It operates on 2,700 acres in Hohenwald, TN – 85 miles southwest of Nashville. The Sanctuary exists for two reasons: • Provide captive elephants with individualized care, the companionship of a herd, and the opportunity to live out their lives in a safe haven dedicated to their wellbeing. • Raise public awareness of the complex needs of elephants in captivity, and the crisis facing elephants in the wild.

With current global conditions deteriorating, animals are less likely to find aid or help. Most of the animals in developing countries have no access to humane basic necessities – from clean water and food to the real comfort that they deserve. They are left on the streets, homeless and destitute. Our vision is based on experience and compassion, we believe animals have the right to live a humane and decent existence. Dog YoYo global initiatives is here to provide animal solutions to developing countries where animals are usually neglected.

"TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS POTCAKES ON THE ISLAND"

Hope for Paws is a 501 C-3 non-profit animal rescue organization (E.I.N: 26-2869386). We rescue dogs and all other animals who are suffering on the streets and in the shelters. Our goal is to educate people on the importance of companion animals in our society.

Hearing that over 30,000,000 animals are being subjected to torment and abuse leaves us with a heavy and hopeless heart, however, our goal is to stay as optimistic as we can with only one mission in mind- to save as many animals from this horrific outcome as we can. We work closely with some amazing organizations in China to not only rescue and repair these damaged souls but then, to actually get them into loving new homes. Once these animals are rescued straight from meat trucks, shelters, or slaughterhouses, they must enter a 2-month quarantine in which they are seen by professional Veterinarians and tested for illnesses and disease. Once cleared, we work hard to find them the absolute best, new homes that simply want to restore all that they have lost. We know we may not save them all but surely, we’re going to try.
