Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing rescue/sanctuary for horses and other farm animals in which they can heal and thrive, and in which they in turn help us to heal and thrive. To this end we host classes in animal centered healing arts and wellness; humane and kind horse and dog training methods; advanced certification in equine assisted psycho therapies; and a safe and friendly environment for children and adults with autism, alzheimers, cancer, and mental/emotional challenges to learn, grow and enrich their lives. The animals help to teach us about connection, relationships and family, lessons we can carry into our daily lives to be happier, healthier and more responsible members of our local community and even internationally.

Chicago Canine Rescue (CCR) was founded in 2001 to help find permanent, loving homes for homeless dogs in our city. Each dog under our care is treated to a healthy, healing environment. Our qualified and educated professionals provide specialized medical treatment, plus training and adoption services. In its first ten years, CCR has saved over 3,500 dogs, many with special needs. CCR works with the Midwest's largest shelters to rescue animals that are in danger of euthanasia. In addition to caring for healthy and easily adoptable dogs, CCR - unlike most other shelters - also rescues dogs that frequently passed over for adoption, such as a sick or injured animal, a senior dog, or an animal with a manageable illness or disability.

The Gentle Barn is a national nonprofit organization, founded in 1999 as a safe haven and place of recovery for severely abused animals. The Gentle Barn offers their unique philosophy of rehabilitating animals and connecting their stories of survival and healing to the personal experiences of inner city, at-risk and special needs children who have suffered physical, mental, or emotional trauma. By interacting with The Gentle Barn’s approximate two hundred animals and taking a hands-on role in their welfare, those who participate in the programs at The Gentle Barn learn empathy, trust, and forgiveness. The Gentle Barn is run by Founder Ellie Laks and her husband and Co-founder Jay Weiner, both of whom were healed and supported by animals as children. The Gentle Barn’s mission is simple: “Inspiring Kindness and Compassion towards Animals, Our Planet, and Each Other.”

The Oasis Sanctuary is a Rescue and Retirement facility for exotic birds, predominantly CITES I and II endangered birds. We offer birds a stable and loving home for the duration of their natural lives. We do not sell or breed birds. We do not offer birds for adoption. Many of The Oasis birds come from other rehabilitation and/or adoption programs where qualified personnel determined it was not in the bird's best interest to be placed in private homes. Some of our birds have "special needs", are physically handicapped or challenged requiring unique living or feeding situations. Several have been bounced from home to home, often being physically and/or emotionally abused and have simply become too fearful of people to be companions any longer. A number of The Oasis birds are "retired" breeders, or other birds originally imported for production purposes, which, due to age, infirmity or temperament often would be facing euthanasia. Because many of our birds are not interested in or are incapable of human interaction, they are housed with the same or similar, compatible species in non-breeding pairs or small flocks in large outdoor flights.
