Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary does such great work for animals in need and is a God send. They have saved countless neglected animal lives. I have known Tom, one of the owner/operators for over 25 years, and he is one of the most selfless people I know. He cares so much about animals and is spending his life making sure he can save as many neglected and unwanted animals as possible. His wealth of knowledge is remarkable. He provides a great place for these animals to live out the rest of their lives in a safe place. The animals at the sanctuary are happy, loved and well cared for.
I had the great pleasure of visiting the Sanctuary. It was so fulfilling to see animals, who have not received the needed care, have a place where they are honored and care for with compassion and love. It is awesome that a place like this exists.
Passion about what you do is an understament when it comes to what Tom does on a daily basis for thr different animals at this location. The eggs from thete are as good and fresh as it gets. Keep up the great work and thank you for what you do!
Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary
Their mission is not only saving animals but to give them a home for life. They die on their terms not because they are biters or they are no longer wanted. GSAS cares for variety of animals, like horses who are blind and bad legs. Pigs who have to be on special diets because they were given bad food which ruin their teeth. This is just two types, they also have dogs, cats, ducks, donkeys,mules and so on. Check out them out and look over their photos you will see a dog drinking water with a pig. It’s one big happy family that is why I like this non for profit. ❤️
Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary is an amazing organization. The animals are so well taken care of. I ask that people donate.
I volunteered for this sanctuary and I have to tell you I have never seen so much love for the animals. The founder tells you every animals story.
This is truly a very well-run animal sanctuary that saves a lot of lives giving them a forever home when all hope was lost and they had no where to go.
Visited this sanctuary and meet the gentleman that is dedicated to the animals who call it home. This is a wonderful place for animals who would not be here if not for Tom. The animals are loved, well cared for and one big happy family.
I have been following this Sanctuary for many years now, and they never cease to amaze me with all the hard cases they take and the number of animals they save. Each one is shown what it is like to live with unconditional love and caring. They receive excellent care and have a home there forever. Tom and his volunteers are wonderful!!
They do such a great job with animals that no one else will take due to health or behavioral issues. There is such a need in the area and across the country.

The work that is done at the Sanctuary is in such need in our area. City animal controls are overloaded. Everywhere is full so animals are dumped. Plus, most do not have the time that is needed for special care some are in need of, those that would just be put down. Those are the ones that live their lives out at the Sanctuary, the cases no one else will take. Medical or behavioral issue, they all deserve a change to live!
Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary is a wonderful place with wonderful people!! Tom and all his volunteers save animals who are abused/neglected, unwanted, about to be euthanized, and in many other unfortunate situations due to no fault of their own. He gives them a place to live out their lives being well cared for and being taught what unconditional love is all about!! Tom loves every single fur/feather baby there!! Thank God for Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary!!
Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary continues to provide a permanent home to more animals each year that would have otherwise been euthanized. Their main goal is the health care and happiness of each animal.

I seriously look daily at least once or more to see how this very committed & AMAZING gentleman is finding loving & ingenious ways to serve his abandoned, abused & neglected animals! He is Truly an inspiration! Most recently he adapted a mobile unit for his "JoJo" who is elderly & in declining health. He gets excited with any moment that suggest any of his loves are thriving! Ex; His chicken just had chicks & the video of the mama chick demonstrating her love & care for her babies was filled with love! And I guess, what I find most important is the genuineness of this gentleman that thrives by virtue of his love.
10/25/24 UPDATE!! Since I began following Tom & his Great Spirit Sanctuary as he was transitioning to this new location, & my last post I continue to marvel @ his advocacy, sensitivity & dedication to all animals he brings into his care. His creative management of meeting their needs with minimal funding is an asset & a Gift , not only to the animals but to his community as well! Truly an inspiration for those of us that are animal Lovers.
Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary is the best. Tom has so much love for every animal. These animals have a home for life. I’ve been to the sanctuary many times and I am so impressed with how the animals are so well taken care of. Every time I visit I am so relaxed and peaceful. I leave with a heart full of love.
The amount of love shown for the animals is truly wonderful. The founder spends his life for the animals.
I have been supporting the sanctuary for quite a while. It is very peaceful and a special community. I a m so grateful that Tom has the heart of a servant to take care of these animals. Please support this non profit!
I’ve visited the sanctuary and have seen first hand the amount of hard work and effort that goes into the care of all the animals. Tom is selfless and the animals are his number one priority. I feel confident in donating to this organization!
GSAS took in our pet pig Kevin Bacon when we lost our home and couldn't take him to our next. They provide amazing care and compassion to all of their animals. The stories of some of the rescued animals they've saved makes them one of the best non profits in our small town. We are beyond lucky to have them helping save the lives of so many unwanted, unloved, and unhomed animals!
Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary is a Godsend to many horses, dogs, cats, goats, and other farm animals who would have been euthanized if not for them. They also rescue animals in bad situations. They love them, care for them and give each one plenty of attention. They also have volunteers who help out and love on all the animals. WONDERFUL PLACE!!!
Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary is heaven on earth for all the animals that Tom saves. He’s an angel giving the animals a permanent home for life. I am a sponsor and donate whenever I can. Wish I would win the lottery to help Tom rescue even more friends. Please think about a donation to help all these abused and neglected animals live out the rest of their life in this loving place

This sanctuary is a God’s send for animals that have had a hard life. I have known the owner for over 20 years and he is one of the most kindest, compassionate human beings I have ever met. He puts so much hard work into everything he does and truly cares for the well-being of all the animals.

Thank you so much.
I am a monthly donor and have been purchasing all my eggs from here since last year. There is such a great need for all these neglected and otherwise unwanted animals who have suffered greatly and are so deserving of a forever home. I was told they are expanding to a new, much larger location in order to help even more of these animals in need. Please support, donate and/or volunteer this rescue!
Found the sanctuary by buying Snowflake Eggs. Tom educated me about the animals and then I started following the non profit on Facebook. I cannot financially help much but have brought towels etc. When I brought a friend he educated us to not look at the new dogs, they were in training
Great sanctuary and mission tom is doing! He really cares for the animals well being and does everything possible to insure they are well taken care of. Absolutely amazing!
I love this place. You can tell they love what they do. It's awesome too see these animals get a forever home filled with good food, lots of love and love in peace.
I had heard about Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary's work for about 5 years. As a professional pet sitter I have a deep heart for working with pets & animals.
In June 2022, a friend and I made reservations to stay several days in the nearby Heritage Inn.
We got to visit all the animals & Tom twice. We were impressed with the setup, the animals' homes, the imported chicken coup, the stalls, Tom's heart of service.
We even brought lots of fruits and veggies for snacks and Tom said he would cut them up before we returned the next day, so we could serve them ourselves. It was all such a terrific treat! We could tell the animals were so well-cared for & that the Sanctuary was serving these animals in a heartful way!
I am a monthly sponsor for Momma Carol and glad I can do my small part in keeping this collective dream & mission alive.
I have been following Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary and even visited them several times. I love the amazing work they do to these beautiful animals. They have saved so many and some of their stories are so sad. They rely on donations to do this beautiful work. I am so happy that they are able to care for them.

I have donated and visited the Great spirit animal sanctuary and I was amazed and so pleased. First how many animals now have a forever home but how so many different animals all get along. These animals look so pleased and so happy that is because they received love and feel Secure. Thank you Great spirit animal sanctuary for all you do to let these animals live the rest of their lives in peace.
This Sanctuary is AMAZING!!!!!! The people who run it have such a LOVE for any animal they come across.
We have been fortunate to help here through the years.
Our newest member of the family was one of their rescues!!!!!! We have been so thankful for Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary!
Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary is my go-to Non-Profit. Anytime I have extra money I am happy to send food or donate cash to help out with their feed and/or medical bills. They are always open to helping out any animal who is unwanted, abused, or in danger of euthanasia. I am honored to sponsor one of their rescued feral cats, I even got to name her and chose Nutmeg as her moniker. I am always quick to share their posts and encourage my friends and family to donate to this wonderful Sanctuary.
I was introduced to this beautiful animal sanctuary 2 years ago. I am a doner, volunteer, supporter. This sanctuary is owned by Tom and Ryan. These two men dedicate their lives providing love, care, and support to these once abused, neglected, unwanted animals. Offering them a place to live their lives in peace, and love and care.
Oh my goodness where to start....I absolutely love this place! Not only do they welcome the animals with open arms, they make you feel right at home when you come to just visit or volunteer! Tom introduced us to all the animals and told us ALL their names! My personal favorite is Fred the horse...he was so beat up when he got there and he is thriving now! The love that these animals receive from Tom is beyond words. I could go on & on but you must go check this wonderful place out for yourself and if you can't....please donate to them.
It's a fabulous Forever Home for these animals!
This non profit is absolutely fantastic! The care and commitment that Tom and all his volunteers put into it is second to none! These animals have a forever home with people who care about them and they know that they will never have to suffer or be scared again. To see animals that had a awful start absolutely blossom in this facilities care is amazing!
Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary is one of my favorite nonprofits. They take exceptional care of the animals they have given a forever home to, along with providing educational experiences for children in the community.
Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary gave our family pig, Kevin Bacon, a forever home when we had to move and couldn't take him with us! We still visit Kevin and he is the happiest we've ever seen. All of the animals are so happy! The work these incredible people do is beyond amazing!
There aren’t enough words to say about this compassionate and caring rescue. They are amazing!!!! Any and every animal they have saved has had an amazing life there!!!!
This animal sanctuary is absolutely amazing! They personally helped me by taking in a horse who was lame by no fault of his own- someone had previously neglected him resulting in him no longer being rideable. They provide amazing care and take pride in their facility. They are compassionate and caring in every aspect. Tom has a heart of gold and loves these animals and gives him the best care possible. The facility is so clean and they animals have so much room to live and the horses are able to roam during the day as well. They all are provided shelter and get frequent vet checks! Tom deserves nothing but praise. I’m so blessed I found him and please donate if you can!
I'm so impressed with the services they provide neglected and disabled animals. Please help support this great organization
