day Ranch is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization.

Amazing Grace Equine is organized to provide assistance to horses deemed be valueless or whose sole value may be calculated “by the pound.”
To provide these horses with an option other than shipment to an auction over international borders to a slaughterhouse.
To offer these horses another assessment as companion animals if it’s reasonable and kind to do so and to provide supportive foster homes until appropriate permanent homes may be found.

If it is deemed unsuitable or inhumane to maintain the horse until the end of its natural life, then to humanely euthanize the horse in a calm environment eliciting no trepidation or fear.

Amazing Grace Equine will educate breeders and owners of the ultimate cost of overbreeding and the results of “unwanted” horses.

Amazing Grace Equine will elicit moral and ethical responsibility for the lifetime of horses from equestrians worldwide.

Amazing Grace Equine will be a voice for horses in our community, state, and nation.
