The Black Forest Animal Sanctuary is an animal rescue and rehab farm. Hundreds of horses, livestock, dogs, cats, and small animals have been rescued since 1994. BFAS assists in education, disaster response, and works with many local youth and volunteer groups. They provide rescue operations, adoption programs, foster and sponsorship programs as well as local and national rescue efforts. You can learn more about them at www.bfasfarm.org.
