🐴❤️ Let’s Help Dawn, a Local Rescue Hero! ❤️🐴
Our friend Dawn here in Volusia County dedicates her time, heart, and personal money to helping animals and people every single day. As a paramedic and devoted horse rescuer, she gives so much of herself to others.
Rescuing horses is incredibly expensive, with costs for feed, hay, veterinary care, and farrier services adding up quickly. Dawn takes on so much to give these beautiful animals a second chance. ❤️
Now it’s our turn to help her! 🙏 Every donation, no matter how small, and every share makes a difference.
Let’s show Dawn some love and help her continue saving lives — both human and animal! 🐴❤️

Angel’s Animal Sanctuary is a nonprofit animal sanctuary located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, dedicated to providing a safe, loving home for animals in need. Our sanctuary is home to a diverse family of rescued and surrendered animals, including horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, poultry, and other animals who each have a story of their own.
Our philosophy is simple: Where Every Life Matters.
Some animals arrive after experiencing neglect or difficult circumstances. Others can no longer be cared for by their previous families, while some simply need a safe place to spend the next chapter of their lives. Whatever brings them to us, our goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care and a place where they can feel safe, valued, and loved.
Life at the sanctuary is about much more than providing food and shelter. We are committed to supporting each animal’s physical and emotional well-being while allowing them to live as naturally and comfortably as possible. Many of our residents will remain with us for the rest of their lives.
We also believe sanctuary animals can help create greater compassion and understanding between people and animals. Through educational visits, community events, and opportunities to meet our residents and learn their stories, we hope to encourage people to see animals as individuals deserving of kindness and respect.
As a nonprofit organization, the work we do is made possible through the generosity of people who believe in our mission. Donations help provide feed, hay, veterinary and farrier care, medications, shelter maintenance, fencing, and the many other necessities involved in caring for a large family of animals every day.
When you support Angel’s Animal Sanctuary, you aren't simply making a donation—you are becoming part of an animal’s story.
Thank you for helping us provide a place of safety, compassion, and second chances.
