Our Mission
To be a leading advocate for all animals,
To maximize the healing power animals have on the human spirit, and
To provide shelter, safety, and second chances to animals in need.

What an exciting time for Alaqua Animal Refuge! With each day, we are getting closer to opening and being fully relocated to our new one-of-a-kind facility on 100 beautiful and serene acres. Buildings are continually being constructed and we are slowly moving animals over to their new shelter and sanctuary.

It is a time of growth and elation! Our entire family of staff, volunteers, board members, and donors are re-energized about our future as we continue to develop a new kind of animal welfare park and educational sanctuary to inspire and transform lives — for both the animals and the people that love them.

If you are looking to work alongside like-minded animal lovers in support of Alaqua’s mission, we have a number of new job opportunities for you! We invite you to learn more about becoming part of our team of passionate animal advocates and be part of something magnificent!

Second chances truly start here!
