A lifelong home for rescued animals in the heart of Bucovina.
At Spirit Animals Sanctuary, rescued horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, sheep, goats and other animals live in safety, with care, love and the freedom to be themselves.
A second chance, every day
We rescue horses, cows, pigs and other animals from species that rarely get one, and bring them home to safety.
Complete care, day in, day out
The right food for each of them, clean shelters and veterinary care whenever it is needed. The routine that keeps them healthy.
Not just cared for, happy
Cuddles, companionship and time spent together. Wellbeing comes from love, not just food.
Their safety should never be temporary.
Spirit Animals Sanctuary is run by Asociația lui Amos and cared for every day by Nicușor, Andreea and Dani. Nova, Rosa, Dolores, Jumbo and the other animals have found more than shelter here: they have a stable routine, companionship and time to build trust.
Most of the animals were rescued in Romania, and a few came to us all the way from Ukraine. Each has their own temperament, preferences and pace.
