The Team
What We Do
Road to Refuge is committed to removing animals from toxic and/or desperate situations as well as saving animals from slaughter. We will place them at Road to Refuge, quarantine if required, tend to all medical needs, including mental and physical rehabilitation/socialization. When the animal is determined healthy and stable, we will place them with approved adopters / long term facility or they will remain at Road To Refuge.
