Located in Colombia, we are the only animal sanctuary in this country and the first one ever established in South America. We are also a 501c3 registered charity in the USA. EIN:47-3548963

At Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary, we believe that all animals deserve respect and protection. Our slogan: "Spiritual Equality for all Beings" is something we learned from Saint Francis of Assisi, who taught that all animals are our brothers and sisters. With this understanding, we do not discriminate by artificial designations of what animal is a “pet” and what animal is “food.” To us, all animals are family and we have 85 animals under our care, including cows, bulls, a horse, roosters, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, dogs and cats.

Our Mission
At Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary, we believe that all animals deserve respect and protection. Our slogan: Paramatma: Spiritual Equality for all Beings is something we learned from Saint Francis of Assisi, who taught that all animals are our brothers and sisters. With this understanding, we do not discriminate by artificial designations of what animal is a “pet” and what animal is “food.” To us, all animals are family .

Our Project
Our animal sanctuary located in the Andes Mountains of Colombia was recently voted VEGAN OF THE YEAR 2014 by Vegans Are Cool and our founders won the unsung vegan hero 2015. We are 3 volunteers who have dedicated ourselves to caring for rescued animals, along with educating people about how and why we have to respect animals.

We do this practically by showing how beautiful they are and how similar they are to us. We believe that humanity at large has lost connection with animals and now only see them as objects, but once people get connected with animals again, especially farm animals, by hugging them and spending time with them in a natural and peaceful environment, they come away happier and a fresh new perspective on life. Animals are just like us — they want love, peace, freedom, respect, and friendship.

If you love animals; if you believe they are our brothers and sisters; if you believe they deserve love and respect, then please get behind this project and help us!
