Since 2008, Nate’s Honor Animal Rescue has been dedicated to helping neglected, abandoned and mistreated dogs and cats find loving homes. Each year, with the help of countless volunteers and an incredibly supportive community, we are able to save thousands of at-risk animals and care for them at our eight-acre, no kill shelter and adoption facility on Lorraine Road in Lakewood Ranch. With your continued help, we can expand our campus and increase our scope of services to save even more homeless animals every year. Not only will we be able to help more animals find a home, but we will also be able to help them stay in their loving homes by providing important resources to pet owners, ranging from veterinary care and training classes to assistance with food and essential supplies.
MEET ROWLIE. She was about two weeks old when she was found critically injured in the parking lot of Rowlett Elementary School in Bradenton. Nate’s Honor Animal Rescue rushed in to help, providing the emergency medical treatment she needed to survive, lots of love and care, and eventually found her a forever home. Rowlie is just one of the thousands of helpless and homeless dogs and cats that we rescue each year. And we can save even more animals when we have the extra room and resources to do so. That’s why we embarked on a $10 million campus expansion plan, called Journey Home, that will double our current life-saving capacity, create an all-new kitty city and serve as a resource for pet owners in the community. The enhanced campus plans include a new 20,000-sq.-ft. adoption center, a 4,000-sq.-ft. behavior and training center, and a 5,000-sq.-ft. intake building that will allow us to house and treat sick and special needs animals being transferred from other shelters where they would have otherwise been euthanized. Other site improvements include an access to care veterinary clinic for our community, a children’s hands-on education room, a dog water play area, and a community event space. We have reached about 73% of our fundraising goal and hope that you’ll join us on this final stretch of our Journey Home. Together, we can expand to better serve our community – humans and animals alike. Our expansion allows for bigger capacity, better facilities and a broader scope of services for pet owners and their beloved pets.
