In 2015, Animal Recovery Mission (ARM) established its Sanctuary to provide rehabilitation and lifelong care for animals rescued through its undercover investigations—addressing a critical gap in the rescue process. As the only organization operating a fully integrated model of investigation, exposure, and direct rescue, ARM ensures that animals seized from abusive and illegal operations are not only saved but given a permanent place to recover and live safely.

The need was immediate and substantial.
As ARM’s investigations expanded, large-scale raids often resulted in hundreds of animals being removed at once—many requiring urgent, ongoing medical care. With limited capacity among existing sanctuaries, these rescues created a significant placement challenge. The Sanctuary was developed to meet this need, strengthening ARM’s ability to carry out future operations without compromising animal welfare.
A purpose-built environment for recovery and care.
Spanning nearly 100 acres, the Sanctuary supports a diverse population that includes rehabilitated wildlife, retired racehorses, and farmed animal survivors of illegal slaughter operations. The property is designed to provide both space and structure for long-term care.
From evidence to aftercare.
Many residents arrive from severely compromised and unsanitary conditions. At the Sanctuary, they transition into open pastures, access several natural ponds, and receive individualized care tailored to their medical and behavioral needs—completing ARM’s full-circle approach from investigation to lifelong aftercare.

Every month, the animals also receive routine medical check-ups and recorded on individualized health charts to monitor their progress. The incredible animal care staff monitors the animals who are in rehabilitation around the clock.
ARM has grander visions and plans and is currently building a capital campaign that will feature a fully equipped 20 stall barn with a medical treatment room, wash bays, feed room, and office. ARM is also making plans for state of the art quarantined building, which will also have a hygienic barn to treat and bring back to life the many animals that ARM brings onto the property from its operations. Eventually, these same animals, once deemed healthy by ARM’s medical staff, will be immersed into the free-roaming lifestyle with the other healthy residents.
ARM’s plans also include raising the capital to purchase connecting land surrounding the current Sanctuary.
With a focus on spreading the message of living a more humane lifestyle, ARM hopes to execute several educational campaigns and implement programs for its members and veterinary and animal law students.
ARM aspires to create the Sanctuary to become a model operation of animal rescue.
There are many ways to aide ARM in attaining this goal, which you can learn more about by clicking here on ARM’s Wish List.
There are also many other ways to play a significant role in making a forever bond with this movement, including Sponsoring an animal, leaving a legacy, and naming rights (coming available soon) of buildings upon the Sanctuary. You can also show your support by becoming a member or purchasing your very own ARM Sanctuary apparel.
