Home At Last Animal Sanctuary
- is an ethical lifetime care facility located in rural central
Kentucky. Two distinct areas make up the sanctuary: a companion and large
animal section; and a 150 acre wildlife refuge, where the forest dwellers
are protected from harm.
- was organized in 1997 by a small group of animal activists.
In our brief existence, we have made a difference in the lives of hundreds
of animals.
- maintains 8 dog yards (space for 35-40 dogs at any given time).
The yards vary in size but some are over an acre and all include individual
dog houses as well as one large denning house.

cats and 5 additional dogs.
- cares for 20 large animals, including cows, pigs, and goats.

- has a trap/spay/neuter release feral cat program, combined with
a low-income spay/neuter program.

do not get adopted are welcome to live out their lives in peace at our sanctuary.
- has a growing educational outreach program
- fosters animal rescue alliances with other groups, and has begun
a listserv to help improve communication between various rescues.
