The Hogar Animal Sanctuary is a non-profit organization that rescues and recovers animals victims of exploitation, educates in veganism and fights for Animal Rights and against specism. After more than twelve years of activity, our sanctuary project has allowed the rescue, and subsequent accommodation in its facilities, of more than 200 animals facing a safe death in slaughterhouses or other extermination centers. The Hogar Animal Sanctuary also develops an important informative and awareness social work, carrying out educational actions, aimed at children and adults, that promote the values of respect, justice and equality, extending them to all individuals without distinction of species. To do this, we use specific instruments designed for this purpose such as lectures in educational or occupational centers, street-level campaigns or the edition of own teaching material. Our space: Create a space free of specism, within whose physical limits products of animal origin are not consumed or advertised. Maintain adequate facilities based on the needs and interests of each individual and according to their personal characteristics. Our actions: Develop educational projects aimed at children and adults in order to eliminate the barrier of ignorance towards other species. Generate didactic and awareness material. Rescue animals victims of situations of exploitation, aggressions or abandonment, offering them the possibility of a dignified and pleasant life. Investigate about the care and needs of each of the inhabitants of the sanctuary, from the point of view of their own well-being and health, not from the intention of exploitation. Our aim: Maintain a place safe from specism, that is, where there is no discrimination based on the species and all animals are respected equally and considered as unique and unrepeatable individuals with their own personality and interests. Give a home and ensure a long and satisfying life to as many animals as possible. Promote veganism, a lifestyle free of animal exploitation.
