Animal Saints Rescue Society

About this organization

Founder Cynthia Ivey-Abitz is an artist who found herself living with senior Shih Tzus no one else wanted, so she started ASRS to save senior hair-not-fur dogs from kill shelters and place them with committed humans. Many of the Animal Saints have health issues that owners did not want to deal with or could not afford. ASRS emphasizes training and prides itself on detailed health care for all sanctuary residents and adoptees. A network of volunteers transports animals to vet hospitals as far as Kentucky in order to get affordable care. All ASRS residents are fed fresh cooked food. In our last reporting year we placed over 75 Animal Saints.
