At Farmhouse Animal & Nature Sanctuary our mission is to care for, protect, love and support the exotic & farm animals that live at the sanctuary & to educate the public on animal care & nature.Dave & Lisa Burns, founders, volunteered for many years at a friend’s wild, farm & exotic animal rescue, & later became live in care takers there before the founders retired. They decided they needed to continue caring for animals in-need, so they founded FANS, a 501(C)3 nonprofit.
