For almost two decades, SAINTS has operated out of a small converted house, but a new home is on the horizon as the rescue organization has purchased a larger property.
An animal rescue organization that takes in senior and special needs animals is now hoping for some help from the public.
SANITS Rescue in Mission, B.C., has more than 100 animals, from dogs and cats to pigs, cows and goats who are all seniors with special needs.
One of the residents is a 24-year-old blind horse named Annabelle.
“She had a painful condition in her eyes called uveitis and her owners knew it would be unfair to board a blind horse, so they were looking for a sanctuary for her,” Ali Schumann, SAINTS barn supervisor, told Global News.
Most of the animals come to SAINTS for palliative care.
“She mapped things out,” Schumann said of Annabelle.
“She can walk any area that we have here that she’s been introduced to. And she navigates it like a pro. She doesn’t bump into anything. She can run through trees. She’s amazing.”
