SAINTS was officially a society in December 2004. Twenty years ago, the vision of what Senior Animals in Need Today Society (SAINTS) would become began with our founder, Carol Hine. She started by renting property and lived on site with about 30 animals, and half a dozen committed volunteers. It was her dream to have a place where animals that had no other options, lived out their remaining days at a sanctuary that cared for their medical needs and their emotional needs. Two years later she found a way to purchase 3 acres of property and SAINTS grew to welcome not just cats, dogs, and the occasional rabbit but also farm animals, guinea pigs, and even turtles. August 2018 came and Carol generously sold the property to SAINTS and then donated half the proceeds of the sale back to SAINTS. This allowed SAINTS to become mortgage-free in August 2023.
The last few years have seen huge changes and one of those changes is the slow disintegration of the buildings at SAINTS. We realized last year we could no longer put band-aids on large issues such as a crumbling foundation, a water system that constantly ran out of water during the summer months, and insufficient space for our farm guys.
February 21st we posted our property was listed for sale and today we can announce that the property has officially sold.
And now we begin the hunt for new property. It will not be easy as we have very specific needs and understand that with larger property comes larger expenses and also a mortgage. We will need the help of all that belong to the village we call SAINTS to achieve our end goal. We hope our supporters take this journey with us.
