Kirksey to the Rescue: Animal Sanctuary and Arboretum

A family-run sanctuary dedicated to providing a safe and loving home for animals in need. We deliver care, compassion, and respect through conservation.

Our Sanctuary

Kirksey to the Rescue began with our son's love and passion for animals. What started as his dream to help animals in need has grown into a mission embraced by our entire family. Inspired by his compassion and dedication, we envisioned creating something meaningful that would make a lasting difference.


Our mission is to provide a safe, loving sanctuary where animals in need can receive the care, compassion, and respect they deserve.


Our vision extends beyond animal rescue, bringing together animal welfare, nature, and conservation through a sanctuary and arboretum where animals, trees, plants, and wildlife are nurtured and protected.
Through this mission, we strive to inspire compassion, encourage environmental stewardship, and create opportunities for education and connection with the natural world that nurtures and sustains us.


What began as one child's passion has blossomed into our family's mission to protect, nurture, and give back to  animals, nature, and our community.
