Summer of Love for Our Furry Friends!

As the sun shines brightly and the days grow longer, Freckles and Friends Animal Sanctuary is filled with the warmth and joy of our rescued animals reveling in the vibrant summer.

This season of growth and vitality inspires us to continue our mission with even greater passion, and we invite you to be a part of this exciting journey.

Your support helps us provide loving care, medical treatments, and the chance for a fresh start to animals in need. Join us in making a difference—your generosity brings the warmth and beauty of summer to life for our furry friends.

Discover Our Story

Our animal sanctuary was created with the simple purpose of providing a loving environment and the right amount of care to animals who need it. Over the years, we have transitioned our wide open spaces of Amelia, Virginia into a mixture of pens, stables, and play spaces for animals of many shapes and sizes. While our resident animals may change, our mission of connecting our community with animals in need will always stay the same.

We take in animals needing a new home and do our best to find them the right place based on their needs and our current population. Costs and steps associated with rehoming will be discussed on an individual basis.
